Spike TV aired a selection of live and taped preliminary bouts from
UFC 103 on Sept. 19, which drew 1.4 million viewers and placed
second in its Male 18-34 timeslot, according to the network.
The undefeated Bader was the winner of “The Ultimate Fighter 8” and took a unanimous decision over Carmelo Marrero at UFC Fight Night 18 last April. Schafer is enjoying a four-fight win streak, which includes a first-round technical knockout over Antonio Mendes at UFC 93 last January.
Dutch kickboxer Hardonk, who’s 4-3 in the Octagon, will look to rebound from a first-round defeat against Cheick Kongo at UFC 97 last April. Barry was submitted by Tim Hague at UFC 98 last May, his first loss in five career fights.
Other bouts from UFC 104 could also air on the cable network depending on time constraints, according to the Spike TV release.
