NEW YORK, July 24 -- The real elite mixed martial arts
fighters in the world will be on display on Spike TV Saturday, July 26
(9:00pm-11:30 ET/PT) as the network presents its first ever re-broadcast of
a UFC pay-per-view in its entirety with a special presentation of "UFC 84:
Penn vs Sherk." The special event will also include behind-the-scenes
interviews and moments that never aired during the fight's original
telecast.
"UFC 84: Penn Vs Sherk," which took place Saturday, May 24, features
some of the greatest mixed martial arts talent ever assembled under one
roof. During the event, BJ Penn successfully defended his lightweight crown
against Sean Sherk, winning via TKO after delivering a thunderous flying
knee. In light heavyweight action, Lyoto Machida exhibited his technical
mastery in winning a unanimous decision against the "Huntington Beach Bad
Boy" Tito Ortiz, and Wanderlei Silva delivered one of the most crushing
knockouts in UFC history while defeating Keith Jardine less than a minute
into their hotly anticipated matchup.
The card also featured Thiago Silva stretching his undefeated record to
4-0 since arriving in the UFC as he submitted Antonio Mendes via strikes.
In addition, Goran Reljic made a huge splash in his UFC debut with a TKO of
Wilson Gouveia and Shane Carwin (9-0) continued his wining ways with in the
first round TKO over Christian Wellisch.
