UFC 165 Live Online & TV Fight Card Schedule


This September 21st, 2013 Saturday, get ready to watch live on TV and live online to see all of the action of UFC 165!  It's mixed martial arts at its best, with one of the top fighters in the business getting the spotlight once again - Jon "Bones" Jones!  There will be free preliminary fights live streaming on Facebook and available to watch on TV, before fans can check out the main fight card on pay-per-view.  Below are all the key details for the latest sports event that many WWE stars have even admitted to enjoying.  Some have even been seen in attendance at the live events, including The Undertaker, and CM Punk, not to mention the fact that Brock Lesnar left to pursue a career in UFC, then returned to WWE.

UFC 165 Schedule and Location
The UFC 165 will be held September 21st, 2013 Saturday at the famous Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada. Official announcements indicate that the free preliminary fights will get started at 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.  In total, fans will be treated to a total of approximately eight free fights on the live stream online Facebook show at 6:15PM EST and the Fox Sports 1 free TV fights at 8PM EST.  Five fights will make up the main fight card of the 10 PM EST pay-per-view which can be ordered on cable and satellite TV or live streaming services such as UFC.TV, Yahoo! and the YouTube video site.

UFC 165 will be the second pay-per-view tournament to ever feature two title defenses, following UFC 152. The event will be divided into different class categories per card. The Main Card will entail the lightweight, heavyweight, middleweight, bantamweight and the light heavyweight.

Previewing the Main Bout
Based on the stats, Jon "Bones" Jones  (18-1) and Alexander "The Mauler" Gustaffson (15-1) have exactly the same weight of 205 pounds, with the latter being an inch taller. However, height does not determine victory inside the "octagon."  Many fans will be betting on "Bones" to win the match considering the fact he has more significant strikes and grappling success throughout the history of his UFC career. Nonetheless, both fighters also have similar records, so while Jones may be the champ and the heavy favorite, anything is possible in sports.

Jones is currently considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the business, so it's no surprise he's the favorite Saturday night to win and retain his title. As for Gustaffson, many have good faith in his swift movements, which they believe could leverage his battling tactics to success.  Current odds have Jones listed as the favorite at -900, while the underdog Gustaffson is priced at +550 for bettors.

As mentioned above, starting at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, fans can watch free preliminary fights on TV via the FOX Sports 1 channel on cable or satellite.  Fans can also order the live pay-per-view at any time up to and during the event on Saturday night through various cable or satellite providers.  The main PPV starts at 10 p.m. EST and lasts 2-3 hours total.
