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.
