Spike TV and the Ultimate Fighting Championship will show bouts from “UFC 110: Nogueira vs. Velasquez” in a bid to counter program the live CBS broadcast of the “Strikeforce: Nashville” event on April 17th.

The announcement was made today by Spike TV officials who will air the UFC event at 9p.m. ET/PT, the same time as the CBS broadcast.

The “Strikeforce: Nashville” event is headlined by a middleweight title bout between newly signed Dan Henderson vs. champ Jake Shields, with other CBS bouts including Shinya Aoki vs. Gilbert Melendez and Gegard Mousasi vs. Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal.
