Spike TV will once again air a portion of a UFC fight card on its network prior to a major pay-per-view (PPV) broadcast, as fight fans will be treated to one hour of uninterrupted mixed martial arts competition on the UFC 114: "Rampage vs. Evans" undercard on Saturday, May 29.

Currently booked for "UFC Prelims" is a lightweight showdown between Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 8 champion Efrain "Hencho en Mexico" Escudero taking on "The Upgrade" Dan Lauzon.

Following them will be a 170-pound clash of styles when another TUF alum, Amir Sadollah, tests his worth against the dangerous Dong Hyun "Stun Gun" Kim.

For longevity's sake, hopefully the televised prelims for UFC 114 will outperform the televised portion of UFC 111 and the 1.2 million viewers it garnered -- an all-time low for the series since its 2009 debut.

UFC 114 will run in conjunction with this year's Fan Expo at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center and feature a 205-pound grudge match between former light heavyweight champions and Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10 coaches "Sugar" Rashad Evans and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.

Also slated for the main card will be another former light heavyweight champion and TUF coach in Forrest Griffin, who tries to quell the recent uprising of former PRIDE star Antonio Rogerio "Minotoro" Nogueira.

Here is the current "Rampage vs. Evans" line up:

Main event:

205 lbs.: Quinton "Rampage" Jackson vs. "Sugar" Rashad Evans

Main card (Televised):

205 lbs.: Forrest Griffin vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
