The UFC and ESPN UK currently have a deal to air much of the UFC's live programming throughout the U.K., but that deal does not include UFC on Versus events.

Unfortunately for UFC fans in the U.K., while the two sides attempted to come to an agreement, ESPN UK has decided not to pick up the license for Sunday's event, and thus U.K. fans will not be able to catch Dan Hardy's bout with Chris Lytle on television.

However, for those that still wish to view the event, the organization will stream it live on UFC.TV for fans in the U.K., so along with the Facebook preliminary card stream, U.K. fans can catch all of the fights live online for free. The full card for Sunday is below:

Main Televised Card

* Dan Hardy vs. Chris Lytle
* Jim Miller vs. Ben Henderson
* Charles Oliveira vs. Donald Cerrone
* Amir Sadollah vs. Duane Ludwig[1]

Facebook Preliminary Card

* C.B. Dollaway vs. Jared Hamman
* Joseph Benavidez vs. Eddie Wineland
* Ed Herman vs. Kyle Noke
* Karlos Vemola vs. Ronny Markes
* Alex Caceres vs. Jimy Hettes
* Cole Miller vs. T.J. O'Brien
* Jacob Volkmann vs. Danny Castillo
* Edwin Figueroa vs. Jason Reinhardt
