Two fights have joined FX's super-sized preliminary-card broadcast for next week's UFC on FOX 5 event.

FX now airs six fights, not the usual four, prior to the Dec. 8's main-card broadcast on FOX.

The bouts include bantamweights Mike Easton (13-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) vs. Raphael Assuncao (18-4 MMA, 2-1 UFC) and featherweights Dennis Siver (20-8 MMA, 9-5 UFC) vs. Nam Phan (18-10 MMA, 2-3 UFC).

UFC on FOX 5 takes place Dec. 8 at Seattle's KeyArena and features a main event between lightweight champion Benson Henderson and top contender Nate Diaz.

Although FUEL TV carried past UFC on FOX prelims, they now head to the bigger FX. Other bouts part of next week's three-hour broadcast, which follows additional prelims on Facebook, include heavyweights Brendan Schaub (8-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) vs. Lavar Johnson (17-6 MMA, 2-1 UFC), "The Ultimate Fighter 15" lightweight winner Michael Chiesa (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) vs. Marcus LeVesseur (22-6 MMA, 1-1 UFC), "TUF 13" runner-up Ramsey Nijem (6-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) vs. fellow lightweight Joe Proctor (8-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC), and lightweights Yves Edwards (41-18-1 MMA, 9-6 UFC) vs. Jeremy Stephens (20-8 MMA, 7-6 UFC).

The full UFC on FOX 5 card includes:

That's cool and all. But I think it's kind of weird that UFC on FOX 5 will not only have more fights on FX then on FOX, but it will also have more fights on FX then any of the FX cards. Just kind of weird if you think about it.

Kind of awesome. Soooo many free fights!

Wouldn't it make sense to have five fights on the Fox broadcast ?

I can't fucking wait, I love all these fights, this is a much deserved xmas present from zuffa, only thing that can make it suck is if BJ loses but it will still be sweet
