I keep feeling like I missed the weigh-ins already, so I keep double checking my guide, lol. 

Gregory, What do you think about the adventure to Japan?  I like it but I hope they don't start going to the "well" too often.  I kind of feel that they are going to Brazil a little to often.  At least with Japan, you don't have to put national fighters on the card because they are aware of more than just their homegrown talent.

The card prelims start at 7:30 pm eastern and main card at 10 pm eastern according to the UFC website.

EDIT: They changed it on the website from the last time I looked.
Also I'm pretty sure the first fight Quan vs Tamura is the only Facebook fight, then the rest on the undercard are on FX.

@Brad, Not fully sure, but my best guess is Sportsnet it's hard to find stuff on the UFC since you Canadians and your hockey. This is the best I could find on it for Canada (hard to find for me since I'm in the US).

The best source I can find. I will update if I find otherwise.

http://www.sportsnet.ca/pressroom/2012/02/17/cant_miss_events_feb_20_to_26/

Update: Found on the UFC 144 bout page under Canada's region, it is on Sportsnet.

sounds like the weigh-ins will also be on XBOX Live if you have that as an option.

Akiyama looks solid at 170.  I thought he would have been a little more skeletor-ish, but he looked good.
