Spike TV today further clarified what we already knew: The gloves are off.

After counter-programming the first UFC on FOX event and scoring approximately 800,000 viewers, Spike TV also will counter-program the second one.

Spike TV will run a "UFC Unleashed" marathon featuring UFC on FOX 2 headliners Rashad Evans and Phil Davis on Jan. 28 to counter FOX's live event broadcast that same night.
