YouTube also will stream five UFC 131 preliminary-card bouts | MMAjunkie.com

"In addition to streaming on Facebook, the first five preliminary-card bouts from Saturday's UFC 131 card also will stream for free on YouTube.

YouTube recently opened the event page with a countdown to the event, which takes place at Rogers Arena in Vancouver.

UFC executives couldn't be reached for official comment, but sources told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com) the organization simply wanted to widen its audience, reach non-Facebook users, and provide another platform that's very mobile-device-friendly.

YouTube never previously has streamed UFC events, but back in April, the video-sharing giant announced its intention to stream live concerts, interviews and sporting events. The UFC is one of the first sports organization to take advantage of the technology.

The Facebook and YouTube streams begin at 5:50 p.m. ET (2:50 p.m. PT) and precede the night's Spike TV "UFC Prelims" special (8 p.m. ET) and pay-per-view main card (9 p.m. ET).

The free streams include notables such as Krzysztof Soszynski, Nick Ring, Dustin Poirier, Joey Beltran and Michihiro Omigawa.
