Spike TV officials have dubbed next month "Brocktober" and have crammed a variety of Brock Lesnar-related programming into a four-week span.

The lineup includes a new three-part "UFC Primetime: Lesnar vs. Velasquez" pre-UFC 121 special that debuts Oct. 6.

Additionally, Spike TV airs a replay of July's UFC 116 pay-per-view
event, a blockbuster show that was headlined by champ Lesnar and
interim title-holder Shane Carwin, on Oct. 20.

As a reminder, the UFC's traditional pre-event preview show returns tonight with the debut of "Countdown to UFC 119: Mir vs. Cro Cop."

The one-hour-plus special debuts at 10:47 p.m. ET/PT on Spike TV and spotlights the UFC 119 headliner between former heavyweight champ Frank Mir and fellow contender Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic.

Replays air Wednesday (11 p.m. ET/PT) and Saturday (1 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET/PT) on Spike TV.

In less than a week, the 12th season of "The Ultimate Fighter" kicks off on Spike TV.

The competition reality series features UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and Josh Koscheck as opposing coaches who lead a cast of 28 lightweight UFC hopefuls.

In a new preview clip provided by Spike TV and www.ultimatefighter.com, we now get a sneak peek of the debut episode.

The UFC's return to Germany is now official.

The event, UFC 122, takes place Nov. 13 at Konig Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen, Germany, and airs via same-day delay on Spike TV.

Officials confirmed the event and a Vitor Belfort and Yushin Okami headliner, which is expected to determine a new No. 1 middleweight contender, during this week's "Ultimate Insider" episode on UFC.com.

In anticipation of their UFC 121 main-event fight, UFC heavyweight
champion Brock Lesnar and undefeated challenger Cain
Velasquez will be featured in the latest edition of
Spike TV's three-part "UFC Primetime" special.

The series debuts Wednesday, Oct. 6, at 11 p.m. ET/PT. Subsequent episodes air in the timeslot on Oct. 13 and Oct. 20.

UFC 121 takes place Oct. 23 at the Honda Center in Newark, Anaheim, Calif., and airs on pay-per-view.

This past weekend's "UFC Prelims" special on Spike TV drew a series-low 1.1 million viewers, officials today confirmed with MMAjunkie.com via email.

Nevertheless, the one-hour special drew a 0.83 household rating and was
the highest-rated cable program in its timeslot among men 18-49 and men
18-34.

However, in a rare occurrence, the ratings actually diminished throughout the broadcast, which could be blamed at least partially on a lackluster bout between Nik Lentz and Andre Winner that opened the Aug. 28 broadcast.
