The lineup is set for Friday's UFC on FX 6 event, and all fights will be televised.

The event takes place at Saturday at Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, and it airs on Friday in the U.S. due to time difference.

The main card, which includes a Ross Pearson (13-6 MMA, 5-3 UFC) vs. George Sotiropoulos (14-4 MMA, 7-2 UFC) headliner, airs on FX (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT) following prelims on FUEL TV (6 p.m. ET).

No preliminary-card fights will stream on Facebook/YouTube.

UFC on FOX 6 also serves as the tournament final of "The Ultimate Fighter: Australia vs. U.K" (also dubbed "TUF: Smashes"). Pearson and Sotiropoulos served as head coaches on the show.

The tournaments include Team U.K.'s Brad Scott (8-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) vs. Team Australia's Robert Whittaker (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at welterweight, as well as an all-Team U.K. lightweight final with Norman Parke (16-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) vs. Colin Fletcher (8-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC).
