Unexpectedly, the UFC has decided to do a promotional giveaway of free access to UFC TV for a duration of three months on their Facebook page. Perhaps they envision a Love and War theme to this year's edition of Valentine's Day or anticipate some sort of MMA-sympathetic vibe from people gifting sweets, flowers and humorously gooey cards to their loved ones. from. Who know? Anyways, the process to get the free access takes less than five minutes and is laid out below like the fancy clothes you've set out for tonight's swanky dinner reservations.

The direct link to the Facebook giveaway page is https://www.facebook.com/UFC?sk=app_344899198875231. Hit that and the directions are clear and easy to follow. The rules of the giveaway require that one have a Facebook profile, click "Like" on the UFC official page, click on the Valentine's Day image that matches the one you see on the right here in this post, receive the code and then go through a short registration or log in process on UFC TV. That's it. You're all done after that.

What you are getting access to is essentially the UFC Video Vault, with all the old fights, unaired preliminary fights you've perhaps missed and so on, in return for them being able to send you e-mail updates (which can be unsubscribed from and usually aren't all that annoying).

Good deal. Now go grudgingly tell your loved ones that they're special and even though you know this holiday is hokey and artificial at times, it's still a great time to embrace togetherness - and apparently more mixed martial arts fights.

Edit: Have just learned that this may not work for those in Canada and possibly for those outside the United States. There was nothing readily apparent about geographic limitations and I hope it goes through for you if you attempt the process.
