But Spike doesn't control all of the commercial time during TUF or the specials. Some of the time is sold by local cable companies. K-1 can buy ads during that. WWE & WCW both used that technique to advertise on each other's programming during the Monday Night wars. Spike likely won’t sell commercial time to K-1.

Seeing as Lesnar vs Angle will never be a better matchup than now (both available, popularity and health can only get worse) it absolutely makes sense for K-1 to shove cash at Angle. There are some issues of course: 1. New Years Day might be troublesome as a PPV broadcast time for the US 2. They only have a few months to promote. Would UFC/Spike or WWE allow ads on their shows? Doubtful... and that's right where the market is. Where else would they advertise for mainstream male audiences? NFL? NBA? MLB playoffs? Like they have that sort of cash.
