Two fights from Friday's UFC on FX 3 card will kick off the night on Facebook.

The online stream precedes the night's FX-televised main card and FUEL TV-televised preliminary card, MMAjunkie.com confirmed with UFC officials.

The two bouts chosen for the one-hour stream include welterweights Sean Pierson vs. Jake Hecht and lightweights Bernardo Magalhaes vs. Henry Martinez.

Seth Baczynski can thank Brad Tavares for his current run at welterweight.

After losing a first bout to the Hawaiian fighter by disqualification on "The Ultimate Fighter 11" and getting smothered in a rematch at the conclusion of the reality show, Baczynski thought about hanging it up.

"I didn't want to be one of those guys bouncing around on the small shows for a paycheck," Baczynski told MMAjunkie.com Radio.
