the UFC's debut on Fox will feature a single fight for the Heavyweight title

Posted by stewie (aka whysoserious) Sep 3 '11, 09:27

UFC president Dana White announced during a conference call today that a heavyweight championship bout between Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos will be the only bout on the promotion�s inaugural one-hout broadcast on Fox November 12.

The remainder of the show, which will be held at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, will feature a full 10-fight card, will likely be broadcast elsewhere according to White, who said they are ironing out those details now.

- So, UFC fired him from Strikeforce only to resign him? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 3, 10:27 1
  - the problem was he had 1 fight left on his Strikeforce deal and the Grand Prix final would have been 2 more fights - stewie Sep 3, 10:51
uhhhhhhh why not double up on fights like this and an Aldo fight - Will Hunting Sep 3, 09:32 5
- they couldn't have a title fight and another without pushing it to 2 hours - stewie Sep 3, 09:43 3
  - They'll probably do it like ppvs. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 3, 10:04
