UFC is coming out guns-a-blazing for its network television debut Nov. 12. Dana White announced today that the UFC's heavyweight title fight between Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos tentatively planned for UFC 139 on Nov. 19 will be moved to the UFC on FOX card.
In a unique twist, the FOX show will be just one hour long and feature one five-round fight. White said part of the show will be used to introduce the sport to the new viewers. If the fight turns out to be a quick victory for either fighter, Eric Shanks from FOX confirmed that the broadcast may show a replay of an earlier fight to fill the back end of the time slot.
The show at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Ca. will feature a full fight card for the ticket buyers in attendance. The rest of the card will be televised somewhere.
Shanks said there will a Super Bowl-style red carpet celebration in Anaheim before the fight.
White said the goal is to blow away the EliteXC/CBS debut of Kimbo Slice on network television. The card did a peak of six million viewers. David Hill said he wouldn't predict numbers, but he'd put a few bucks on the over.
