On December 8, UFC will take to the KeyArena in Downtown Seattle for UFC on FOX 5. With all the injuries of 2012, UFC fans will be in for a treat with the stacked FOX card.
Past UFC on FOX events had the prelims airing on FUEL TV, however this time around they will be airing on FX, which is the bigger of the FOX networks.
Originally the UFC had four fights on the FX portion of the prelims, but they have just added Mike Easton vs. Raphael Assuncao and Dennis Siver vs. Nam Phan to the preliminary broadcast.
Other bouts on the three hour FX broadcast include, Yves Edwards vs. Jeremy Stephens, Ramsey Nijem vs. Joe Proctor, Mike Chiesa vs. Marcus LeVesseur and the feature fight between Lavar Johnson and Brendan Schaub.
