As usual the UFC held their conference call leading up to an event. Today was no different, with a media conference call for UFC on Fox 1. The call featured UFC President Dana White as well as the headlining fighters, Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos.
Earlier today Dana White, UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos made their way to Los Angeles, California for the UFC on Fox: Velasquez vs. JDS Press Conference. The press conference was held at the West Hollywood Hotel in Hollywood, California.
Dana White sounded just like a kid on Christmas morning as he announced the UFC's debut fight on the Fox network. The one hour prime time special will feature just one fight, a heavyweight title match-up between Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos. The fight itself is almost certain to be a barn-burner; and while that will certainly add to White's happiness it's clear the UFC President has his eyes on something bigger than just a heavyweight title fight: mainstream acceptance.
“We are going with the most prestigious championship in all of sports, the heavyweight title. So on November 12 at the Anaheim Honda Center, the UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez will take on the No. 1 contender Junior Dos Santos on the number one network in America, Fox.”
In an impromptu media conference call on Friday, Dana White announced the main event of the first even UFC on Fox card. The announcement came at approximately 10:05am/1:05pm and the main event is... Cain Velasquez vs Junior Dos Santos
