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.
Today is the day the world of MMA will change forever. The UFC is finally coming to network television. This landmark deal will span seven years and is estimated at $100 million. The UFC on Fox debut is set for November 12 at The Honda Center in Anaheim, California and will feature the UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez squaring off against number one contender Junior Dos Santos.
The preliminary pay-per-view buyrate reports have come in for UFC 136, and they aren't pretty. Early reports place the number at around 250,000 buys, which continues the trend of lower numbers throughout 2011 and begs the question, has the interest in UFC peaked?
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
