UFC President Dana White recently made it clear that the upcoming UFC on FOX special will be restricted to a single fight–the main-event battle between Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos.<\/p>\n
White went as far as to say that even if the fight ends early in the first round, there are still no plans to air any of the preliminary bouts on FOX.<\/p>\n
Fans will, however, have an option for watching some of the key prelims, including a presumed-number one contendership match between lightweights Ben Henderson and Clay Guida and Dustin Poirer vs. Pablo Garza. FOX announced in a press release Thursday that FOX Deportes will carry prelims from 7-9PM ET on the night of the 9PM FOX special.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, the prelim special will run head-to-head with Fuel TV’s pre-fight special, featuring Jay Glazer, Kenny Florian and Stephan Bonnar hyping the main-event. Nicole Dabeau will correspond from the red carpet, while former and current champions like Frank Mir, Forrest Griffin, Chuck Liddell and Jon Jones will engage in a roundtable to hype Velasquez vs. dos Santos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
