On Friday, UFC president Dana White ended weeks of speculation by
dropping a bombshell: the UFC’s first-ever event on FOX will feature a
heavyweight title fight.
And while the Cain Velasquez vs. Junior Dos Santos fight appears on
paper to be a can’t-miss contest, White contends that’s far from the
truth.
He has faith in his fighters, to be sure, but he realizes there are
always risks involved in a live event. And with the UFC set for its network-television debut, White said he’s making the ultimate gamble and banking
that the two heavyweights will deliver the goods.
