UFC on FOX comes to a head this weekend as the organization prepares for arguably its most pivotal venture to date. It’s a crowning achievement for the company as a whole, making its formal debut this Saturday as top contender Junior dos Santos fights champion Cain Velasquez in a heavyweight affair live on FOX.
It’s the first venture of many that the UFC plans to bring to FOX over the next several years, while additional programming will be featured on FOX’s subsidiary networks in FX and Fuel TV, among others.
Leading into the monumental event, UFC president Dana White brings another video blog, this time detailing events of the past. The organization recently wrapped up two pivotal events, where in October Nick Diaz bested BJ Penn to become the new No. 1 contender to the welterweight title after a “Fight of the Night”-worthy performance.
Next, the UFC traveled back to Birmingham, England where UFC 138 was afoot, where Mark Munoz bested perennial contender Chris Leben en route to a second-round TKO finish, making him one of the visible top contenders to Anderson Silva‘s coveted middleweight title.
White takes us behind the scenes for all the action and gives us a look into the pre-fight presser leading up to this Saturday’s pivotal heavyweight affair.
