When the UFC announced its multi-year deal with FOX last month, they sent the MMA world buzzing about the magnitude of how many more eyes will be able to now see this sport.
Then came the announcement of the first fight event on FOX: Cain Velasquez vs. Junior Dos Santos for the UFC Heavyweight Championship.
Originally this fight was not set to take place until late November, but when the opportunity arose, both fighters jumped at the chance to be seen by such a wide audience.
If you are new to the sport, or are still holding on to the antiquated idea that Mixed Martial Arts is “Human Cockfighting,” grow up, listen up, and allow Bleacher Report MMA to give you a few reasons why you can’t afford to miss out on this milestone event.
