Leading up to the new year, there’s one UFC event that soars above all others.
UFC on FOX 2.
Now while UFC 144 in Japan seems ready to capitalize the MMA world on numerous international levels, the next installment of Dana White‘s seven-year deal with FOX still proves more worthy than the rest.
Not only will the event feature three main fights compared to the sole heavyweight championship bout between Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez at UFC on FOX 1, which lasted only minutes, but the nationally broadcast card will showcase two No. 1 contender bouts.
One being Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis in the light heavyweight division, and the other being Chael Sonnen vs. Mark Munoz in the middleweight division.
The Octagon ability by all four fighters makes this event unique, but it’s the future championship implications that make it special. The winner of each fight will ultimately get the chance to take on one of the most dominate pound-for-pound fighters in the world, in their respective divisions. Anderson Silva and Jon Jones.
With that said, on top of this explosive card coming at no charge for well-deserving fans, here are 10 reasons why UFC on FOX 2 will be the best event of 2012.
