A Super Bowl-caliber card for the UFC on FOX has to be massive.
The news broke last month that FOX wanted to put an event on right before Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014.
The event would have to provide fans with not only exciting matchups, but it has to give them title fights that create a buzz in the MMA community. The buzz has to be so large that it gets casual fans interested, and then the ratings should skyrocket.
So if the UFC lined up a card on FOX right before the Super Bowl, the UFC would need to try to top the UFC on FOX 5 card it just showcased. Easier said than done.
So in a hypothetical situation, allow me to play matchmaker Joe Silva and put together a card worthy to take place on network television during Super Bowl weekend. This is what that main card would look like.
