New details about the UFC’s extraordinarily-anticipated Fox debut have been revealed.
According to LasVegasSun.com, the UFC’s network TV debut will feature only two fights on the live televised program.
The main card will start at 6 in the evening, will run until 7 pm, and will be over before Manny Pacquiao’s fight versus Juan Manuel Marquez even starts.
According to UFC CEO Lorenzo Ferttita,
“It’s going to be a little different with the first one, it’s going to literally be back-to-back action. We aren’t going to mess around with a lot of pre-fight commentary, post-fight commentary. We are going to roll right in, set up the fights and let the action go.”
He added that, per usual, should the first televised fight go quickly, they will fill in “as they always do.”
Lorenzo made sure to assure fans the fights would be “big and relevant.”
It is being rumored that Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir could complete their trilogy in the main event, which would definitely bring in droves of people anticipating the return of one of the biggest names in the sport.
Dana White indicated however that Brock Lesnar’s return will not come until next year.
The event will take place November 12 and is expected to take place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA.
