At a press conference held earlier today by Fox Broadcasting Company, the UFC announced a seven-year partnership with the media giant. According to the terms of the deal, the UFC will hold six events each year on FX, while another four events will be shown on FOX.
According to UFC president Dana White, the promotion will hold its first FOX-televised event on Nov. 12, 2011. With less than three months to prepare for the event, it will be a mad scramble for matchmaker Joe Silva to put together a card that will generate the interest of a mainstream audience.
