Above is the full audio for Friday's UFC on Fox conference call, split into three different sections. On the call UFC President Dana White announced the promotion's long-awaited heavyweight championship bout -- Cain Velasquez vs. Junior dos Santos -- has been tabbed as the sole televised fight for the UFC's November 12th debut on Fox. The match was originally intended to headline UFC 139 just seven days later, however both fighters have agreed to move up the date.
If the title bout ends before the conclusion of the broadcast's allotted hour -- which, knowing these two fighters, is quite likely -- the UFC will either televise previous matches from the night's card or a "best of the night" fight feature. Regardless, an entire fleshed-out card will take place for fans in attendance. White also emphasized that the UFC is taking measures to ensure there is a way for all fans to see the non-televised action.
UFC on Fox is slated to be held at the Dodge Center in Anaheim, California. Tickets will officially go on sale Friday, September 9th.
