Dana White made a huge announcement this morning about the UFC’s first network television headliner.
From USA Today:
The Ultimate Fighting Championship will introduce itself to Fox by putting the heavyweight belt on the line.
Cain Velasquez will make his first title defense Nov. 12 in a bout with Junior Dos Santos that will be the centerpiece of UFC's first show on the Fox network. The championship bout will be the only live fight of the one-hour broadcast, UFC announced Friday.
"This is like us getting Ali-Foreman," said David Hill, chairman of Fox Sports.
The event will take place in Anaheim, Calif., where Velasquez won the belt from Brock Lesnar in October 2010. Velasquez has not fought since that victory because of a partially torn rotator cuff.
Tickets go on sale Friday, Setpember 16th for UFC on FOX 1 in Anaheim. {From UFC Twitter}
