    Velasquez-Dos Santos will be lone fight on UFC on FOX 1, regardless of length
    by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Nov 02, 2011 at 2:35 pm ET
    If you want to see Clay Guida (29-11 MMA, 9-5 UFC) battle Ben Henderson (14-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) on Nov. 12, you better be next to a computer.

    While many MMA fans have openly hoped for a quick ending in that night's Cain Velasquez (9-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) vs. Junior Dos Santos (13-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) main event in order for Guida vs. Henderson to also air on the UFC on FOX broadcast, UFC president Dana White today said that's not going to happen.

    During a conference call to promote the event, which takes place in Anaheim, Calif., White said the featured bout will be the only fight on the broadcast, even if it "only goes 10 seconds."

    The UFC and FOX deal doesn't technically begin until 2012, and the Nov. 12 event is simply a one-hour teaser show. The evening's 10-bout undercard streams free on Facebook and FOX.com.

    White also revealed today that in addition to FOX in the U.S., the Velasquez vs. Dos Santos fight will also air live in 15 additional countries, including Canada and the U.K.

    MAIN CARD (FOX)
    Champ Cain Velasquez vs. Junior Dos Santos (for heavyweight title)
    PRELIMINARY CARD (Facebook and FOX.com)
    Clay Guida vs. Ben Henderson
    Pablo Garza vs. Dustin Poirier
    Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto vs. Darren Uyenoyama
    Ricardo Lamas vs. Cub Swanson
    Clay Harvsion vs. DaMarques Johnson
    Robert Peralta vs. Mackens Semerzier
    Paul Bradley vs. Mike Pierce
    Matt Lucas vs. Aaron Rosa
    Alex Caceres vs. Cole Escovedo


    :lol::lol::patsch

    And Dana complains about boxing cards. Well at least boxing doesn't have ONE fight cards.

    Jesus Christ. You guys are really taking the Zuffa/Dana White hate over the top. This ain't exactly been a secret. They've said since the beginning that the only guaranteed live fight to air would be Cain/Junior. This fight is essentially a UFC on Fox teaser. Their broadcast agreement doesn't formally start until the beginning of next year, so they're using it to introduce the network audience to their product. They are also paying deference to the Pac/Marquez card that's airing the same night.

    They're airing a highly anticipated HW title fight free on network TV, and people are still bitching about it? Whatever.

    The first of many UFC on FOX cards. maybe they were worried Clay Guida might stink up the joint in the undercard?

    HBO Boxing has aired one fight cards that were letdowns, and provided half the entertainment and buzz that Brown Pride/JDS will display.. On a premium channel no less, this is PRIME TIME BABY!!

    I'm just glad I don't need a facebook to see the undercard this time.. Looking forward to Yamamoto :thumbsup

    Not cards of this significance. Granted im splitting hairs but can you imagine the heat a boxing card would get if a marquee bout was out on and only two heavys headlined?

    Wow, people will look for anything to whine about.

    Sure, they're giving us what is probably the second most anticipated heavyweight fight in the history of the sport for free, but its the only one the greedy selfish arseholes are giving us on tv, the other ones are free and easily accessible, but only if we have a semi decent internet connection. How dare they.

    We still get to see possibly the best Most Talented Heavyweight Fight in the short history of the sport for free! This fight is going to be insane! JDS by TKO is by pick!

    What like David Haye vs Wlad Klitschko on HBO? Or Devon Alexander vs Timothy Bradley?

    Except David Haye Klit had an undercard that was on TV because i watched it. And i would hardly call Bradley Alexander a match of the significance of Cain JDS or Haye Klit. That's a marquee fight. Alexander Bradley was/is not.
