...OH, ONE MORE THING - PLEASE BOOKMARK US & VISIT DAILY!
The preliminary card for the UFC's debut on Fox will not have a television outlet, but UFC President Dana White revealed on Thursday that the nine fights scheduled prior to the UFC Heavyweight Championship bout between Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos will stream live on Facebook and Fox.com. MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani posted the revelation on Twitter following the UFC 137 pre-fight press conference.
It's certainly disappointing that a potential number one contender bout between Ben Henderson and Clay Guida won't be guaranteed to air on television, but the addition of Fox.com as a streaming location could open it up to more people than Facebook. Especially if Fox promotes the stream on television as the lead in to the hour long broadcast from Anaheim later that night.
