UFC On Fox: Velasquez Vs. Dos Santos TV Schedule

The UFC is pulling out all the stops for its premier event of the year. Tonight MMA will make its debut on network television as the UFC airs its first card on Fox.

The UFC did its part by putting its biggest (literally) fight on to show the world. Fox has now stepped up its cause, as an unprecedented amount of coverage will be centered around this event.

Eight continuous hours of MMA programming will fill Fox properties today. The coverage begins at 1:00 p.m. Arizona time as Fox Deportes wil air "Cain Velasquez: Brown Pride" (Parts 1, 2, and 3).

FUEL TV picks up the action at 5:00 p.m. with a two-hour live pre-fight special hosted by Jay Glazer along with UFC lightweight Kenny Florian. UFC light heavyweight Stephen Bonner will be reporting backstage and interviewing fighters. FUEL TV will also host a "champions roundtable" featuring current UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones. Former UFC light heavyweight champions Chuck Liddell and Forrest Griffin will also be featured.

Fox Sports Radio will have five hours of live fight coverage, beginning at 6:00 p.m. with a one hour pre-fight show. Fox Sports Radio will host a simulcast of the fight and then three hours of post fight coverage including a call-in show with host Larry Pepe.
