UFC on FOX: How to watch, latest fight card and every other detail you must know
Last night (Sat., Nov. 5, 2011), Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) made history with its first ever non-title, five-round main event between Chris Leben vs. Mark Munoz at UFC 138 in Birmingham, England.
The event nearly closed the books on the promotion's (live event) deal with Spike TV -- all that remains is The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 14 Finale on Dec. 3, 2011. UFC 138 also broke the "paid attendance" record for any kind of event at Birmingham's LG Arena.
But, the high-rolling Zuffa contingent isn't done setting precedents and breaking records. Not even close.
UFC will put on its first-ever show on FOX this upcoming Saturday (Nov. 12, 2011) at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., with a card that features the heavyweight clash between current division champion Cain Velasquez and number one contender Junior dos Santos.
The show is the first of many to come and should give mixed martial arts (MMA) -- new, old and still on the fence -- a taste of what is to come.
After the jump, we'll talk about the UFC on Fox 1 full fight card, how you can catch all of the action, as well as all the other pertinent information about this ground-breaking event.
Here's the complete schedule for UFC on Fox 1, as well as all the programming related to the event and how and when you can watch it:

It’s not on in Australia in the least so it wouldn’t surprise me for it not to be on in the UK either.
So I’m watching it on UFC.TV instead, the main fight is 10 American dollars.
I don’t know what the fuck is going on to be honest. They make all of this hubbub about having a deal with Fuel and FX then they haven’t bothered to show two events in the recent past, no prelims anymore and not even the supposed biggest fight in the sports history.
Ridiculous.
Foxsports.com gonna have the fights too if u dnt have an fb or even want one

why is fox Desportes allowed to air Bendo Guida and the other main card bouts?
Why can’t they show it on fx or fuel. I thought they couldn’t show the main card because of the Spike deal.
