Velasquez vs. dos Santos to headline UFC on FOX
The UFC wanted a premiere fight for its FOX television premiere and that is just what it has.
Dana White announced via conference all on Friday that Cain Velasquez will defend his UFC heavyweight championship against top contender, Junior dos Santos, on Nov. 12 to headline the show.
The fight was originally scheduled to take place on Nov. 19 as the headline of UFC 139 from San Jose, but will now take place at The Pond in Anaheim.
White also indicated that this is the only fight scheduled for the 1-hour FOX premiere and if the fight ends quickly, they will air undercard bouts that took place earlier in the night.
Velasquez hasn’t fought since winning the championship from Brock Lesnar last October. He is 9-0 in his career.
Dos Santos is 13-1 and coming off a dominant win over Shane Carwin at UFC 131 in June. He has clearly established himself as being the top contender for Velasquez.
While these two may not be the highest-profile of fighters to the outside MMA fan, this is an amazing fight to get on free television.
The UFC is hoping for fireworks for this bout to really draw in a big audience and take the UFC to a new level. Hopefully this fight does just that.
The new main event for UFC 139 has yet to be announced but White indicated that it was in the works.

I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to no data
backup. Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?

My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on various websites for about a year and
am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard
excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer
all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
