When did ESPN start airing UFC?
Did their contract with Fox run out? Or is this a part of that 'mini-merger' that took place some months back where some Fox and ESPN affiliates were being overseen by Disney?
Anyway - Velasquez is fighting tonight on free (cable - well not exactly 'free') TV.
This is nice to see just like boxing how ESPN has aired Pacquiao for free at times and they're not putting it as fight on a PPV card.
I get Velasquez hasn't been around all that much - but at least it's a 'name' that may bring some viewers in.
Anyone tuning in? |

Pretty sure the UFC/FOX relationship ended when FOX worked out a big deal with WWE to put Smackdown on FOX. I think ESPN stepped in afterwards and signed a deal with UFC.
In terms of am I tuning in? Nah. If it were 5 years ago maybe. I'll tune in to some big UFC events here and there these days. Cain fighting doesnt really trigger my interest unless he was fighting someone I was interested in. Cain alone doesnt sell a fight for me.

Cain alone doesnt sell a fight for me. guy he's fighting looks like a beast. any good? says he's 12-3. did he whip up on tomato cans? doesn't velasquez have a similar record though (i'm thinking against much stiffer competition)?  |

Asking the wrong person. I have no clue who his opponent is.
