After doing the second-biggest UFC numbers ever on the network last year, FOX confirmed the UFC is getting another Christmas Eve special.
The concept is similar to last year when the UFC ran the UFC 206 pay-per-view show, one of the most exciting shows of the year on FOX a few weeks after it took place.
The UFC was able to make a deal with its pay-per-view providers to allow a television broadcast of UFC 218, the Dec. 2 show of Detroit, which will air on FOX on Dec 24, a Sunday night, from 10 p.
