After doing the second-biggest UFC numbers ever on the network last year, FOX Sports 1 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 Sports 1 on Dec 24, a Sunday night, from 10 p.
