Seven years, one month and a couple days after Junior Dos Santos won the heavyweight title by knocking out Cain Velasquez at Honda Center in Anaheim, California in the first UFC fight ever broadcast on FOX, the organization makes one final stop to “Big FOX” this weekend.
Since that special event on November 12, 2011, the network has played host to a number of memorable contests and breakthrough performances, including a handful of title defenses, several top contenders delivering statement-making efforts and one bout that set the table for the biggest two-fight series in UFC history.
The FOX events also served as a jump off point and launching pad for the UFC careers of several elite competitors, including Daniel Cormier, Henry Cejudo, Joanna Jedrzejczyk, Valentina Shevchenko, Max Holloway and Robert Whittaker.
