Smartest Guy at the Bar: UFC on Fox 17 Edition

Once a season, the Ultimate Fighting Championship visits “Big Fox” -- the prized platform the UFC acquired when it signed with the Fox family of networks in 2011. The Octagon makes its biggest splash on Fox during football season, pulling some mainstream NFL viewers into the UFC’s happenings. Lightweight has been a prominent weight class on Fox, so it seems fitting that the last UFC event on the network in 2015 features the third 155-pound title bout to hit the channel. Bud Light-drinking, Bud Light-sponsored American contender Donald Cerrone looks to avenge his most recent defeat by toppling lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos in the UFC on Fox 17 main event on Saturday at the Amway Center in Orlando, Fla.
