The saying anything can happen is often used in sports for obvious reasons, but when a fight ends in such a fashion as the main event did tonight it still shocks us. Whether or not you thought Junior Dos Santos would walk out of the Octagon with the UFC heavyweight belt, you didn’t see it coming like it did tonight on network television.
All fighters made weight at today’s weigh-ins before tomorrow’s historic UFC on FOX network television debut. In front of what looked like a packed house all 20 fighters stepped onto the scale, many looking pissed off from cutting weight.
Saturday’s UFC on FOX will see a completely different format then the typical. The promotions network debut will only air the heavyweight championship main event during the slotted hour on Fox. The remaining nine fights will still be televised via stream on the UFC Facebook fan page and also on Foxsports.com.
It’s nice to have a few free events in a row to build up the bankroll and while the format is a bit odd, we get another outstanding event for UFC on Fox 1. Title fights are always worth a wager, and this bout between Velasquez and JDS will anchor your entire fight card, so let’s dig into my comparison betting odds and valid props for this event.
