The intro for tomorrows UFC on FOX 3 main card will be the standard FOX sports intro, but the UFC put together a pay per view style intro that won’t be airing on FOX. Watch the intro below for all four main card bouts and make you to check out all the UFC on FOX 3 coverage on MMA Valor.
Still working out what will work best on network TV the UFC returns to FOX this Saturday with the UFC on FOX 3 from East Rutherford, New Jersey. The third installment on FOX has four main card bouts that should have a little bit of everything to showcase the sport and the UFC to new and old fans watching on network television.
The UFC will once again invade the homes of unsuspecting viewers as UFC on FOX 3 kicks off with a monster card. Our main event features long-time LW contender Jim Miller, as he takes on the not-fit-for-network-television Nate Diaz. We also have a Welterweight bout of epic proportions, as Josh Koscheck takes on the gritty Johny Hendricks in a clash of national wrestling champs on the MMA stage.
The talk amongst MMA fans, both hardcore and casual alike, not too long ago was of wanting to see current UFC Welterweight Champion move up to 185 and take on Anderson Silva in a Super-fight that any MMA fan would love to see.
Top welterweight Josh Koscheck will look to erase his unimpressive split decision performance at UFC 143 by getting back into the Octagon right away. Koscheck will get back into action on May 5th against Johny Hendricks, as part of the televised portion of the UFC on FOX 3 card from East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Nearly 70% (15 of 22) of the fighters on the UFC 143: Diaz vs. Condit card was issued medical suspensions today by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Of the 15 fighters to be suspended, seven of those could be out of action for up to six months. One of the seven fighters that avoided suspension was Nick Diaz who lost in the main event to Carlos Condit by Unanimous Decision.
What a night of fights Saturday’s UFC 143 was and while there were some close judge’s decisions and a few heartbroken fans, the night delivered. An interim welterweight champion was crowned, sparking a fan meltdown across the internet and the loser taking his ball and heading home. The night had a little bit of everything including an impressive debut, some odd calls from the referee and one bummed out UFC champion.
It didn’t take long after the judge’s scorecards were read for Saturday night’s UFC 143 main event for the new interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit to be asked what’s next. With Georges St. Pierre out of action tell probably the latter half of the year, Condit must now decide to defend the interim title or wait for GSP to recover. Should he choose to defend the belt there are a few options out there as well.
