It's the only guaranteed fight shown on Fox but they will show other fights if possible. I think what they will do is show whichever fights are most entertaining of the ones that have happened before the Fox broadcast begins. So if there were a couple of one round finishes before the main event, they will probably show them. Remember the idea is to maximize ratings for the first ever network broadcast. They don't want to risk saying "we are going to show fight X" and then have that fight turn out to be boring. They have to do that with the main event, but it's pretty much guaranteed to be a great fight so there's not much risk there.

You have a talent for stating the obvious, :|

I think he was just trying to clarify, since
some guys were freaking out in this thread
thinking that this fight will be the only one shown no matter what. Maybe a little lengthy, but still necessary IMO.

I don't feel like taking the time to multiquote everything, but I counted 3 posts in here that thought there was literally only gonna be 1 fight. Maybe freaking out was a bit exaggerated.

Yep, mine and residency clarifying what Dana said, and what Junkie was posting. Neither of us, added our thoughts, only info.
Called it.
Great idea making it only 1 fight, that means they can pick the best & quickest undercard fights to have if JDS/Velasquez finishes.
This should get a huge audience, it doesn't matter who's fighting, in combat sports, generally heavyweight title fights are much more appealing than any other fight.
UNBELIEVABLE. The Biggest fight of the year! The two best HW's without question. I love Shogun/Bones, Anderson/Belfort, Diaz/GSP, Bones/Rampage but Cain Velasquez vs Junior Dos Santos is the biggest fight of the year for me. Cain is my favorite fighter but he's gonna have his hands full with JDS. Gonna have to be extremely careful, if Cain's chin holds up..he takes this fight. A 25min fight? gotta go with Cain. Best conditioned HW, maybe fighter in MMA. He's a beast, more well rounded than JDS, and Cain is gonna have to take JDS down and wear him out a bit before trading with him. Cain's got great head movement and good boxing..not as good as JDS but WOW...I can't wait!
JDS vs Velasquez
right before Pacquiao vs Marquez...on Mexican Independence Day? Gonna be big exposure hopefully Cain gets the win, not just for me, his fans but maybe even the sport. I like JDS a lot though too. It's gonna be crazy!
Is this the only fight on the televised card?
They should definitely add Ben Henderson vs Clay Guida and make it an hour in a half show. That has fight FOTY written all over it and will draw more newcomers as that fight goes on to get them ready for Velasquez/JDS. They should have a 3 part Primetime for JDS/Cain that should air on FOX leading up to the Event...not just one "PrimeTIme" Show.

Junkie is wrong. Dana said that it will be one fight and one fight only.

I'm starting to think Cain's cardio is overrated by everyone... buying into zuffa hype (countdown leading to lesnar vs cain?) or something. Because the guy fought one 3-rounds fight in his entire career, finishes almost everyone in the first, so what do we really Know about his cardio?
I'm sure that any professional fighter going into a 5-rounds fight, will be sparring 5-6-7 rounds in his gym against different spars, so it's hard to just buy someone from AKA (or joe rogan
) saying: "oh u know.. Cain is relentless and blablabla...".
JDS usually surprises his opponent in the 1st round (i think it is because they don't understand how hard he punches and how good his boxing is until they're in front of him), and then starts to slow down a bit. But i'm not sure if it is because he gets tired or if he is just fighting smart knowing he got the first round(s) in the bag.
What do u think? Do you all see this huge advantage for Cain in the cardio department? o.o

i've always wondered how good Cain's cardio really was.......i mean i am pretty sure its good but it was like the only thing they could hype him with. Before Nog he was considered "pillow hands" and then after that fight he took out brock.
i think his cardio was hyped up and looked so great because he never put much power into his punches before the Nog fight..........

In a long time? We have NEVER seen a title fight for free. We will see Cruz vs Mighty Mouse for free right before this as well.
This is pretty epic and should get HUGE ratings
