The UFC on FOX card begins at 6 p.m. and will feature two fights. It will last one hour and be completed before the start of Pacquiao’s bout.

We’ll be out of there before Pacquiao even walks to the ring, Fertitta said. This is going to be a perfect night for any fight fan. Get together with your friends, watch two big fights in the UFC and then change the channel to ride into the Pacquiao pay-per-view.

It’s going to be a little different with the first one, Fertitta said. It’s going to literally be back-to-back action. We aren’t going to mess around with a lot of pre-fight commentary, post-fight commentary. We are going to roll right in, set up the fights and let the action go.

For the people coming live in Anaheim, it will be just like a full pay-per-view, Fertitta said. It’s a full fight card and if the first (televised fight) goes real quick, we’ll fill in like we always do.
