The Ultimate Fighting Championship has a new home on television – at least for one night.
MMAjunkie.com has learned that Ion Television has secured the rights to broadcast preliminary bouts from the forthcoming “UFC 125: Resolution” event.
And while UFC fans are now used to a pair of octagon clashes during most “UFC Prelims” broadcasts, UFC president Dana White told MMAjunkie.com he’s upping the ante for New Year’s Day.
“The prelims we do air, there’s only supposed to be two,” White said. “Time-wise, it’s impossible to pull off three if they all go to the distance. I’m going to roll the dice on this thing.
“Not only are we going to bring the prelims to the fans, but everybody has been hammering me for the Phil Baroni-Brad Tavares fight, so I’m going to do three fights. I’m going to give them that fight, too.”
