Velasquez: UFC made up for loss of PPV revenue for Fox fight

When did they first approach you about it?

They told me about it last night and wanted to know if I was OK with it. It’s a great opportunity.

How do you make up for the loss of pay-per-view income? Or did UFC tell you they’ll take care of that?

They took care of it. They’re telling us we’re going to make so much out of it. It’s all working out, so we’re happy.

How do you think you’ll be able to take advantage of the greater exposure?

Pretty much for sponsorships later on. For having that big exposure, people recognize you more. With that comes bigger sponsorships, so hopefully that comes from that fight.
