PRELIMINARY CARD

I assume this show is going to sell out quickly.

 

[Ben]

Fox is plugging the hell out of this event already seen it mentioned at least 5 times during the NFL games today, really think there going to draw a huge rating for this.

Yea it's something I've been meaning to do, just haven't had a lot of time lately. I'll try to get some up for 136.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Hah, alright. Sounds good.

 

[Dale]

I hope Junior blasts the shit out of Cain.

 

[No More Sorrow]

I agree. I like Cain and everything but Dos Santos is a beast.

Since featherweight apparently wasn't the answer, "Bruce Leroy" is going to give bantamweight a go.

UFC officials today announced that "The Ultimate Fighter 12" cast member Alex Caceres (5-4 MMA, 0-2 UFC) will get a third chance at a first octagon win, as "Bruce Leroy" drops to 135 pounds to face Cole Escovedo (17-8 MMA, 0-2 UFC), who is also winless in two UFC appearances.

The pair now meets at UFC on FOX 1.

Featuring a heavyweight title fight between current champion Cain Velasquez and top contender Junior Dos Santos, UFC on FOX 1 takes place Nov. 12 in Anaheim, Calif. The evening's main event airs on FOX, but broadcast plans for the preliminary card have yet to be determined.

"Both bantamweights had non-stop action fights in their last outings and are sure to do the same Nov. 12," UFC president Dana White stated.

Caceres competed on "TUF 12" as a lightweight but was eliminated in the semifinals by eventual runner-up Michael Johnson. Caceres then dropped to 145 pounds for his official UFC debut, which came in a submission loss to Mackens Semerzier at UFC Fight Night 24.

Caceres returned at this past August's UFC on Versus 5, where he dropped a high-paced affair via submission to Jimmy Hettes.

Meanwhile, Escovedo overcame a severe staph infection that sidelined him for nearly three years to earn a 6-2 record on the regional scene. The mark was good enough to earn him a UFC 130 debut, where he lost a one-side unanimous decision to Brazilian prospect Renan Barao. Escovedo then returned at this past month's UFC 135 event, where he was defeated via second-round TKO by Takeya Mizugaki.

The bout is likely a must-win for both fighters.
