The UFC is headed to Fox, and announced that they will be hosting several shows on the network. Zuffa will still be in charge with most of the production, but with Fox hosting both pre-fight and post-fight shows to these events, people have been wondering which of the guys from the network will be tasked for hosting these.

Karyn Bryant of MMA HEAT got the answer from FOX Co-COO, Eric Shanks. He says while things aren't final yet, they're already interested in putting in former Showtime sportscaster, Gus Johnson:

Pre, and Post-fight, we will have big desks set up with probably more Fox talent. Jay (Glazer)... and Gus Johnson, who is now a huge fight fan, and does a lot of MMA.

So Gus' schedule permitting, and having conversations with him as to when he would be available, I think we would love to have both those guys on.

​
Gus Johnson, who is more popular, (or criticized) by MMA fans during his time with CBS, Showtime, and Strikeforce, has been released by CBS back in May, has been calling college football and NFL for Fox Sports.
