August 31, 2011 All MMA News, UFC  Comments 

It appears the ante has been upped as far as the UFC on FOX main event in concerned, set to take place on November 12th in Anaheim, California, after it was revealed a UFC Primetime special will air on October 30th on the network promoting the fight.

From the official press release via TVbythenumbers:

On Sunday, Oct. 30, in anticipation of the UFC’s landmark live primetime FOX debut in November, FOX Sports offers UFC PRIMETIME, an intense, one-hour, behind-the-scenes look at the fighters’ preparation leading up to the Nov. 12 main event. FOX Sports recently announced a multi-year, multi-platform rights agreement that features programming on several FOX networks including FX and FUEL TV. Featured programming includes live fights, pre and post shows, countdown shows, and a variety of UFC-produced original programs.

The promotion is likely to have big plans for this major event, with rumours ongoing that middleweight champion Anderson Silva could defend his title against a host of top 185 pound talent. Will we see “The Spider” return to the octagon for a third time in 2011? Tell us what you think…
