We’ve all heard the rumors but today at 1 PM ET we will finally be able to hear the details of the UFC deal/partnership with Fox. As we noted earlier this week, UFC and FOX have been finalizing a broadcast partnership and it could see up to four fight events on the Fox network and would move all of their weekly programming (read: The Ultimate Fighter) to FX.
We’ve already heard rumors that UFC President Dana White, Lorenzo Fertitta, UFC Welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre, UFC Lightweight champion Frankie Edgar, Rashad Evans on behalf of the organization. Representing FOX Sports Media Group will be Chairman and CEO David Hill, Co-Presidents and COO’s Randy Freer and Eric Shanks, and FX President John Landgraf.
