UFC on Fox: Velasquez vs. dos Santos (also known as UFC on Fox 1) was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on November 12, 2011 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.[2]

Background

This card marked the UFC's debut on the Fox Network. Zuffa CEO Lorenzo Fertitta confirmed that the debut show would be a one-hour special with only the main event airing live on television, but a full preliminary card taking place beforehand.[3][4]

Fox Deportes aired the Guida/Henderson, Poirer/Garza, Swanson/Lamas and Johnson/Harvison fights.[5]

The winner of the Clay Guida/Benson Henderson fight determined who was next to get a title shot against Frankie Edgar (the reigning champion at the time), at UFC 144 in Japan.[6]

The UFC on Fox main event broadcast marked the most-watched live hour ever for MMA in the United States and averaged 5.7 million viewers.[7] The ratings peaked in the United States at 8.8 million viewers for the main event.[8]
