Dana said the title fight would be the only fight on the main card. But, this fight has all the potential to end early. What happens then? Stream the prelims?

There should be less complaints about "only 2 fights" being broadcast now. Thanks Uncle Dana.
EDIT: Posted this before reading the article, I guess there's only 1 fight guaranteed. You know what assuming does...

This will be the only fight. If it ends early, they'll do like they always do...use filler from the prelims and, of course, the obligatory awkward interview between Rogan and Dana.

Apparently both fighters were offered some major $$$ to fight for the FOX event.

I think I have the fight going to a decision. So that could eat up most of this hour.

According to Dana, a lot of the time will be spent educating those who've never seen an MMA fight. They need to know what they're watching.

Eric Shanks answered the question. Said they would either show a full replay of one of the prelims or "highlights" from the whole undercard.

I LOVE the idea of showing prelim highlights.

Agreed. Show the new folk all of the good stuff. Suck 'em in and then let 'em discover lay 'n pray once they're already hooked.
