Read MoreWith UFC on Fox 2 on deck, UFC on Fox 3 taking shape on same night as proposed Floyd Mayweather fight
The Fox/UFC deal is moving ahead full bore.
Heavy promotion for this weekend’s second network TV card is underway, a cool new commercial with Jon Jones debuted over the weekend and last night, Dana White confirmed fights for the next MMA appearance on Fox.
That May date is interesting because it’s the same night Floyd Mayweather is planning on fighting on pay-per-view in Las Vegas.
Mayweather got out of his 90-day jail sentence by saying he had a contracted fight for May 5. He has to fight that night or he violates the terms of his agreement. Mayweather is now due to check into the Clark County Detention Center on June 1.
Before anyone starts asking why the UFC is competing with a huge boxing PPV, the MMA card starts much earlier and ends before the Mayweather tilt would begin at roughly 11:30 p.m. ET. It serves as a great fight night for combat sports fans.
Miller gets to fight in his backyard in East Rutherford, N.J. He grew up in nearby Sparta.
From a contender standpoint Diaz, is an obvious choice. From a promotional standpoint, he presents a challenge. He’s nowhere near as truculant as his brother Nick, but it’s been established Nate isn’t exactly fond doing tons of media work either. It should be interesting to follow how the 26-year-old handles some of the extra duties that come with fighting on network television.
The UFC’s recent visits to the Garden State were at The Prudential Center. It appears nothing is currently scheduled at “The Rock” on on that Saturday night. It is a busy week though with Bruce Springsteen playing the arena on Tuesday and Friday night nouses The Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The card will also include the UFC mini-tournament in the new 125-pound weight class. John Dodson will face Darren Uyenoyama.
