– On UFC Tonight Wednesday, it was announced that the annual December big FOX show (originally set for 12/12) has been moved back one week to 12/19 at the Amway Arena in Orlando, FL. The reason for the change was the booking of the Conor McGregor/Jose Aldo featherweight unification fight for Saturday, 12/12 in Las Vegas.

– Ariel Helwani reported on the show that Fabricio Werdum’s first heavyweight title defense will be against former champion Cain Velasquez. The date of the fight has not been confirmed.
