With this weeks huge news of the UFC’s move to Fox, the promotion isn’t wasting any time, as UFC officials have confirmed that Anaheim, California will play host to the UFC’s network debut on November 12th.
BJPenn.com has already detailed the first fight signed for the event, as featherweights Pablo Garza and Dustin Poirier will square off in an undercard fight. The main card will feature two fights that have yet to be announced, but the UFC is already in the process of putting together the main event.
The UFC is no stranger to Anaheim, as it was just October of last year when Cain Velazquez captured the UFC heavyweight title from Brock Lesnar at UFC 121. The city will once again be part of a pivotal event for the promotion, when it plays host for the UFC’s Fox debut this fall.

Josh Grispi and Dustin Poirier already fought at ufc 125. It’s Pablo Garza and Dustin Poirier. I’m thinking they might put up a heavywieght match up as main event. Frank Mir and Overeem would be nice, but thats more pay-per-view status.
