UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez will defend his title against Junior dos Santos on network television.

UFC President Dana White announced on Friday that Velasquez vs. dos Santos will be the main event for the first UFC on Fox event, on November 12 in Anaheim, California.

"We deliver -- we deliver to the fans and we deliver to the partners and in my opinion we're delivering again," White said. "We're going with the most prestigious championship in all of sports -- the heavyweight title."

Velasquez vs. dos Santos had previously been scheduled to take place on November 19, as the main event of the UFC 139 pay-per-view event in San Jose. But the UFC wanted to hit a home run with its first Fox fight, and so it decided to take the heavyweight title bout off pay-per-view and onto network television.
