I cant believe that just happened wtf I really had my jaw drop for about 3 minutes, fucking FOX ruining everything with just 1 fuckin fight, dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that shit was over quick, too quick
 
I was surprised to see it was only one hour and even more surprised to learn that they were only airing the one fight. Big thumbs down to Fox and UFC for this one.
 
was too short, cain must have really took a hit from taking all that time off from surgery ya know

Jr does have so heavy hands though, young guy too
 
they both are great fighters that can throw bombs but I wanted Cain to win
 
Then Dana is telling fans who complained about this show to "shut up". Screw you, Dana! This show was very poorly done and the bad fight was only the icing on the cake.
 
yeah Fox blows, it makes it shitty, and that was lame that Dana said that Ox, I was like no u shut up ya rich bastard
 
Yeah, I say put on a good show if you don't want people to complain. You hinge the whole show on one fight you run the risk of people being upset if it's a bad fight.
 
ANAHEIM, Calif. – Cain Velasquez vs. Junior Dos Santos was the shortest main-card in the UFC's history.

But if you're complaining about not getting to see more fights and you want a sympathetic ear in UFC president Dana White, you're not going to get one.

"For anybody to bitch about this fight, and they didn't get to see this fight…shut up," White said following UFC on FOX, which took place at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

FOX executives said this past week that future UFC broadcasts will feature two or three fights and likely be 90 minutes in length. But as anyone who's been living in what White calls the "bubble of MMA," the complaints come fast with any change to the program.

Most UFC events feature a four- or five-fight main-card. The preliminary card of UFC on FOX, which numbered nine fights, streamed live on Facebook and FOXSports.com. But, as White noted, Saturday's event took place under special circumstances.

"Our deal doesn't start until January," White said. "So this fight here, was what these guys wanted to kick this thing off as a welcome the UFC to FOX fight. This fight wasn't part of the deal. The deal is for seven years, so many fights on FOX.

"After we signed the deal, FOX said, 'Why don't we do this? Why don't we do a fight right away? Let's put a great fight on TV and let everybody know about the partnership."

In essence, the Nov. 12 event was a 64-second teaser for what's to come on FOX. And that's why White has no patience for critics.

"You should have bought tickets, then, if you want to see all the fights and you don't want to watch it on Facebook," he said. "Seriously, shut up. I don't even want to hear it."

As to how FOX executives feel about the blink-and-its-over main event, White isn't sure.

"I went straight from putting the belt on Junior, to the end of the show, to my room, to here, and I didn't talk to anybody yet," White told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com).

There will be plenty of talk among fans and critics about the impact of the quick fight on the casual viewing audience and whether it's a positive or negative for the sport's growth.

White, however, said the impact is not necessarily measured in the result of the fight but in the success of the UFC in reaching beyond its borders. That is, reaching beyond the legions of hardcore fans and armchair critics and finding the people who might not have considered the sport as something they'd like to watch.

All the promotion can do is set the stage.

"As soon as those fights start, whatever happens, happens," he said. "There's nothing you can do about that. We can't control the fights, and that's why I said, if this thing goes 25 seconds or 25 minutes, everybody knew it had the potential to be either."
 
I like Dana White, but he was stressing this and had to have fear of something going wrong otherwise he wouldn't have been so worried about it. So I think he's just pissed that it was that short and doesn't want to hear it since it's basically what he was fearing
 
I like Dana too in most cases, but I don't like his handling of this. And he's kind of screwing Fox by saying "you should have bought tickets".
 
Its hard to keep these fans happy anyways, if the fight went 5 rounds and to a decision ppl would be pissed too
