Next month's UFC on Fox 7 card in San Jose will feature four fights live on network television, and as with the past several Fox events, three hours of prelims live on FX.
The UFC confirmed the three-hour FX broadcast this week, along with the six fights that will happen live on the network. Three lightweight fights take up half that broadcast, supporting the Lightweight Title bout in the night's main event, but fights at middleweight, featherweight, and flyweight will also be televised live.
Topping the preliminary card bout will be the featherweight bout between Chad Mendes and Darren Elkins, which came together on short notice when Mendes' original opponent, Clay Guida, pulled out of the event due to injury. Other feature bouts on the prelims will see flyweights Joseph Benavidez and Darren Uyenoyama square off, TUF vets Myles Jury and Ramsey Nijem square off, and Strikeforce imports Lorenz Larkin and Jorge Masvidal making their UFC debuts.
