Fox fight date for Nov 12, assume they are going to try for a grand slam, couple this news with Lesnar claiming he is 100% healthy, Im thinking him vs Mir III as the main event.
Thoughts?

It's going to be a fine line that they come across soon. Fox will want big fights and the UFC will have to keep them happy without sacrificing their top PPV stars. Mir vs. Lesnar is probably the UFC's biggest PPV fight they can put on now but I can't see Dana throwing that on TV. This is huge task for the UFC to balance free TV with PPV
Think the next UFC on Versus card. A nice title fight that will build the fighters but would do terrible as a PPV main event. Maybe they will use Fox to build the younger fighters so the public can get used to them, ie Rory MacDonald
Agree to a certain extent, thinking they will want to make a big impression for the first event too. What better way than to hype it up even further during all the football games and baseball playoffs, I can see the promos now. Plus competing against Pac-Man better be a big one otherwise it will be a letdown to a degree.
Edit: Just read Lesnar most likely not back until 2012. So much for my theory. Strike one. Next up Henderson versus Machida.
IMO this is perfect timing. The UFC has some GREAT young talent that are exciting to watch. Bones, Rory and then you throw in some Aldo leg kicks and you'll have some mouths dropped at the talent.
My bet is Overeem vs Mir or someone else(Fedor) for the first big fight.
