I was checking out the UFC's site and was looking at upcoming events. I got to this Fox card and the prelims are listed as Fox as well:

I am assuming this is confirmed but has anyone heard otherwise? That is pretty awesome if correct.

They're all on Fox ... FS1 has baseball on at the same time
Right on, that is excellent news. Thanks dude.
Pretty sure this is just poorly worded on the UFC website. I'm fully expecting the prelims to be on FS1.
I thought so as well but the other events on the site specify Fox Sports 1. I tried to check Fox's schedule for the day of the fight but it has not posted yet. I wouldn't expect it to be on Fox but maybe there is other live sports on FS1 and FS2 that is making them play it on Fox.
Is this not normal? In Canada both the prelims and main event are on Sportsnet.
No, in the USA there are multiple Fox channels. They spread the UFC fights over the multiple channels to increase viewership throughout. Usually the prelims are on Fox Sports 1. Occasionally, if a sports event is on FS1, they will put the prelims on Fx or FS 2.
