BJ Penn vs. Diego Sanchez On Network TV In November?

UFC LW Champ BJ Penn

Via MMAWeekly:

UFC president Dana White on Thursday said a third UFC event was in the works for November, featuring a headlining bout between lightweight champion B.J. Penn and Diego Sanchez.

What may really peak interest is that he said the event was neither a pay-per-view nor a Spike televised affair, lending credence to strong speculation of a long coveted network television deal.

"Wait and see boys... if I can pull this one off," he said.

If it's not a PPV event, and it's not on Spike TV then where else could the event air?  it's not going to air on ESPN, so that leaves a couple of other options I suppose.  Give me your thoughts.  By the way, November is going to be one of the most awesome months in MMA history even if this doesn't air on network tv.

Thanks for posting

I don’t see where an event being streamed on the internet is such a big deal though…White is trying hurt Showtime apparently…and doing so wouldn’t accomplish that…However, having a UFC event on a tv channel with a large audience would.
