LAS VEGAS – The UFC’s 10-year run of Super Bowl weekend pay-per-view cards in its home city of Las Vegas apparently will come to an end this winter. The promotion will touch down at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., for a show on Feb. 1, 2014. Super Bowl XLVIII takes place the following day at MetLife Stadium in nearby East Rutherford. The announcement came as part of a FOX Sports 1 promotional video following a question-and-answer session with FOX analyst Jay Glazer at the UFC Fan Expo in Las Vegas. UFC officials could not immediately confirm to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) a working event number for the card. The video teased several major sports events for the new FOX Sports 1 cable network that will take place during the week leading up to the Super Bowl, including a college basketball invitational at New York’s Madison Square Garden, a Golden Boy boxing event at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and, as the voiceover said, “Saturday night in primetime, it’s the main event – the UFC live from the Prudential Center, all leading to Super Bowl XLVIII from MetLife Stadium, live on FOX.” Although specific broadcast plans for the card were not announced, the event is likely to be a pay-per-view with prelims on FOX Sports 1 leading into the main card. Assuming a pay-per-view, it could wind up being UFC 169
