G DNov 6, 2011

The Ultimate Fighting Championship is just days away from arguably the biggest event in the history of the organization.

On November 12th, 2011, the UFC will make its broadcasting television debut on the FOX Network.

UFC on FOX 1 will take place in Anaheim, California in front of a sold-out Honda Center.

The main card will be headlined around current UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez who will look to successfully defend his title against his toughest opponent to date, Junior Dos Santos.

And, as usual, there will be a great deal of celebrities on hand showing their support for the sport of mixed martial arts.

However, there are a few celebrities we'd like to see sitting cageside when actions begins on November 12th.

So, the following slides display the 25 celebrities we'd like to see at UFC on FOX 1.

Let's take a look.

Alex Rodriguez

1 of 25

Alex Rodriguez showed his support for the UFC when he was in attendance to see Nick Diaz and BJ Penn square off at UFC 137.

It wasn't the first time fans have seen "A-Rod" at a live event as he is an avid mixed martial arts fans.

The former MLB Most Valuable Player is certainly a face we'd like to see in Anaheim, California.

Shaq

2 of 25

You know an organization is doing something right if one of their biggest fans is Shaquille O'Neil.

The former NBA champion has been at several past events showing his support for the UFC and his favorite fighters.

Shaq has even been seen inside the Octagon as an amateur fighter.

Ice-T and Coco

3 of 25

Also in attendance at UFC 137 were Ice-T and Coco.

Ice-T—a jack of all trades between selling records, Law and Order and writing books—has been recognized as a huge mixed martial arts fans.

Chances are UFC 137 isn't the last time we'll see Ice-T and Coco at an event.

Mandy Moore

4 of 25

No one's really sure how long Mandy Moore's been a mixed martial arts fan, but, she has been seen rocking her gear in public.

And, Moore weighed in when she gave her predictions for UFC on FOX 1.

Moore took Velasquez in a knockout victory over Dos Santos.

Justin Bieber

5 of 25

Justin Bieber, the face of today's music, has already been spotted at UFC 113 and UFC 132.

Bieber has also been seen hanging out with UFC president Dana White as well as other fighters in Chuck Liddell and Phil Davis.

UFC on FOX would love to see Bieber in attendance on November 12th.

Kevin James

6 of 25

Kevin James has recently been recognized for an interest in the sport of mixed martial arts as he will star as a fighter in an upcoming film.

James, who's been seen with UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture, is an avid fan of the UFC.

The hilarious actor has also been spotted with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and former UFC fighter Kimbo Slice.

Charles Barkley

7 of 25

Charles Barkley may be a "knucklehead" but he's also one of the biggest mixed martial arts fans known to mankind.

Barkley was on hand for UFC 136 in Houston and apparently liked what he saw.

Following the fight, Barkley stated how much he enjoyed watching lightweight champion Frankie Edgar.

Well, the former NBA All-Star can see some fighters his own size when Velasquez and Dos Santos square off at UFC on FOX.

Chad Ochocinco

8 of 25

Chad Ochocinco has been connected with the sport of mixed martial arts ever since he called out current middleweight champion Anderson Silva.

Ochocinco stated he'd like to square off with Silva inside the Octagon, seemingly forgetting that Silva is arguably the greatest fighter of all time.

UFC president Dana White challenged Ochocinco to follow through with his words.

And, while Silva may not be in attendance on November 14th, it'd still be nice to see the man of many words. 

James Toney

9 of 25

James Toney, a former professional boxer, entered the Octagon with UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture at UFC 118 in August of 2010.

Toney didn't last too long as he was submitted in the very first round of action.

Toney apparently hasn't had enough as he will be taking on "The World's Most Dangerous Man" in Ken Shamrock later this year.

However, UFC on FOX would welcome Toney with open arms for a ringside seat on November 12th.

David Spade

10 of 25

While David Spade may be one of the funniest actors of all time, he's also one of mixed martial arts' biggest fans.

Spade has been seen plenty of times at live UFC events and it's likely we'll see him again soon.

Why not UFC on FOX 1?

Snoop Dogg

11 of 25

Snoop Dogg hit the mixed martial arts scene when he won a bet with the UFC's head honcho, Dana White.

Snoop Dogg, who won a whooping $20,000, was also recently recognized for inviting UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva to hang out.

Well, we'd like to see Snoop Dogg cageside when action begins on November 12th.

Paris Hilton

12 of 25

Believe it or not, Paris Hilton is actually a huge fan of mixed martial arts.

In fact, Hilton has been seen training in the sport as well as attending UFC 114 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Hilton has been spotted with other celebrity stars such as David Spade and former boxer Mike Tyson.

Glen Davis

13 of 25

Let's be honest, Glen Davis looks exactly as his nickname describes—a "Big Baby."

But, surprisingly enough, Davis has been training in the sport of mixed martial arts over the past several years.

While we haven't spotted Davis at a UFC fight just yet, UFC on FOX 1 could be a good starting spot.

Jason Statham

14 of 25

Jason Statham has been seen on numerous occasions with famous mixed martial artists such as current UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre.

But, it was Statham's comments that have truly demonstrated his love for the sport.

Statham was quoted as stating "They're the ultimate athlete. They just have so much concentration and mental strength. They overcome their fears and they're the true gladiators."

We'd love to have Statham cageside for Velasquez vs. Dos Santos in Anaheim, California.

Mike Tyson

15 of 25

Mike Tyson is a man of many words.

And, while we can't always understand them, we can understand why he is one of the biggest fans of mixed martial arts.

A former world-class boxer, Tyson has been spotted at previous events and hanging out with current fighters like Vitor Belfort.

Well, we'd also love for Tyson to come hangout at UFC on FOX 1.

Michael Clarke Duncan

16 of 25

Despite being 53 years old, Michael Clarke Duncan has style.

And a part of this style consists of being a avid supporter of mixed martial arts.

Duncan has been spotted spending time with former UFC champion Chuck Liddell, but it was Duncan's hilarious comments that have made him recognized in MMA today.

Duncan stated: "I'll fight any MMA star."

Al Bundy

17 of 25

Believe it or not, Ed O'Neil, also referred to as "Al Bundy," is a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

O'Neil has been spotted hanging out with former UFC champion Chuck Liddell and apparently still has some life in him.

UFC fans would love to see O'Neil at UFC on FOX 1.

Robert Downey Jr.

18 of 25

Not only was Robert Downey Jr. spotted at UFC 120, but he was seen doing something most celebrities don't do.

After Carlos Condit dropped Dan Hardy, Downey Jr. was spotted jumping for joy just a few rows back from the Octagon.

We'd love to see Downey Jr. showing more emotion when action begins at UFC on FOX.

LeBron James

19 of 25

Let's be honest, LeBron James was the savior of Cleveland, Ohio when he turned the Cavaliers from one of the worst teams in the NBA to an elite contender.

But, that all changed when James took his talents to Miami only to choke in the NBA Finals.

And, while many NBA fans may despise James, UFC fans would love have him take part in the biggest night in the history of the organization.

The Undertaker

20 of 25

The Undertaker, a WWE superstar, was seen cageside to see former pro wrestler Brock Lesnar lose his title to Cain Velasquez at UFC 121.

Following the fight, The Undertaker had words for Lesnar as he was departing from the Octagon.

Regardless, The Undertaker isn't simply a WWE legend, but a worldwide legend and fans would love to see him in Anaheim, California on November 12th.

Dwayne Johnson

21 of 25

Dwayne Johnson, also a former WWE superstar, has been recognized as one of the biggest mixed martial arts fans today.

In fact, "The Rock" admits he would have gone the route of MMA if it were popular years ago.

Johnson spoke of his decision to enter pro wrestling, his love for MMA and the effects it's had on WWE at UFC 119.

Ashton Kutcher

22 of 25

Ashton Kutcher is a man of many talents as he is most famously known for being an actor, producer, comedian and even a television host.

And despite being the man of the hour for most hours of the day, Kutcher found time to support MMA when he was seen at UFC 104.

Fans across the globe would love to see Kutcher back in the stands come fight night on November 12th.

Chris Tucker

23 of 25

Chris Tucker was another celebrity on hand for UFC 104 when Mauricio "Shogun" Rua was robbed of the light heavyweight championship against Lyoto Machida in October of 2009.

Tucker is just one of many celebrities we'd love to see in the Honda Center crowd for UFC on FOX 1.

Demi Moore

24 of 25

Demi Moore was also spotted at UFC at UFC 104 displaying her support for mixed martial arts.

Unfortunately for all males, she was seen in attendance with Ashton Kutcher.

Nevertheless, we'd love to see her return to cageside when action begins between Velasquez and Dos Santos.

Brian Dawkins

25 of 25

Apparently mixed martial arts isn't only for fighters, as Brian Dawkins and several other NFL players use it for their own personal training.

In fact, ESPN revealed that these NFL players used MMA training leading up to the league's regular season.

Dawkins is just one of many NFL players we'd love to see at UFC on FOX 1.
