FOX Sports will honor the victims of the Moore, Oklahoma tornado with special features that 

will run across a variety of FOX Sports networks beginning Thursday, July 4th

. 

The City of Moore was hit by a devastating tornado on May 20 that took the lives of 24 people 

and injured hundreds. 

The features, which will be themed “The American Way,” will make their debut in the pregame 

shows of more than a dozen Major League Baseball telecasts produced by FOX Sports 

regional networks on Independence Day. The features will then continue to run across FOX 

Sports properties through the weekend, including the FOX Saturday Baseball Game of the 

Week on July 6, as well as during programming on SPEED, FUEL TV, and FOX Soccer. 

“The American Way” showcases those who reached out to their fellow Americans and examines 

how communities far from Moore, Oklahoma used their love for baseball and softball to help 

Oklahoma recover, rebuild, and remember those who were lost. 

The outpouring of support depicted in “The American Way” is best symbolized in the efforts to 

memorialize Sydney Angle, the nine year old who tragically lost her life inside the Plaza 

Towers Elementary School along with six other children when the tornado struck. Sydney was 

a star player on her softball team, and her story has drawn attention from baseball and softball 

communities across the country.

The main event is preceded by five exciting matchups, including TUF Brazil Season 2 finale welterweight 

William “Patolino” Macario against Leonardo Santos. Light heavyweight Thiago Silva (14-3-0, 2NC)

Sarafian (8-3-0) squares-off with Eddie Mendez (7-1-1, 1NC), and welterweight rising star Erick Silva

WERDUM NEEDS WIN AT UFC ON FUEL TV 10 MORE THAN NOGUEIRA, SAYS SONNEN – When UFC heavyweights Minotauro “Big Nog” Nogueira and Fabricio Werdum face off this weekend at UFC ON FUEL TV 10, UFC TONIGHT analyst Chael Sonnen expects a great fight. While praising Nogueira’s ability and legacy in the business, he questions whether his time has passed, and believes 

that Werdum holds the edge with youth, speed and hunger. “We’ve all been waiting for Big Nog to quit 

fighting, and we need to accept that he’s still got it,” says Sonnen. “This guy can still fight. He’s ranked 

No. 8 in the world, and that might be a little bit low but he’s going to be tested with Werdum. Werdum 

needs this a little bit more. He’s a little sharper right now. Werdum should win this fight.” Follow the link
