The usual Dana propaganda. I think he let it slip and then got sideswiped when NY said NO!!!!

I think it is a kick start - this announcement at least has some substance. The guy that posted this 16 hour's ago, did you happen to get it off of realgm? I doubt it.

P.S. baby Jesus is my boy.

I rarely post on realgm but check out a few threads here and there.

The New York thing is part of it but I imagine Mayweather is something to do with it too. And before everyone starts ranting I actually don't think he'll have signed as a fighter but as a representative or something to put a world recognised face to non MMA enthusiasts

Since Dana's "Big" announcement was a bust, he'll have to come up with a new "Big" announcement.....which will be......ta-da.....the next TUF Coaches!!!!

They have the money and the tourism would make it a goldmine!

Any thoughts?
I'm pretty sure the Fertittas own Mandalay Bay.
And, they do air weekly TUF shows, and there is a UFC training center.

When did they announce that the announcement would be delayed until tuesday? I haven't seen that on UFC.com.
