they signed a prime time deal with Fox, with all HL being shown daily on FSN


I've been saying this for a while, they fit right into their demographic, and will be eaten up by the masses of 18-36 year old boys that watch Fox. It will be so, mark my words

Why would he be so specific in the years?

Because he signed a 5 year deal with a TV Network.
I agree, but there has to be something more to it than just a TV deal.

Interesting that WWE is making a Big Anouncement on Thursday the same Day as UFC. According to fightline.com dana denied the mayweather rumor and stated he was on his way to new york. The same place WWE is making their anouncement. WWE just had press conf. last week in Cali. and now another anouncement. Interesting

jesus chrysler i'm so exited about this shit. my hope is that they announce the wec guys between 155 and 205 are being merged into the ufc and the wec will be all smaller classes (125-145). my fear is that the WWE has bought them out. whoa, that would really be harsh. hopefully thursday will be a good day. maybe even the announcement of ufc/wec coevent cards. i'll hold my breath until then.
