This is another matter that I am pretty sure is left up to the regulatory boddies if I remember correctly. It also does not account fo the "next five years" comment or the "signed the deal" statement so I am forced to go with a "ruled out" on this one.

LMAO. Nope i have a feeling it is going to be several things one of them will most likely be a super fight involving Chuck Liddell vs. Anderson Silva. Silva wants to box. Chuck will box with him.

If this "huge announcement" actually turns out be half as big as it's hyped, that would be first.
I'm not holding my breath.

That sure sounds like a TV deal. Dana has done this kind of thing before and he may be squashing this rumor just so he can tell us himself. *Crosses fingers*

I have a feeling it's gonna be some sort of coverage they get or something. That or I'm hoping that somehow they signed a deal with another company..... mergers and buyouts get me excited.

The UFC/Dana will NEVER EVER co-promote ever again. Mark my words on this, right now they are the biggest and they only stand to LOSE from co-promoting because they'd be helping their compeitition.
A new sponsor is a possibility, but again, seems to minor for such a big announcement.
Very big chance they are announcing expansion to other parts of the world, but I think that would only be a small part of the announcement.
No way UFC champions will ever fight outside champions.

right on with your assesment
