The Announcement and MMA Media

by Michael Rome on Jun 10, 2008 10:01 PM EDT in News

According to Dave Meltzer, the announcement will not be made this Thursday. Instead, it will be made a week from today :

According to the UFC, that announcement will be made a week from today, and not on Thursday.

With another week, I look forward to more and more news "stories" that are mostly just logical speculation.

DAMMIT!

What the hell? I’d have rather found out that the announcment is some sort of transgender division than have to deal with another week of crazy speculation.

There shouldn't be a crazy week.

I personally don’t understand what people are waiting for. So it’s a big deal…just wait and see. Am I the only one who a) realizes White is a constant dick tease and b) if it’s really good, chances are no one knows about it?

Anyone notice I haven’t put a single post about “speculation”? I just don’t care.

What a coincidence, all this press baiting and hyperbole from Dana a week after EliteXC started getting more attention from the msm

really? seems to me 99 percent of the speculation about this been on MMA blogs and message boards.

Were gonna be seeing UFC toys and clothing in department stores and now Dana is teasing the press with this story and he was on CNBC today. He’s really making sure the UFC brand sticks with casual fans .

i think it will be something along the lines of maybe a big show being on Spike in Sept or some sort of investment deal being done.

He comes off like a fool...

...if it is just a show on Spike. That won’t change the direction of MMA for 4 years or anything like that…and those were the words he chose when he was explaining the kind of announcement it would be.
