Dana said it's not the NY thing... But why the hell haven't any sites reported it yet?
He also said they didn't buy Pride then two weeks it comes out they bought Pride heh. That's the only thing I can imagine it being because it's the only thing that makes sense to be postponed. That's really all on the bill getting passed and the UFC have no control over it .. either that or the signing of someone is taking longer than expected.

There huge announcements usually disappoint.

LOL...what a bunk ass "big announcement"...who gives a shit if they are getting sanctioned in NY.

Vegas is the fight capital of the world, Madison Square lost its luster IMO.

Ya it has to be the NY thing now that they're revoting on it.

Thats what I'm thinking. If it the outcome is that MMa will be legalized in the state of New York. Madison Square Garden is gonna turn out to be the new home of UFC title fights. I still wanna see Randy vs Fedor in a UFC heavyweight fight title or not.

Dana's backing out now, this is gonna be some bullshit.

Now White is changing his tune, saying he never really planned to announce it to the media. Even though he told a member of the media about it. Here are his recent comments to The Baltimore Sun:

I’m doing it Tuesday. Let me tell you how out of [expletive deleted] control that thing is. I was talking to ESPN and [the reporter] was talking about competition and I said, ‘Let me tell you what. People have been trying to compete with the UFC for years, even before we bought it. The last big one everyone thought was a big threat … was the IFL. They went public, raised 800-[expletive deleted] million dollars, then they were talking about doing fighter benefits and stuff. They got the first network deal and those other guys weren’t the first on. They got time on 60 Minutes with us when 60 Minutes did their piece on us, and now the IFL is gone. They are [expletive deleted] down, their stock is worth half a cent (Editor’s note: IFLI closed today at $0.02). That’s what we were talking about that day and I said I’m going to make an announcement to my employees that shows everyone exactly where this business is going in the next couple years.

I said I wanted to make the announcement to my employees, so it’s not even like I was making a big announcement to the media. If I was doing that I would’ve had a big news conference and then gone off to London. I wanted to wait until I was back to do it.

It’s a big [expletive deleted] announcement, it’s a big [expletive deleted] deal but I got a lot of other stuff we’re working on right now. It was never anything I said I was going to announce to the media.
