that's it (way to nail your 18-34 year old target market)? I hope the Thursday announcement is a little more meaty and not - "we've signed a deal with Gatorade to be the official sports drink of the Octagon".

Not too exciting because we all new it would come around.
I expect them to be statuettes rather than action figures so they will be for display not for 8 year olds.
I will be a collector.

Kinda like McFarlens.

Dana's annoucments always sucks he hypes them up and then its like damn!


I wouldnt be suprised if the huge thursday annoucment was that he will give

10 normal ordinay people a chance to face a champion in the octo. 2 people at each weight class random normal arse people with little to no training. Those two people fight and the winner gets a title shot. LIKE ROCKY!!!!


yea whatever he pretty much said that the things i thought it would be a (network tv deal) are not what is going to be.

hmm

I hope his announcement is much more than that. Otherwise i would say, that he tricked us all..


In all cases he is one bald Joker!
