Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

quote:

The UFC recently teased a special announcement to members of the media with a “save the date” request for Monday, Nov. 17, in Las Vegas.

On Wednesday, company officials revealed at least a portion of the plans for the special event, revealing that Jon Jones, Ronda Rousey, Chris Weidman, Anderson Silva, Conor McGregor, Lyoto Machida, :siren: Nick Diaz :siren:, and more of the UFC’s biggest stars would convene in Sin City for the announcement.

The event, entitled “The Time is Now,” which is free and open to the public, will take place at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts at 2 p.m. PT on Monday, Nov. 17, and will be streamed live.

The UFC’s biggest stars will help the company promote not only a two-month slate of events already revealed, but also the promotion’s entire 2015 calendar of events.

The promotion has never before revealed its entire schedule for an entire year at one time.

That’s quite a bit of information in and of itself, but UFC officials also teased there would be an addition “very special announcement,” but gave no hints to what it might be.



What will it be? Find out in like 2 hours from now.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

Nick Diaz and Anderson Silva will both be contained in padded rooms, side by side, to ensure that the fight will happen.

You're going to feel really silly when the feed comes through and Vitor is in the stocks while Dana is selling rotten vegetables.

Lyoto Machida being there is surprising to me, even if he is a former champion and handsome dude. His next fight is supposed to be against Dollaway in December so it doesn't involve the 2015 schedule.

but I guess https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flH1K3hq3vw

Guess: New weight class, either women's 125 or men's 225 or something

Guess: Down to 8 PPVs next year, with 5 more events on Big Fox

Guess: something really loving dumb like UFC-branded restaurant/bar/online betting/whatever

UFC will admit that the past year has proven that actually scheduling cards in advance doesn't work, will now make future PPVs use the structure of this conference where all fighters who are uninjured (and one barista) are brought into an arena and are matched up by a big "wheel of fight".

A new weight class seems the least likely to me because at this point does anybody want another weight class?

Probably not but they could use more belts since they put in that new kind of rule that all ppvs must have a title fight
