Was Brock supposed to be the "big announcement"?

Media Monster - That wasn't able to be locked in time?

" Lesnar is currently locked up through part of 2015 in a deal with World Wrestling Entertainment, but the contract only runs through the end of March, shortly after the promotion's annual WrestleMania event."

" White has always left the door open for Lesnar to return, but this latest statement is the strongest indicator yet that it might actually happen.
"Brock Lesnar's under contract with the WWE. We have a great relationship with him. He's healthy and he has said that he's interested in fighting again," White stated. "We'll see what happens."

No allegedly it was a deal with a major energy drink co.

Whambo - I think so, I think him and Rousey were the only ones who cared about Carano. I don't know who else it could have been unless it was Fedor.

You're wrong. It was Carano.

Brock is still under contract, UFC may do sketchy shit once in a while but they aren't poaching one of WWE's biggest stars while he is still under contract.

Carano is it, they have been in negotiation with her for months. Cat Zingano just got injured, Carano was going to replace her and fight Rousey.

There is no way Bince would allow Brock to appear at a UFC event nor would he allow him to negotiate with them before his contract is up. He is the champion for Christ's sake. Phone Post 3.0

I don't know why everyone thinks it was a announcement about a fighter being signed. They flew out all these big name fighters just to have them left in the shadow when a new "superstar" signing is announced? I don't think so.

It seems much more likely that it was to announce the introduction of uniforms, hence "the time is now". They were planning to have their biggest stars showcase the uniforms.

How or why it fell threw I couldn't begin to guess.

They couldn't talk Konrad out of retirement yet.

Companies don't book press conferences for deals that aren't signed.

This press conference wasn't for the big announcement. They just tried to get whatever deal it was signed in time to announce it there, but it didnt happen.

I dont think it was uniforms or a new sponsor. I don't think they would announce those things before they happen.

You haven't been following the UFC long? They do stupid shit like this all the time.

44 Magnum - I'm thinking Gina, I could be wrong, Ronda was more done up than normal.

The cost of flying everyone out there for nothing, I'd expect something pretty big like that to be announced soon.

That was a lot of plane tickets, the vunue cost
It wouldn't be Gina when Rousey was there to hype her fight with Cat Phone Post 3.0

Rantuckjr - Brock is only "interested" so he can renegotiate with the WWE. That's it.


wwe doesnt have the money... they're making enormous cuts.  If Brock wants to keep earning and keep his travel schedule then he'll likely be in the UFC in 2015.

This article is a transcript from the press con. Media asked about Brock, Dana left the door open. That's it Phone Post 3.0

It's not Punk, I can tell you that with the utmost of confidence in my statement.

As far as Brock is concerned: I don't even think it would be legal for The UFC to hold a press conference stating that once Brock's contract with WWE is up in April, he'll be returning to their (Zuffa's) company. That just doesn't make too much sense to me...

Whatever the "big announcement" was, I'm sure we'll find out sooner or later... and I'm absolutely sure it will pale in comparison to the hype, build-up, and speculation it has warranted, unfortunately... but I am hoping for the best. Phone Post 3.0

Except that the fight was postponed due to injury, which would have opened the door for the gina fight.

WWE announced enormous cuts this year and next.  Highly unlikely that they'll be able to justify paying brock millions for only a dozen appearances a year.

They are cutting guys who don't add much value to the company. They are also still worth several hundred million between just the McMahons.

Brock is an investment they will make.

I doubt they do a press conference for Gina before Rondas next fight. My guess would be they would announce it the night of the fight. It was Brock, CM Punk or a big TV deal IMO. Phone Post 3.0
