That was it?? I think it's safe to say that most of us already knew this was Hughes next fight, just didn't know when. It just stuck me as wierd, I may sound crazy, but as I was watching 2 things kept going through my mind:
1. There was supposed to be something announced in addition to Hughes/GSP, but either fell through or wasn't solidified in time.
2. ESPN is finally figuring out how big MMA is and wanted them on, so Dana being a smart businessman agreed to make 'a big announcement' and then basically made a fairly small one, espcially when you consider the Wandy/Liddell fight.
It almost seemed like he was taking a shot ESPN, in a subtle way, plus he surely doesn't want to piss off Spike.
It was great to see both Hughes and GSP get interviewed though, and I thought they represented the sport extremely well.
