UFC in negotiations with CBS
Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer had a note in his daily update about the UFC possibly negotiating with CBS to air prime time network specials. Here's the note:
Scott Collins of the Los Angeles Times has reported that CBS is talking with UFC about producing one or more prime time network specials. The writers strike is making the talks more serious, because the network would be in need of first-run unscripted prime time programming when the shows on the schedule run out of fresh episodes.
Who would have thought the WGA strike would effect the UFC? It seems as though CBS is trying to find programming for whenever the fresh episodes of their hit TV shows run out. Either way the UFC on CBS would be awesome. And if it's live you can't really go wrong there.

Yesterday 5 Oz. broke word that the UFC would be holding a conference call to announce a new television deal. Details are not known at this time if the TV deal is an extension with SpikeTV or if its a venture with a completely different TV outlet.
Brock Lesnar, Wanderlei Silva, Chuck Liddell, and Dana White are all supposed to be available at the conference to field questions.
The UFC scheduled the conference call for 4PM EST, only 30 minutes before Randy's presser. This is definately not a coincidence and was likely done to make the press choose between one or the other.
Yahoo! is going to stream the UFC conference call here.
As soon as more details break about the TV deal and what was said at both pressers more information will be posted.
