ESPN’s Brett Okamoto communicated with Tim Kennedy via text message and Kennedy said, “I’m nervous and excited. Finally it’s coming to fruition.”

O’Malley Hansen Communications told MMA Fighting’s Marc Raimondi that all further details regarding the announcement have been embargoed until Wednesday’s conference call.

Both Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Tim Kennedy have taken a vocal stance on a union or association for fighters and Georges St-Pierre’s recent battle with the UFC to fight again have many believing that the call will regarding some type of union or association.
