What happened: MMA reporter Ariel Helwani posted on May 7 that an announcement should be coming very soon and that nothing has changed. Helwani's same-day timeline includes promotion for a live show at City Winery NYC and a separate item relaying Dana White's comment to Jim Rome that Conor McGregor will fight this summer.

Why it matters: Helwani is one of the most-followed reporters in combat sports, so a teaser from his account routinely moves attention across the MMA news cycle.

What to watch: Watch Helwani's feed and his live show lineup for the actual announcement, and cross-check against any UFC 328 fight-week news out of the promotion.
