The UFC announced their 2015 schedule on Monday, though no new locations are set, and some of the dates have not yet been determined.

The schedule won't slow down from 2014 at all, as there will be 45 events coming to their different platforms. That consists of 13 numbered events expected for pay-per-view once again, four events on Fox, 18 Fight Night cards on Fox Sports 1, and 10 events on UFC Fight Pass.

They're hoping to hit three to five cities in Canada throughout the year, as well as two to three in Mexico.

The image below is the schedule they released at their "The Time is Now" press conference:



Prior to Monday's press conference, the UFC had teased a "very special announcement," but UFC President Dana White said they didn't get the deal done in time for the press event.

Penick's Analysis: The fact that there was absolutely no scaling back on really any area means they haven't learned anything from the injury issues that stretched them so thin this year. They've got a stacked string of events coming up from Dec. 6 through Feb. 28, but that's not going to keep up all year, and there's going to be a number of stretches next year that feature lesser cards once again. It's almost guaranteed at this point that they're going to have similar stretches during this schedule for next year.
