UFC Has Reportedly Sold For $4.2 Billion
http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/ufc-sells-for-s42-billion-news.22384.html?
Zuffa LLC, founded by Dana White and Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta, has reportedly accepted a $4.2 billion bid to sell the UFC. To put things in perspective, the trio originally purchased the UFC in 2001 for $2 million from the Semaphore Entertainment Group.

From $2 million to $4.2 billion in 15 years. That's quite the ROI.

As of now it is not known who White and the Fertitta brothers sold the UFC to, although the leading group was made up of William Morris Endeavor-IMG, the Chinese conglomerate Dalian Wanda, The Kraft Group, and Chinese investment company Tencent Holdings Limited.

White, the Fertittas and the other investors are expected to sell 100% of their shares in the company, but White will allegedly be offered future shares to oversee the organizational transition.

Bunch of allegations on management, favoritism, apparently Ronda had been taking supplements that are about to be banned, Joe Rogan looking to leave, or leveraging a deal with a new ownership group, it might all just about be ready to blow up. No I cannot see Dana not running the UFC, but you figure there will be some no compete clause with the sale. Maybe Rogan will end up building up a new empire the way Dana had.

$4 billion is a crazy amount. Someone's looking for a big tax write-off IMO.

Dana white is like a non politically correct Roger Goodell.

After that garbage he pulled with the journalist doing his job I hope it is true. Kind of over Dana running things.

The crybaby journalist was in the wrong and got what he deserved. His ban has since been lifted.
