ufc has been sold
UFC has been sold for 4 billions at the height of their mark ability as just had there biggest ppv (ufc 200).
Dana White will still be the face of the promotion like it or not and the Fertitta brothers will still be apart the company as minority partners.
The new owners are talent group WME-IMG and private partners Silver Lake, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, and investment group of billionaire Michael S. Dell. So there will be a lot more cooks in the kitchen so it very interesting if any of them bump heads with each other or even White.
There are huge events still to come with Conor Nate Diaz will happen at UFC 202 while CM Punk (if can stay healthy) will have his UFC @ UFC 203 Vs Mickey Gall . These could be huge buys while they will be getting a huge gate as they finally can perform for the first time in NYC in November @ UFC 205.
It is also going to be tough for the new owners as they no longer have the unbeatable camps like Ronda Rousey because since she lost nobody has been able to retain the title. Anderson silva and Jon Jones are not as unbeatable as they used to be as they been caught with banned substances in their systems.
So others problems that could hurt the company is the thing about the card having to constantly changing because positives drug test leading into fights leading to matches cancelled. Fighters getting injured during training and having musical chair i.e. this guy over here now fighting this guy over there and that guy now facing this guy. Also it is harder but safer for guys to cut weight and miss weight because they are no longer to use fat burners like Jonny Hendricks @ ufc 200.
In the end Fertitta brothers and to a much lesser extent Dana are laughing all the way to the bank turning 2 million into 4 BILLION DOLLARS.
UFC will never be the same
