Woah!

http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Report-Zuffa-in-Advanced-Talks-to-Sell-UFC-Winning-Bid-Could-Total-3634-Billion-104761

“ESPN reports that at least four companies have submitted bids to purchase the Las Vegas-based organization, and that the UFC’s final valuation could land between $3.5 and $4 billion.

The bidders reportedly on the short list of potential purchasers are: Blackstone Group, an American corporation based in New York City; China Media Capital, a state-backed venture capital firm based in Beijing; WME/IMG, a management company which represents numerous athletes, including former UFC champion Ronda Rousey; and Dalian Wanda Group, a Chinese conglomerate which last year purchased Hollywood’s Legendary Entertainment for a rumored $3.5 billion.”

I just hope any ownership change improves the product rather than screws it up.

Whoever buys it I hope they go back to the hold shorts.

I hate the new white/ black - black/ white junk.

Dana White came out with a statement saying the UFC is not for sale so something is definitely up for sure.
