Probably the best possible thing that could happen to the MMA world at this moment if true... Fucking guys are holding this shit back as much as they possibly can.

cool.

Zuffa is bad enough that I'll take a coin flip whether it'll be for better or for worse.

worst case scenario we have Bellator snatching fighters up.

Hopefully that mob group never shows their face around mma again. Now a neutered EGG will be a sight.

They might have finally agreed to the offers after the court of public opinion recently ruled against them yet again.
I know they should make as much as they can but you can't be that openly greedy and expect the public to support you, can you?

They obviously invested a lot of resources into building the UFC but the last few years have been odd. It's like they weren't happy with having a monopoly and wanted to milk more money out of it. Whoever has bought it, has bought it for the same reasons though. IF there are new buyers then let's not expect that their main goal is to bring a fighter's union and financial stability to the fighters...unless it benefits the organization to do so (in my opinion it does).

I have mixed feelings about the UFC being sold. On one hand it could be run much much better but whoever buys it for that amount of money will be all about profits. The only reason the other major sports pay so much is because they were forced to. There is a long history of athletes being abused in sports and it continues even today. Look at how much money the Olympics brings and how corrupt and money hungry they still are.

There's something to be said for the Devil you know. At least Dana and Co are legit fight fans. This could either be great for the sport or a time where it gets really awkward and fumbles and stumbles as the new owners try to find new ways to exploit fighters in the face of new legislation.
