It's gonna be some Chinese or Russian promotion buying the UFC I think. Or a TV Network like Fox or ABC. How often does an entire sport go on sale? I hope it's a TV network that can grow the UFC and put on some realllly good fights.

I have feeling we're going to miss Fertitas in 2 years. Dana is part of the deal as the CEOs usually are for all big acquisitions. But just to stay on for continuity for at least 2 years. A lot of times things go to shyt unless it's managed but a real fight fan.

in what fashion, with bellator? Jungle fights? Cage rage come on breh If it ain't on tv or cable it's deuces, if the product is suspect (meaning bellator/WSOF) there is no impetus to persevere. If the new UFC fails it's back to the dark ages

But Bellator and WSOF are on TV. The talent will migrate and the ball will keep rolling

Brock is under contract with the WWE. This fight is a one off type of deal.
If they can get one fight, they probably can get another one. I mean, we live in times of extreme fukkery and Lesnar vs Fedor is not too out of this world.

Guess we'll have to see tho.
