Rumoured for about a week.
Big money. Biggest Sale EVER in sports.
Yeah there’s been rumors for a while, at least a few months. More serious ones quoting $4 billion during the past few weeks.
UFC200 was interesting, kind of underwhelming in the end.
It was not one of the better UFCs I’ve seen. Tate/Nunes was probably the most exciting, though it didn’t last long. Tate never stood a chance.
The rest of the fights were underwhelming, though Silva agreeing to fight on two days’ notice was impressive.
I think they’re selling at a great time.
Steroids are taking over the UFC right when the testing is getting rigorous. You’ve got the best fighter in the world about to get a 2 year ban for steroids. The best female fighter in the world is inconsolable and walking away from the sport. Then you’ve got the biggest draw in the world (McGregor) infatuated with a .500 fighter 2 weight classes heavier than himself, and he’s ruining his prime in the process by wasting a year on Nate Diaz.
All around, it might have just jumped the shark. We will see.

Plus the extension of the Ali Act to MMA/kickboxing, if that’s still in the law mill

Awesome UFC - every fight was great. When will we see Diaz/McGregor 3?

McGregor made $3 million guarantee + PPV points
Diaz made $2 million guarantee (not sure if he’d get PPV)

What do we think - will Rousey ever fight again?
I think she’s done. That first loss shook her confidence so much that she now seems like a golfer with the yips. I highly doubt she can recover from that.

I’m amazed about how fighters neglect to go to the body. They’re so focused on punching the head.
Here from 0:55 to 1:01 Lewis has Browne’s body wide wide open, ripe for a big knee to the bread basket that would have ended the fight:
