If the ufc gets sold to a chinese company

[MisdemeanorMMA]

Would there be a higher shot of Fedor fighting for the UFC?

Also didnt they getting sued by some fighters, would the new owner walk into a lawsuit?

I feel this is great for mma as a whole. If the rumors are true what would be the reason for selling?

Thoughts?

 

[HHJ]

Yes.

 

[ZFury]

Fighters union.

I imagine we'll probably see a pivot toward Asia and Europe. With more cards over there and less for the traditional North American markets. Fedor might be more likely to sign, but, really, who gives a fuck at this point?
I think we're in for a serious downturn in the quality and consistency of the UFC product if it gets sold to the Chinese, like everything else they touch. At the very least it will take them a long time to figure out how to do this MMA thing right. As much as I hate Dana, I really don't see some Chinese exec coming in and being able to do his job, and I also don't see the current team of matchmakers and behind the scenes people sticking around. Altogether i'm pretty worried about this possibility. I'm not sure what type of freakshow they'll turn MMA into. Maybe I should give them the benefit of the doubt though.

The humour potential is enormous.

Lorenzo and Dana may still be running it, Chinese owners are possibly just a front to get out of the current Reebok deal

The Chinese really love unions, even more so than casino bosses.

Fedor is old. He doesn't need to be fighting in the UFC.
That ship has sailed.

 

[Crazedpyro]

Pretty if it's sold to anyone, Fedor will be coming.

Fedor? Really?? Maybe that will pave the way for, be still mine heart, the return of ................ the Smashing Machine. ps.. Love 'em both, but let sleeping dogs lie.

Yup, they're at #90 on this list.

With a $4 billion sale they could jump about 40 positions to #40-41, thus cracking the top 50.

EDIT: maybe Dana White gets some of it, not sure... but they're probably going to crack the top 50 either way.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

No, he has no interest to fight in UFC
