The ultimate fighter championship (ufc) is the world’s largest mixed martial arts promotion company in the world. It features the top ranked fighters in the sport. It was set up in 2001 by fertitta brothers and Dana white who snapped up the company for $2million. Today the ufc is worth $3.2billion.
The ufc has turned into a global monopoly which hosts over 250 event per year, this over takes boxing and WWE as the most consistent performer on pay per view on box office.
One of the world’s most famous ufc fighters in the men’s division is conor McGregor. Conor McGregor is a ufc fighter from Ireland. He’s has gained the nickname notorious after winning nearly all his fights.
Ronda Rousey is one of the most famous ufc fighters in the women’s division. She has never lost a fight. Her shortest fight lasted 14 seconds and her longest fight lasted 4:47 minutes.
Women’s fighting in the ufc is not really promoted because Dana white felt that people didn’t want to watch women getting beat up and bleeding but in 2011 he was outright asked when will women join ufc to which he replied “never”.
UFC President Dana White is synonymous with the UFC brand. The astute promoter has made himself the very embodiment of his company, acting as the always present face of every aspect of business. In some ways he is the real biggest star in company history, helped tremendously by his likeable and straight shooting personality.That doesn’t mean he will be around forever though. It may seem like UFC is his life, it may seem that his work is more passion than business, but White is already talking about not continuing his role in the longer term. In fact, he could be finished in UFC within the decade, revealing in a 2012 that interview that he’s almost achieved all of his career goals.
The success of the 3 billion dollar company is at major odds with what fighters are earning on pay-per view.
