Outside of UFC, only PFL. I'm still relatively new in my interest in it.

PFL has an interesting structure, staging seasons and awarding fighters points based on their fights, and the fighters with the most points receiving a cash prize. The promotion used to be called "The World Series Of Fightng." It is owned [or at least presided over] by Ray Sefo, a former fighter, so he knows how to do things, unlike that clown Dana White in the UFC who only cares about money.

Bellator MMA
is a great promotion. They get a lot of the UFC rejects and people who get fed up with Dana White's bull$hit. You can watch the fights for free in the U.S. on the Paramount network [formerly Spike TV, formerly TNN]. They are at the end of a heavyweight tournament, with the finals being in January I believe. Fedor Emelainenko [former PRDIE heavyweight champ] vs Ryan Bader [former UFC light heavyweight].

Keep your eye on ONE FC out of Singapore. They have some good funding behind them. You can watch their fights for free on an app as well. Eddie Alvarez just signed with them. They have Brandon Vera and Ben Askren as well. They have a good business model and are [I think] the largest promotion in Asia, which is nothing to scoff at.

Let's take it easy on Dana White.

I have heard of and seen some Bellator as well, forgot about that one. Just getting really into it for the first time the only people I really know are Kimbo Slice and any wrestlers that have tried their hand at it. I'll have to check out this Singapore league though, the international events are usually really good.

Dude, The UFC is corporatism at it's worst, and Dana White spear heads that $hit like a MF'er. They screw fighters left and right.

Kimbo is dead LOL [R.I.P.]. Check out https://www.MMAJunkie.com it's my favorite MMA site.

Dude, it's his company and he can do what he wants with it.

When did I ever say he was alive? LOL

Is it his company? The Fertitas owned like 99% and recently sold that to a pool of buyers. Dana owns like 1% as far as I remember. I could be wrong. I will look it up.

Dana White has a 9% stake in the ownership of the UFC. He is the President of the company.

BassoonPlatoon 10-22-2018 08:54 PM

He has control over it.

To a certain extent. There are boundaries and limits.

Obviously enough to where people blame him for everything, so now we are just getting into semantics.

I'll concede to your parlance. As long as Dana White keeps those Federal Reserve Notes coming in on the regular, then it's "his company," even though he doesn't have a majority stake. We're good my man :beer:
