The owners of the UFC are in advanced talks to sell the business, sources told ESPN.com. At least four bidders are believed to have submitted bids for the organization, including WME/IMG, China Media Capital, The Blackstone Group and Dalian Wanda Group. The winning bid, should things proceed, is expected to be for a valuation between $3.5 billion and $4 billion, multiple sources with knowledge of the negotiations told ESPN.com. "As a private company, we don't discuss speculation or rumors related to our business," said David Sholler, vice president of public relations and athlete marketing for the UFC.
Pretty good return for $2 million. Of course, they spent plenty of money buying up their competitors.

A nugget here too:
Quote:
Blackstone Group is also believed to be a bidder. A senior executive at the private equity firm, David Blitzer, owns a minority stake in the New Jersey Devils, Philadelphia 76ers and British soccer team Crystal Palace.

UFC 198's stacked main card has stayed intact for several weeks, much to the delight of expectant fans. That's no longer the case as of today, as Dana White confirmed to Yahoo's Kevin Iole that Anderson Silva is out of Saturday's bout against Uriah Hall. It is the first time in Silva's entire 20-fight UFC career that he has withdrawn from an officially announced matchup.

According to UFC medical consultant Jeff Davidson, Silva had "developed abdominal discomfort [Monday and] further evaluation today is consistent with acute cholecystitis. He will be seen by a surgeon today for possible surgery.

I am willing to bet that Dana White is hoping this Nicholle Caliari can fight at least a little bit. (She's in Pancrase right now)

Bisping stepped up tonight and taught Rockhold that arrogance and over confidence can be punished.

Would be happier if he wasn't a wanker supporter, but an english UFC champion nonetheless...

Edit: Also sad to see Faber fade away a bit vs Cruz but the reality is that Cruz is a level above.

**** yeah. All hail the count. Have to say I thought he had no chance against Rockhold but if ever a fighter deserved a chance it's Bisping and as you say Rockholds arrogance was his downfall.

English world champ!

Well, I got the feeling that Bisping is gonna get savaged by Jacare.

Definitely possible although if he can avoid going to ground (and he does have decent wrestling) he stands a chance. Keeps the division interesting for sure.

Only really look out for Lesnar and CM Punk's debut to be honest.

However, for Bisping going from getting KTFO to Henderson to UFC champion is a sizeable achievement, and I hope he successfully defends at least once to show it wasn't a fluke result.

Has Lesnar recovered from his diverticulitis? Seems odd to bring him back for one fight only. I know he was originally all in for UFC before hand but i've heard nothing about him training since his illness.

Smacks of cheap publicity on all sides and an attempt to make 'wrestling' seem more like a legitimate sport.

Who is CM Punk?

So Jones is out for doping charges. BL and MH to headline. Still a really good card but not the same without the main event.

Jones seems like one of the most stupid athletes around. I can't tell if its ego or stupidity though.

Las Vegas-based UFC, a mixed-martial arts empire, has been sold for $4 billion; and this time, it's for real.

Stories about a possible sale have surfaced for the last two months, but each time the purported deals collapsed. However, this time, 8 News Now has learned, the papers were signed on Saturday.

The price tag makes this the largest single deal in the history of sports, according to sources close to the situation.

Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta, the brothers who own 80% of UFC, originally purchased the sports network for $2 million. The Fertittas will retain a small percentage in the new ownership group.

The new owners include an alphabet-soup partnership of WME (William Morris Endeavor), the internationally known talent agency, IMG (International Management Group) a global sports and entertainment company based in New York, and MSD, a private equity group headed by Michael Dell. Also involved as a strategic partner is KKR, a global investment firm.

According to persons familiar with the deal, Lorenzo Fertitta will remain as chairman of UFC for 6-8 weeks during the transition but will step down after that. UFC president Dana White, who currently owns 9% of the organization, will continue in his role with UFC and will have a smaller ownership stake.

If he genuinely did test positive then he's a ******. He should be stripped of the belt for good. Feel kinda sorry for DC. Did nothing wrong yet got booed for taking a no win risk against Silva and not standing and trading.

Still Aldo looked good and set up another CM fight and the undercard was pretty stacked. Not sure what the **** has happened to Johnny Hendricks.

The vid of Dana telling him that Jones had failed his test made you feel so bad for him. You could tell he had put everything into training for this fight only to be let down by that muppet once again.

Jones should never be allowed back for sure. Rocks for brains.
