Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has two of its highest-ranking executives rated among the top "50 Most Influential People In Sports Business" for 2011, according to the Sports Business Journal.
Coming in at number 41, Chairman Lorenzo Fertitta and President Dana White make the list for their contributions to the world of mixed martial arts, which continues to change the way mainstream sports looks at cagefighting, particularly on the heels of its recent broadcast deal with the FOX Network.
In the last decade, the Las Vegas billionaire and his bombastic front man have taken the UFC from outlawed to in thing. A move to the Fox family of networks, coupled with expansion into South America and Asia, made 2011 a watershed year.
The UFC brass share the list with a Weiner and a Cuban.
MLB Players Association Executive Director Michael Weiner came in at number 42 while Dallas Mavericks owner and HDNet head honcho Mark Cuban was number 45.

That's what I'm thinking...
The other brother gets no love
In my avatar pic-what i dine on for every day of the week ( i hit the one in green twice on Fridays!!)
I hate Chorongota
The other brother was going to be on the list
But then he took an arrow to the knee.
IF YOU THINK REEM SHOULD BE RATED ANY HIGHER THAN AROUND THE #5 HEAVYWEIGHT (AND THAT IS STRETCHING IT) THEN YOU ARE A FLIPPIN MORON, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

Frank is a silent owner

This is the most loneliest sport in the world. Fighting is nothing like no other - Tito
They are both fucking retards playing around with daddy's money. The other brother is probably the smart one and the decision maker.

Yeah, says fuck a lot, calls people bitches, faggots and cunts
Yet gets to fire a select person who doesn’t make him loads of money that made a rape joke even though people that do make him $$$$ get by free.

Looks like Dana delt it, then smelt it in that pick.

LOL, looks like Lorenzo has a surprised look on his face in the above pic, like someone just called him out for using steroids!

HGH and other designer drugs.
Looka t pictures from when they bought the UFC. I would guess that all 3 of them are on some sort of TRT, HGH or replacement therrapy.

It's almost as if they're making Anderson Silva type money...
I live in America! Land of the coward, home of the slave. Watch that TV, go to that football game, that circus, CNN, MSNBC, FOX and other mainstream media are not owned by large corporations, they are always honest and fair and they never lie to you. Whatever you do don't read history books, don't study the constitution, do everything you can possibly do to be happy in life. Just don't ever get involved in your government, big brother will take care of you. Your elected officials always do what's in your best interest, there is no corruption in our government, good little sheep, just make yourself happy, just entertain yourself, the government is only here to entertain you and take care of you and feed you and make you happy, don't you worry your little head over world affairs.
