Before the UFC became the juggernaut that it is today, it was simply a fledgling promotion that was bleeding money and on its deathbed.

"Kleptocracy, alternatively cleptocracy or kleptarchy, from the Ancient Greek for "thief" and "rule," is a term applied to a government subject to control fraud that takes advantage of governmental corruption to extend the personal wealth and political power of government officials and the ruling class (collectively, kleptocrats), via the embezzlement of state funds at the expense of the wider population, sometimes without even the pretense of honest service. The term means "rule by thieves". - Alan Greenspan 1966

How old does Dana think he is?

Worst belt pant combo ever. lol

Also, yes Fertittas bought it and kept it afloat until SPIKE saved the day and let them do a reality show on there. Which Dana was against!

Let’s not act like Spike was doing the UFC any favors, The Ferttitas had to pay to get the show on which showed just how smart they are and why the UFC is where it is today.
