MMA Monopolization


MMA Monopolization
A few months back the federal trade commission opened up an investigation concerning if the UFC has monopolized the MMA business. The recent purchase of the second biggest promotion in MMA, Strikeforce, has forced the FTC to open an investigation. This is not the first time the UFC has purchased one of its competitors. In the past the UFC has bought out many of its rival’s such as Pride, WEC, World Fighting alliance, international fight league, and now Strikeforce. The UFC obviously is running some sort of monopoly but according to UFC, (Zuffa) ownership recognizes this idea as ridiculous. Only recently the FTC has closed their investigation.
