After reading an interview between Mark Chalifoux and Dana White, it sounds like Dana will announce the UFC going public.

In an amazing interview, Dana is quoted as saying “said I wanted to make the announcement to my employees, so it’s not even like I was making a big announcement to the media. If I was doing that I would’ve had a big news conference and then gone off to London. I wanted to wait until I was back to do it.”

The Media, and US, has been chasing this story thinking that it was something that was going to change MMA. But it doesn’t seem like we were even close.

What would be the biggest thing a CEO would tell his employees?

Going Public, Profit Sharing, Giving them stocks.

This would be huge. It would humiliate all the guys who left.

Zuffa and Morgan Stanley have been in talks and this would only make sense. Unlike other businesses and MMA Organizations that have rushed to go public and failed. Zuffa has bided their time, and now at the pinnacle of their greatness will have the financial stability to successfully go public.

Many thanks to MMA Stomping Ground for a solid interview.

    I bet there will be a lot of interest from the MMA community to buy shares at the IPO. Count me in…

    No, not all. In fact it would bring even more capital to the UFC allowing them to thrive even more than they already are.
