MMA Monopoly
Over the past 18 years, there has been an uprising in the world of combat sports. The organization known as the UFC has grown into the largest MMA promotion company worldwide. In 1993, the organization was nothing more than what appeared to be a traveling circus of lethal fighters. Unable to hold events in most states of the USA and countries around the world, no one expected the UFC to have a long lifeline. Now nearly two decades later, it has grown into a massive phenomenon, almost surpassing the fading boxing world. Its all a far cry from the beginning. The promotion started by holding fight events in small arenas and then distributing the footage on VHS. This may have been lucrative to begin with, but after a short while, the promoters started to realize that it could not continue to sustain this success without developing the format. In 2001 the owners at the time were bought out by two executives, brothers Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta.
