Woah. Robert Kraft, yes THAT Robert Kraft, the owner of the patriots, is also part of the group that submitted the highest bid.
So the high bid was submitted by an ownership group made of up of WME, 2 big chinese companies, and Robert Kraft. edit: He is only going to have a very small stake, like $25-$50 million. Most of the money is coming from WME and one of the chinese companies, they are just reaching out to rich investors to finance the rest, and Kraft is one of them.

I couldn't watch the fight, but judging from twitter, it looks like the Fedor hype is going to be deflated a bit. Sounds like he should retire.
According to twitter, he won 2 rounds, but then just got flattened in a round that most people scored 10-8 (so a draw). But, because Fedor is literally the head of the organization that appoints judges in Russia, he got a majority decision (29-28, 29-28, 28-28) edit: I guess the round Fedor got wrecked in was the first round, but his opponent couldn't put him away.

Just watched the Fedor fight.
His explosiveness is not what it was back in Pride (which is what all of us expect). Really surprised he chose to keep the fight standing (since he destroyed Big Nog in guard twice). Seems reliant on hooks out of exchanges and hoping his speed closes distance better than he thought it would.

More UFC rumors, all from Jeremy Botter, none confirmed outside of him.
1) After the sale, the Fertittas will be completely out, and thats fine with them, because they want to use this new capital to expand their casino business. 2) WME/Dalian wants to retain Dana White, and will pay him for it, but for more of a promotional/public face role. They are looking at someone like Garry Cook to be the new actual president of the UFC. 3) For the most part, they want the UFC to continue to operate as before as far as the casual fan is concerned, they just might rein back the crazier people (Dana)

WME/Dalian is reportedly willing to give Dana 6-7% of the new company in his current role.
That is in direct conflict with stories suggesting that the new owners may want Dana to stay only in a reduced rule, so obviously there is a lot of confusion and uncertainty in this issue.

I can't imagine if the NFL let's a team in Vegas, they'd let a casino owner own even a penny of the team.

The fight card tonight is shallow, but the last 2 fights should be entertaining. Tune in after about 10:30pm central if nothing else.
