It was an illegal knee. But I dont think it look like it properly landed. Imagine if that finished the fight!

I guess DC was being booed because Silva is such a favorite now. He is probably the greatest ever. But DC made it a boring functional win. Maintained his aura of a champion though. Imagine if he went for broke and lost.

UFC: Mixed martial arts company sold for a reported fee of $4bn.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), featuring such stars as Conor McGregor, Michael Bisping and Ronda Rousey, has been sold for a fee reported to be about $4bn (£3.1bn).

Talent agency WME-IMG confirmed its purchase of the mixed martial arts promotional company on Monday.

Founded in 1993, the UFC was bought for $2m (£1.55m) in 2001 by brothers Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta.

It calls itself the fastest-growing sports organisation in the world.

"No other sport compares to UFC," said Dana White, who will continue in his role as president of the UFC.

"Our goal has always been to put on the biggest and the best fights for our fans and to make this the biggest sport in the world. I'm looking forward to working with WME-IMG to continue to take this sport to the next level."

The UFC produces more than 40 live events each year and sells out some of the most prestigious arenas around the world.

Shows are broadcast in more than 156 countries and territories, to more than 1.1 billion households worldwide in 29 different languages.

The Fertittas will retain a passive minority interest in the organisation.

I think DC took it easy on Anderson.

Overall a bit of a meh card, but it's not completely uncommon with so many well matched fights, sometimes you get that with main events. The main positives were Aldo looked excellent, and Sea Level Cain was back.

Don't think the Knee just Meisha earlier, it was certainly a punch that broke her nose.

I think 202 might well beat them both.

Dana White is staying on as UFC president, so hopefully Rogan stays

[Gibbo]

Also, also.

This bloke now owns the UFC

Who will get knocked out next fight.
Much as i love Hunt - he was the opponent best suited for Lesnar.

Jedrzejczyk - Gadelha was a fun fight on the TUF finale, very intense and a real clash of styles, enjoyed it more than the UFC200 fights I watched.

UFC 200 was so bad.... Jose Aldo's english was the performance of the night.

[Gibbo]

In quite possibly the least surprising news of the year.

Lesnar has been flagged by USADA

[Nicey]

UFC does not give a **** ... they are very smart selling now because I can see the MMA bubble bursting soon

[Alex]

Lesnar has been flagged for a potential violation.

There's a shock.
