I doubt much will change, just read Dana White is staying which probably means people like Joe Silva, Dave Sholler etc. will probably be staying.

The winning bidder was a consortium of William Morris Endeavor, Patriots owner Robert Kraft, and the Chinese company Dalian Wanda Group.

Dana White is balling off this deal. Apparently he's cashing out on his 9% of the company and they're going to give him back between 5-7% just to stay on. lol dude made out.

Dude is essentially getting $400 million, then getting back $250 million-ish of the same stock he just sold for free lol

hopefully this sale leads to a more network tv based "sport". you can only grow so much from PPV's. UFC wont grow off that. they focused on "growing" Rousey and McGregor, which don't really grow the sport, just grew them PPV sales. William Morris Endeavor is really on some tv/film shit and i know they used to represent Rousey. them along with the owner of one of the biggest NFL teams can lead to some big shit. if 2 casino owners brought UFC/MMA this far, these new owners can really fuck some shit up.
