Currently the biggest UFC card may be happening outside the octagon and the main event? How about ESPN’s Darren Rovell taking on UFC president Dana White.
Rovell has maintained that UFC is up for sale as recent speculation has suggested that the World’s top MMA organization could go for as much as $250 million dollars.
Hey @danawhite, once you hire an investment back to give out your financials, it's hard to say you're not for sale.

We had three different independent sources that said that UFC volunteered a full year EBITDA of in between $200M & $250M to investors.

Judging alone from Rovell’s tweets, White isn’t having any of it or is simply playing the media game until a buyer is confirmed. White double downed though making mention that Rovell isn’t a ‘fan of facts’.
Both Rovell and White also appeared on the Dan Patrick Show (unfortunately not together) where both stuck to their guns. The UFC president however did shed some light on possibilities suggesting the UFC could expand into China which could bring a potential sale of some stake in the MMA company.
