UFC 300 Pereira vs Hill

There will be fights for two championship belts among the many current and previous champions on the 300th pay-per-view show of the UFC, which is being celebrated. Champion after champion appears at UFC 300. The 300th pay-per-view card of the Ultimate Fighting Championship features combatants that serve as a reminder to fans of the brutal and frequently bizarre reality of mixed martial arts. Twelve fighters in the 13 bouts on the UFC 300 card have held a UFC title at some point in their careers. This is a great way to promote the pay-per-view, which can be purchased in the US for $79.99 with an ESPN+ subscription, and it also serves as a timely reminder of how difficult it is to win a title and capitalize on the fame that comes with it. The current light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira, rose to prominence in a bigger class by positioning himself as a counterbalance to Israel Adesanya, one of the greatest names in the sport.

WWE is rumored to have been sold to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.

 


According to reports, WWE has been sold to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.

WWE, according to DAZN's Steven Muehlhausen, will "return to being private" for the first time since becoming a publicly traded company in October 1999.

Muehlhausen went on to say that it's "unknown if Vince McMahon will return to head of creative, but some people expect him to." He has since deleted the tweet, but other tweets referencing the information remain online.

The news comes just hours after Stephanie McMahon announced her resignation as Chairwoman and Co-CEO, and a WWE press release confirmed that Vince McMahon had been unanimously elected as Executive Chairman of the Board.

Last Friday, the formerly retired McMahon — WWE's controlling shareholder — reinstated himself to the company's Board of Directors and announced that the company was preparing to pursue "strategic alternatives" in order to "maximize value for all WWE shareholders." McMahon's statement was widely misinterpreted as his intention to sell the WWE.

As a result, WWE hired J.P. Morgan will advise the company on a possible sale, with financial analysts naming Comcast, Disney, Endeavor Group Holdings, Amazon, and Netflix as potential buyers of the world's largest wrestling promotion. While there was speculation that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund would enter the bidding, the most recent betting odds released Tuesday predicted Comcast as the leading suitor to purchase WWE.

WWE has yet to confirm or deny DAZN's report of its sale to the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia.
