Today we learn more about several of our competitors, each of whom have new owners or at least controlling investors.
Hawaii-based X-1 is the #15 promotion in the world but will certainly be looking to make a quick ascent thanks to their new owner Mark Cuban.
How do you say "You're Fired" in Japanese? Hang around the offices of Cage Force, the #13 promotion in the world, and you might find out from their new owner Donald Trump
The Donald won't be the only American with a great interest in the MMA scene in Japan, BoDog founder Calvin Ayres has purchased control of all-female promotion JEWELS, but will have a long climb to bring them up from #18 in the world.
The Japanese fight press must be losing their minds trying to keep up today, as #23 ranked promotion Valkyrie also gets a new owner, Russian businessman & fight manager Vadim Finkelchtein.
