This could be the downfall of the UFC. :(

Dave Meltzer on MMA hour today suspected that Dana White stays aboard after the sale

Really curious to hear if the case or not, and to learn more in general about the details

Read White's shares sold to, and that he will be staying on and getting a stake in new ownership.

That's incredible.

as long as Dana White stays on board then it should be fine. Dana White is gold for the UFC and I don't care what ppl say about him. He has taken the UFC to a place I never thought it would reach.

Sale is good for the UFC but Dana white leaving is bad for the UFC.

I hope he stays after the sale.

Dana has to be replaced if they want a professional company. You don't see the other faces of the leagues on Twitter calling fans stupid, making fun of their pictures, etc. He has also disappeared lately from the press conferences and appearances and the sale amount is going to piss a lot of fighters off and he is going to be the point person for that.
Unions and lawsuits could really hurt the profit, but it could overall help. Before fighters had a hard time putting a $ amount on the UFC, but now they know how much it is worth and can say what 50% or so is worth.
