The following is a note from today's news update over at WrestlingObserver.com:
The long-rumored deal between Bob Meyrowitz, the owner of UFC from 1993-2001, and Live Nation, the leading event promoter in North America, has been signed, and the two will be starting a new MMA promotion. More details, including the name, goals, first event and more should be announced within two weeks.

You get your mma news from a wrestling website?

That made me laugh, I watch wrestling with my little brother and check up some of the rumors for him since I don't follow it like I use to just so i know whats going on, Saw this as one of their headlines figured some people might like to note it or whatever. |

Meyrowitz has tried a million different things to make money and most of them fell through. I don't see this working any better. Everyone is trying to jump into the market and very few are actually managing to compete enough to stay afloat.

It would be nice to have more legitimate events.

Competition would be good, however I do not want to see a situation arise where each new company signs one big fighter that bangs with scrubs all the time.
I wish MMA would turn into what the old Regional Professional Wrestling Organizations used to be back in the day when they worked territories and split profits for shows. Impossible I'm sure, but I can dream.
