@Endeavor, the company that owns the @ufc, was once a small talent agency making waves in New York City at the dawn of the 20th century. They've come a long way since then. Our latest @themaincard

@Billymaxwell98 @ufc And lastly, the exposure for athletes participating in events hosted at the PI’s is how they plan to grow the sport in the particular regions it seems. Basically using the PI as a “hub” for fostering regional talent.

[The Main Card @themaincard]

Last week, the @ufc announced they were building a third PI in Mexico City, so we decided to look at the financial significance of these high-tech (and very expensive) facilities @themaincard

@Billymaxwell98 @ufc As for the cost, it’s free for contracted UFC athletes, but if they bring their team, obviously they have to pay their team as if they were at their own gyms.

[The Main Card @themaincard]

@Billymaxwell98 @ufc These are all awesome awesome questions. As for the employees, the international PI’s are staffed by an employee base from the region (Asian and LATAM workers), so yes they are fostering MMA through the PI staff and not just fighters.

The US Senate may reconsider extending the legendary Ali Act of boxing to protect mixed martial artists. If the law is changed, it would completely alter the landscape of professional mixed martial arts as we know it.
