Lorenzo Fertitta: Repairing the UFC’s wreckage

[@FlashRyu]

Great ending to that video Graham, sharing one of Lorenzo Fertitta's greatest moments with his father with us.

[@watchthe1369]

An interviewer that actually did his homework. Look at the mainmedia interviews, always about tearing down, not information gathering.

[@johnnybennett9685]

He seems like a really nice guy

[@donaldwilson3579]

He's made billions of dollars off ppl thinking that

[@davestuddaman8127]

Business is business. However he did concede to giving Griffin, Hughes, and Liddel jobs after they retired? Yeah Dana was a part of it, but no way that happened without Lorenzo's ok with it too.

[@sijanmali6957]

donald wilson you wouldn't be taking about mma without lorenzo. give credit where it's due. ppl thought he was crazy for investing in ufc. it's easy to fastforward 15 years later and talk as if you knew what's up. it's like trashing steve jobs for making billions off of iphones. what the hell is your point?

[@derekfreeman1505]

Johnny Bennett your delusional then . He's criminal ! Mobster

[@derekfreeman1505]

Dave Studdaman ya n IMG fired half of em when they sold lol pity jobs for not paying em what they were due putting there bodies n minds on the line to make this hypocrites fortune for him .

[@HydroBud98]

They sold the UFC for four billion dollars... crazy.

[@bigmember5908]

almost wonder why they sold it

[@C0MPUTERPHILE]

Licensing Joe Rogans podcast for 100 million increased Spotifys value by 5 billion in less than 2 days.. Almost poetic..

[@pauldavis5665]

They bought it for $2 Million and sold it for $4 Billion. That is quite a profit I would say.

[@gavinbrando8255]

@@pauldavis5665 They really paid 50 plus million with all the investment and losses they had to get through before they finally became profitable. Obviously still turned out to be an amazing deal.

[@beet1508]

That's not even that much that's like selling the NBA or NFL or champions league for 4 billion.. I'd need at least 40 bill

[@daveybaby10]

Seems a genuine nice straight up guy,worked hard and made something from nothing

[@louiecrutchfield8372]

The entire world owes the Fertitta brothers and Dana White for inventing the most exiting sport the world has ever seen

[@fuxthe45th72]

DANA Changed the sport and the business of MMA when he made the hard decision to say goodbye to the few strands of hair he had left.

[@savagej7087]

His father was a mob-connected figure in Texas

[@skinnychef1620]

Prove it.

[@brianarmstrong5051]

Balanise Room Baby there is your proof.......

[@gregterrible]

I heard that Tillman Ferttita father was the same thing.

[@levelup2014]

Literally look up Fertitta family history and all the data is there, they are mob connected and it runs deep

[@laneshaeffer2985]

Lorenzo is a boss!

[@georgegeorgepht]

It’s only money to guys like him. The negotiations and the original buy and sell is why they do what they do. The money is a side effect to the rush of the hunt. The hunt is always better then the kill.

[@tupa12]

Damn wish my dad would have let me invest 45 million of his cash......lol

[@shaunbang]

Wow it’s crazy that the brothers didn’t listen to their billionaire businessman father and proceeded to purchase the UFC and now it’s their biggest success

[@getl0st]

If you have a sore throat, call Lorenzo....

[@ilikedirtx22]

Lozengo

[@shaunbang]

Lmao they used to have events at Universities hahaha i would have loved to be able to see OG UFC events at my own campus! Oh man how times have changed and it’s all thanks to Lorenzo, Frank and Dana. Let’s just hope WME doesn’t try to ruin it as Dana is about to sell his remaining shares and WME is buying out the rest of the shares from the other rinvestors

[@ShodaimeN]

What would UFC be like if Fertitas didnt buy it ?

[@theDavidChannel1]

I would probably still be small time like King of the Cage still is.

[@davestuddaman8127]

It woulda gone outa business years ago.

[@martincapek96]

I wouldn't be a MMA fan today, without a doubt

[@derekfreeman1505]

Estermont Sinclair it woulda been the same . Some other greedy fuck woulda scammed it into existence. Too bad a good honest business man couldn't have then I'd watch it more . Fuck em

[@mikerobertson8540]

The UFC wouldn't exist today, lol.

[@pauldavis5665]

If not for Dana and the Fertitta's the UFC would have died back then which means the entire sport of MMA would not even exist today since all the other smaller MMA promotions that came after only succeeded because of the UFC's popularity and them paving the way for the sport to be sanctioned.

[@jaycuthbert245]

It absolutely would exist. But it would be obscure and kind of seen as a dirty word

[@ElephantRage]

I want to believe Graham dressed up with the lights off that day. That outfit should be punishable by law.

[@kirilNikol0v]

People have different tastes, I think its lit

[@bigmember5908]

UFC, you are going to like the way this suit fits...I garountee it

[@albert121319511]

soon half the roster would be in Bellator

[@Envycolt]

The aged like gold good call.

[@zachsimon9475]

The UFC should have only one round. 30 mins and go.

[@thomasjamison2044]

If I had a friend who invested 2 million in me I guarantee I could start a business that anyone who goes to bar would rather come to mine

[@mdavis1992]

Losers make excuses, successful people don’t.

[@levelup2014]

Yea yea yea go jet a job punk

[@JustKalMate]

"Eddie Alvarez and his bum coach Mark Henry repaired the UFC's wreckage and i'll hear nothing more about it!" - CONOR McGoat PS. "Fuck Mark Henry!!"

[@HydroBud98]

WTF? I don't understand... what are you mad about Homer?

[@johnathancorbett1259]

Homer Simpson mark Henry humped his granny lol

[@EverthingsApple]

FOOK**

[@derekfreeman1505]

Kal Samurai didn't know Conor still had any fans left .. That was just so 2016

[@DTRIPLESOWKOW]

Nice tie Lorenzo 👍

[@bigkountry29]

Reputation??? Reputation of having blood money in connection to the Mafia
