I agree. In the boxing world, they count 21 world pro associations...
In the MMA, there is only the UFC and if there are others, I don't hear about them. Breaking their MMA monopoly wouldn't be a bad idea and with the name and respect he has in the business, announcing that he will fight in his new potential league would attract instantly PPV and maybe HBO contracts along with good fighters from the UFC.
If he can partner with Anderson Silva for example who is about the retire with UFC, his new league would have 2 world MMA champions to attract great fighters.
Dana White said many times that GSP has made many millions with the UFC and PPV but having a 2nd UFC in the MMA business would be a good way to retire while growing old.

Merlin Eh,
Makes perfect business sense, why settle for a piece of the pie, when you can have the whole pie! Sure he can see the profitability of all the merchandising --, as well . What a business opportunity such a merger could bring ,Could usher in a whole new era, for the UFC, similar to when the Gracies burst upon the scene..
Our boy Stiverne defends his WBC Heavyweight Championship title against Wilder Saturday.
Poor Stiverne starts with at least 6 inches shorter so here we go again and he's 239 lb vs 219 for Wilder.
Now some will say that being more heavy can deliver a bigger punch but to me leaner means you can be faster on your feet and being taller means longer arms and better reach on top of that, it will hard for Stiverne to win this one unless he goes for the uppercut because he's shorter.

No because I found a local TV network that will show the fight so instead of going to free website I will watch it live on TV in 3 minutes now (10:30 Pm Est.).
Yeah that one! Yellow sock guy got knocked down 4 times total I believe. Idk how he kept getting up. Every single knockdown was a clean, hard shot. I'm sure he got some good brain damage from that.
