LAS VEGAS – As a Las Vegas-based business co-owned by casino magnates Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta, the UFC and its executives must be transparently clear when it comes to the legitimacy of their contests.
MMA website CagePotato.com recently learned that lesson the hard way when a satirical photo caption prompted a formal demand for retraction.
Yet UFC president Dana White has recently made it a point to announce via Twitter each week the betting lines for bouts on “TUF: Live.” Is it a conflict of interest? White certainly doesn’t think so.
