Zuffa, LLC

Got charged $ 99 for a monthly auto renewable subscription to ufc fightpass. It was advertised as 7.99 a month. That math doesn’t add up, plus it is false advertising. That is not a monthly subscription, it is a yearly subscription. Hoping I can cancel this crap, because my so called subscription doesn’t even show up on the ufc website. What a rip off.

This organization has created so much revenue for the city of Las Vegas. Dana White has truly helped the Las Vegas economy.

Well, the company it owns has been around for a decade (pre-​dates Zuffa, who acquired UFC® from SEG), and yet there are no reviews for Zuffa, which is headquartered right behind the In-​N-​Out on Sahara.
It is ludicrous that I am the first to review, since I have harboured deep disdain for Zuffa on and off for years (depending on what stupid shit they do), but I suppose I shall. Having wasted my fair share of time watching and money attending events and expos, I do not see why I shouldn’t.
The first event I was able to attend live was UFC® 64, where Anderson Silva was first crowned Middleweight Champion. It was not my first MMA event, but it sure was on another level compared to the smaller (and even the big) events in Hawai’i. I was fortunate enough to receive an invite from another Unilocaler (Kevin P.) to go attend whichever numbered event it was where Silva was knocked dead by Weidman.
In between I have been there to watch Lesnar take over the Heavies (I walked out, because I do not boo fighters); numerous changes of titles in Light Heavy; GSP reign supreme in the Welters; and some of the changes at Light (most in that weight class happened outside of Las Vegas). I even watched the Feathers and whatever the hell is below under a different company that Zuffa briefly owned before liquidating it into the Big Promotion: WEC®.
Zuffa has not been perfect. They feuded (and still currently blacklist) one of the most liked fighters of all-​time: Randy «Captain America» Couture; they fired a top-​ranked fighter for retweeting someone else’s joke. They played favourites for years and in many ways still do with fighters they want to shield by booking stylistic mismatches in their favour.
They fired Matt Lindland for being too good and therefore being a possible threat to dethroning Anderson Silva in a «boring» way before his legend could grow among the TUF®-era fanboys. (Don’t get me started on The Ultimate Fighter®.) They bought up and then threw away/​swallowed some of the best organisations that existed outside of the UFC®.
Through it all, I am still a fan. Of the sport, and by proxy: the company.
In fact, I have even been inside the headquarters. It really is not much of a gym, but it was still interesting to later see Iron Mike Tyson on Youtube walk around and marvel at the bags that I did not give more than a cursory glance (I am no striker). — E
