After selling for more than $4 billion and opening a gorgeous new corporate campus headquarters complete with high-tech training center, the Las Vegas-based professional MMA fight club that produces better TV programming than most networks just doesn't dominate the local sports headlines like it used to in Las Vegas now that the Raiders are building their $1.8 billion domed football stadium and the Golden Knights are spinning a Cinderella first-year tale.
But don't feel too bad for WME-IMG's Ultimate Fighting Championship.
UFC 219 on Saturday features an intriguing women's featherweight title fight pitting Chris "Cyborg" Justino against Holly Holm, best-known for walloping UFC's biggest mainstream star, Ronda Rousey, at UFC 193 in Nov. 2015.
