MMA Junkie reports that UFC contracted fighters have received a letter about the sale of the company.
The letter addressed to “Athletes” from “The Zuffa executive team” states that “the athletes, have always been the central focus of the promotion. That will not change.”
The letter goes on to say that the new owners, WME | IMG would focus “on the continued global expansion of mixed martial arts and committed to further promoting you [the athlete] on the global stage.”
That makes it official. https://t.co/whBUODcXaP pic.twitter.com/C0liWVOpqD

Payout Perspective:
The letter comes just a couple weeks after Zuffa sent an internal memo to its employees that the UFC had not been sold. As we know, it was just semantics as Zuffa did not finalize the sale until this past weekend. The likely plan was to make the announcement after Saturday’s UFC 200. The letter is assurance that the new owners will take care of them in the future. Of course, Zuffa does not know if that will be the case.
