Payout Perspective:

Despite March Madness, the UFC put on decent ratings Saturday night.  In between PPVs, the Saturday night UFC card did not feature anyone that would one might consider noteworthy except maybe for Holland who did not impress.

Wait, is this for real? Trump spent $60 million of our taxpayer funds to host a UFC fight and then is selling UFC coin to line his family’s pockets. The Trump corruption swamp is a mile deep.
