    Business As Usual Update: ZUFFA Cleans Strikeforce House, No One Left - UFC NEWS, MMA NEWS | BJPENN.COM

    Now it appears that the UFC/ZUFFA army has assumed a full takeover of operations.

    Word is most SF employee's have been sacked and replaced with former WEC employee's. SF is essentially just a name now. The company merger has begun in earnest. BAU of course.....

    Previous working experiance with Zuffa, no loyalty to the SF brand and more likely to be yes men

    all that's going to happen is more debt for the UFC and another Strikforce like company.

    yea bro agree. but UFC do not have debt im pretty sure that their equity is not financed by debt as there company structure is private and has many assets and shares outside of the UFC
