commentsBut if it was reportable, the government would analyze the transaction under the Horizontal Merger Guidelines, and under those guidelines, the deal would be in trouble. Strikeforce is the only other major player in an already concentrated industry. By acquiring Strikeforce, the UFC would be far more likely to be able to maintain a "small but significant, nontransitory increase in price" than it would be before. Translated into English, if the Strikeforce deal makes it more likely that the UFC can either pay its fighters 5% less or raise the price of pay per views 5% (about $3), or charge networks like Ion and Spike 5% more, than the the merger should be blocked. I think it's highly likely that the deal does grant UFC such additional market leverage.
CP should do their own 'hottest' bracket with ring girls or women fighters. Sure it'll make them hate us even more and the comments section will probably bring to tears even the hottest girl on there if she read it, but hey why stop pissing people off now? Am I right?
