Endeavor looking to buyout owners, gain total control of UFC

The New York Post is reporting that Ari Emanuel is making plans for Endeavor - of which he is the CEO - to buyout the other shareholders in UFC Holdings.

Currently Endeavor owns 50.1 percent of the UFC and is looking to buy the remaining 49.9 percent, the majority of which is held by the investment firms Silver Lake and KKR. According to the Post, 40 percent of the UFC is owned by these two firms. Meanwhile a 2019 SEC filing reported that they each owned “22.9 percent of the coming equity interest of UFC Parent,” or 45.
