On Sunday night, UFC president tweeted out his infamous emoji after agreeing to sell the UFC to WME-IMG for an astonishing $4 billion. While many of the specifics regarding the record-breaking sale are still under wraps, we now have a better understanding of why White is giddy like a schoolgirl.
According to Darren Rovell of ESPN.com, the man who White blasted in May after breaking the news that the UFC was closing in on a sale by stating, “Darren Rovell is not a fan of facts. His facts could not be further off,” is reporting that WME-IMG offered White a five-year contract to retain his post as the UFC frontman.
