UFC will layoff ‘approximately 60-80 employees’ in major shakeup

Over the past few weeks, we’ve heard news of Joe Silva’s pending departure from the UFC, Dave Sholler accepting a role with the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers, and Giovani Decker leaving his post as the UFC’s head man in Brazil. All of this has come on the heels of the UFC’s $4 billion sale to WME-IMG, and there will be many more changes on the horizon.

MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani reports that a slew of layoffs have been made (and will continue to be made) by the UFC.

According to multiple sources, the UFC is laying off a significant amount of their employees.
