ZUFFA, parent company of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), is not running a mixed martial arts (MMA) monopoly, according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), despite all sorts of claims to the contrary.
The investigation, re-opened last May, is official closed, according to Las Vegas Review-Journal.
"Earlier this year the FTC informed us that it was conducting a non-public investigation, which we believe was instigated by former fighters or their attorneys to bolster a civil action against UFC," Chief Legal Officer Kirk Hendrick said in a statement (via MMA Fighting).
"After meeting with the FTC, we are pleased that they have sent us a letter stating that no further action is warranted and the investigation is now closed.
