A UFC spokesman has shot down reports that the company has been sold for US$4.2 billion dollars (NZ$5.9B).
UFC vice-president of public relations, athlete marketing and development Dave Sholler sent a statement to Yahoo Sports late Tuesday denying the claims.
Sholler's statement said "FloCombat.com's report indicating that the UFC has been sold is false."
"We've communicated that to our staff members tonight via an internal memo."
Sholler would then not answer any questions and UFC president Dana White declined to comment.
