Previously, the Ultimate Fighting Championship introduced a segment called ‘Celebrity Cam’, where the camera focuses on every celebrity present in the crowd during a pay-per-view match. This is one of the reasons for the UFC gaining even more endorsements from celebrities. However, in 2016, Mark Wahlberg, Tom Brady, and Robert Kraft were welcomed as the new owners of UFC as a part of WME/IMG’s acquisition of the promotion. They acquired the company for about $4 billion dollars.
Dana White expressed his gratitude to the investors. He said, “Our new investors bring an incredible depth of knowledge and experience to help us continue to elevate this brand and capitalize on its entertainment and sports crossover appeal.”
