I was wondering what you guys (UK) thought about the UFC's bullying tactics towards Cage Rage and other promoters (FX3) including the law suit. I can't speak for everyone in the States but personally I can't stand Zuffa and Dana White. I think its crap like this that turns everyone against the US.

Zuffa own the trademark ULTIMATE FIGHTING and are trying to get Cage Rage to stop using it. They will win. I think its fine, UFC are a business and as such are protecting their trademarks.

Sounds a little dodgy, especially trying to trademark the term 'ultimate fighting', but the UFC did kinda start it all, and as Andy said, it's a business, so they will go a bit mad sometimes, all business's do.

It'll be interesting to see what happens and what impact it'll have, quite a backlash I can imagine in the UK if people put their heads together.

i doubt they'll be a backlash, UFC appeals to the general public who may not even heard of Cage Rage.
