UFC Could File Lawsuit Against UCFC
Says their initials are too close to UFC…
UFC Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Marc Ratner recently told MMAJunkie Radio that UFC is considering legal action against the Ultimate Cage Fighting Challenge over copyright infringement.
“We’re always happy to see fans, and we love competition,” Ratner said. “There’s nothing wrong with it. But there’s some copyright infringement problems when they call themselves the UCFC. “We’re looking at that right now, and I’ll say that to the world. It’s too close to our initials, too close to our whole way of doing business.”
The June 27th UCFC show in Pittsburgh drew 5000 fans, a sign that Ratner thinks is positive for MMA’s future in the state.
“They had over 5,000 people there, and it just bodes well,” Ratner said. “I think the Mellon Arena would be a great arena if we were to go there.”
