Boxing Monthly article on the UFC

I'm not sure if any of you have seen this month's copy of Boxing Monthly. It has a short but interesting article on the rising impact of the UFC with an interview with UFC president Dana White.

An unusually well-balanced piece on the subject for a boxing magazine, the article looks at the rise in PPV figures and the surge in advertising interest that has been generated by the UFC with it's exposure on Spike TV.

Dropped in at the end of the article was a small piece on new UFC employee, Marc Ratner. This is a huge deal as Ratner, former Executive Director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, has been instrument in the sanctioning of boxing in the state and, more recently, the legitimisation of MMA in Nevada.

It seems his input will only help the sport gain credibility from here on in.
