UFC owner Lorenzo Fertitta on MMA in NY & global expansion of UFC

The Fight Nerd talks with the man who who holds the real power in the UFC, Lorenzo Fertitta, and asks him about their plans to bring MMA to New York, as well as around the globe. We also discuss any plans to bring "The Ultimate Fighter" reality series to other countries, if there is room for competition in MMA and the one piece of advice that someone told him that he continues to use every day, and more. Plus, since Zuffa just recently celebrated their 10th year anniversary of running the UFC, I ask Lorenzo if there was a moment where he ever wanted to throw in the towel and be done with MMA for good. Turns out the answer is a big fat yes!

Keep up the good work. You ask questions with depth, as opposed to the insipid ass kissing other interviewers tend to try to pass off as work.
