Lorenzo Fertitta helped steer the UFC from a broken property into a billionaire-dollar entity.
The former CEO, who led the sale of the UFC to Endeavor in 2016, is now seeking to follow that same blueprint and build a new global sports commodity in the skateboarding realm. More specifically, he plans to do so with Street League Skateboarding.
“Me and Dana [White], when we saw the opportunity with the UFC, we were really excited,” says Fertitta. “It’s really hard to find something in sports that has the potential to be relevant from a global perspective.

Formula 1 returned from a month-long spring hiatus and hit one of the series’ most unique circuits to debut a confusing, frankly nonsensical sprint race weekend format. Some teams — like Ferrari, and specifically Charles Leclerc — looked like they were ready and raring to go.
Others, well, they seemed like they were still in vacation mode.

Antonio Brown to the…Ravens?

Will Levis could only smile so much, as he sat in the NFL Draft green room on Thursday night. One-by-one, players were being drafted while Levis tried to hide his discomfort.

Las Vegas drafted Texas Tech pass rusher Tyree Wilson seventh overall in the NFL Draft Thursday night. And Patrick Mahomes might be wishing he went elsewhere.
While the Kansas City Chiefs superstar is happy for his fellow Red Raider, he’s not thrilled bout the implications.

I can almost hear Lane Kiffin laughing.
While Alabama coach Nick Saban picked among the leftovers of average quarterbacks in the NCAA Transfer Portal this week, the Ole Miss coach might as well have relaxed on a leather sofa. He didn’t need to add anybody.
