UFC leader White needs to learn how to cope with competition

...White surely counted on competition, but there's no way he could have predicted the proliferation of fight organizations. Loaded with cash, but not necessarily good business models, these fly-by-night groups are largely unknown. They have money to make headlines, but no one knows if they'll have the staying power of UFC, which was founded in 1993.

Still, White believes UFC runs the industry, much like promoter Vince McMahon and pro wrestling. That's a false reality. White's obnoxious and pompous comments that degrade the fighters -- he said in one report that he "owns" Couture -- might make for great stories, but he might be helping his own demise...White needs to make the big fights a reality. His feud with Chuck Liddell has turned a cash cow into a sinking ship. Can you imagine boxing promoter Don King or McMahon purposely tarnishing their biggest moneymakers?...More?
