UFC President Dana White has consistently emphasized the organization`s forward-thinking approach, particularly regarding collaboration with tech giants like Mark Zuckerberg.
This week marked the formalization of this vision as UFC announced a multi-year agreement with Zuckerberg`s Meta corporation, prioritizing advancements in “fan technology.” White also indicated that this collaboration is expected to lead to a revamp of the UFC ranking system, although specific modifications and their implementation remain undisclosed.
While not explicitly mentioned in the recent press release, White has previously suggested that algorithmic rankings could be the optimal solution for ensuring accurate fighter placement. He implied that current ranking systems are not as effective.
Fans have expressed skepticism about whether this partnership will genuinely enhance the viewing experience or if it`s primarily aimed at increasing revenue for TKO Group Holdings.
