Dana White and the UFC have announced a multi-year partnership with Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta corporation to enhance “fan technology” and potentially overhaul the UFC ranking system, although details on specific changes remain unclear, while fans express skepticism about the partnership’s impact on their viewing experience.
Dana White and the UFC are always looking ahead. They’ve teamed up with Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta to focus on “fan technology.” Exciting, right?
This partnership is set to bring big changes, especially in how fighters are ranked. White hinted at a revamped ranking system but didn’t spill all the beans yet.
Interestingly, AI wasn’t mentioned this time, but White has talked about algorithmic rankings before. Maybe that’s the secret sauce? Who knows.
Fans, though, are a bit skeptical. Will this really enhance their experience or just line TKO’s pockets? Time will tell.
