<p>Lorenzo Fertitta é um dos homens por trás do sucesso do Ultimate Fighting Championship. Depois de comprar a organização por 2 milhões de dólares, em 2001, e injetar mais 44 milhões, hoje a marca UFC vale algo em torno de um bilhão de dólares.</p>
<p>Aos 41 anos, Fertitta está na lista dos bilionários mais jovens dos EUA segundo a revista Forbes. O empresário, investidor de cassinos em Las Vegas, figura ao lado de nomes como Mark Zuckerberg, do Facebook; Jerry Yang, do Yahoo; e Larry Page e Sergey Brin, do Google. Por isso, chamou a atenção do jornal “Valor Econômico”, uma das principais publicações no Brasil focadas em Economia. Fertitta, entre outras coisas, explicou o porquê do sucesso da organização em todo o mundo.</p>
<p>&#8220;A maioria dos esportes não se traduz muito bem entre diferentes culturas. Mas quando você coloca dois caras em um ringue, podendo usar qualquer estilo de luta, isso é entendido por qualquer um&#8221;, diz.</p>
<p>Comprar o evento, que estava em baixa, foi motivado mais devido à paixão pela luta do que pela visão de um negócio lucrativo. Um dos primeiros passos foi mudar a imagem do MMA, com a criação de novas regras, entre outras coisas.</p>
<p>&#8220;Eu e meu irmão (Frank) treinávamos Jiu-Jitsu e tínhamos contato com alguns lutadores”, diz o empresário, que faz questão de desassociar MMA e violência:</p>
<p>&#8220;Culpar o MMA e o UFC pela violência de algumas pessoas é a mesma coisa que culpar a Fórmula 1 pela imprudência de alguns motoristas nas ruas&#8221;, compara.</p>
<p>Com as mudanças impostas e investimentos o UFC hoje prospera, seja na venda de pay-per-view, produtos licenciados, programas de TV e venda de ingressos, entre outros negócios.</p>
<p>&#8220;Nos Estados Unidos, já temos três vezes mais pay-per-view do que o boxe.&#8221;</p>
<p>Onde isso vai parar?</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/culpar-o-mma-pela-violencia-e-como-culpar-a-formula-1-pela-imprudencia-dos-motoristas/">“Culpar o MMA pela violência é como culpar a Fórmula 1 pela imprudência dos motoristas”</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_23632" style="width: 477px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/lorenzo-fertitta.jpg"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-23632" class="size-full wp-image-23632" title="lorenzo fertitta" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/lorenzo-fertitta.jpg" alt="" width="467" height="269" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-23632" class="wp-caption-text">Lorenzo in photo by Josh Hedges.</p></div>
<p>Lorenzo Fertitta is one of the driving forces behind the success of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. After purchasing the promotion for two million dollars in 2001 and then injecting another 44 million into the company, the UFC is now worth something to the tune of one billion dollars.</p>
<p>At forty-one years of age, Fertitta is on Forbes magazine&#8217;s list of youngest billionaires in the USA. The Las Vegas casino owner figures among Facebook&#8217;s Mark Zuckerberg, Yahoo&#8217;s Jerry Yang, and Google&#8217;s Larry Page and Sergey Brin. That&#8217;s how he caught the attention of Valor Econômico, one of Brazil&#8217;s leading economics magazines. Fertitta among other things addressed the reason&#8217;s behind the organization&#8217;s worldwide success.</p>
<p>“Most sports don&#8217;t translate too well into other cultures. But when you put two guys in a ring and let them use any fighting style they want, that anyone can understand,” he says.</p>
<p>The purchase of the event at the time in the doldrums was motivated more by the passion for the sport than for any belief in it as a lucrative business. One of the first steps taken was to give MMA a makeover, changing its image by introducing rules, among other things.</p>
<p>“My brother (Frank) and I practiced Jiu-Jitsu and knew some fighters,” says the businessman, who goes out of his way to disassociate MMA and violence:</p>
<p>“Blaming MMA and the UFC for some people&#8217;s violent behavior is the same as blaming Formula 1 for the imprudence of some drivers on the road,” he says, drawing a simile between two globally-popular sports.</p>
<p>With the changes made and investment, the UFC now prospers, whether in pay-per-view sales, trademark products, television shows or tickets sales.</p>
<p>“In the United States we already have three times the pay-per-view sales boxing does.”</p>
<p>Where will it end?</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/blaming-mma-for-violence-is-like-blaming-formula-1-for-drivers-imprudence/">“Blaming MMA for violence is like blaming Formula 1 for drivers’ imprudence”</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>
