The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

did it also mention the fact that UFC is suing them for shady information gathering. and of course they did it just before being able to sign their TV deal with FOX.
short version:
Shamus has friendly relationship with 2 former UFC heads. Hired them to start IFL. according to UFC they had non-competition contracts upon release from UFC. UFC claims they sent inside info of business management to IFL and even provided backstage all access passes to Shamus and company. a couple of other shady accusations.
also, charges filed in Nevada, UFC home. Shamus might get squashed before getting anything done.
only upside i heard about, Bas Rutten was gonna work for them. BAS RULES!!

There's a reason why it's called, "Martial Arts" and not "Martial SPORTS."
