NEWS FLASH
Ratner quits, will join UFC!
Marc Ratner, long time executive director of the Nevada Athletic Commission is resigning to accept a position with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Ratner will become a vice president with UFC handling regulatory issues. "He's very knowledge about mixed martial arts and he's one of the most knowledgeable guys anywhere about combat sports, and MMA is a combat sport," UFC owner Lorenzo Fertitta told the Las Vegas Review Journal. "Obviously, Marc's reputation is impeccable and his knowledge is first-rate, and people like that are the kinds of people we want working for us." Fertitta is a former memeber of the boxing commission. Ratner's last day with the commission will be May 13.
