Probably not too many readers of The New Yorker on the UG (more of an OG publication I bet). I always am interested in seeing how non MMA publications cover the sport since so many of the current journalists are basically shills or marketers for the UFC at this point.
Thought this article was a good piece overall that takes a look at both MMA and Boxing...

Kind of a pointless article.

I thought it was a good recap and not a puff piece. here's the conclusion for those that think it's in the tldr category...

A few weeks ago, many observers were disturbed by the spectacle of Mayweather, unpunished and unrepentant, earning hundreds of millions of dollars for yet another routine victory. But there’s something disturbing, too, about the way a dominant company like U.F.C. can use its market power to impose new rules on fighters who don’t see themselves as having another option. (Although U.F.C.’s main competitor, Bellator, may be trying to use frustration with the Reebok deal to position itself as a fighter-friendly alternative.) During that Power 106 interview, White struck a dismissive note when asked about fighters voicing dissatisfaction with the Reebok deal. “These guys don’t get it—these guys are short-sighted, sometimes,” he said, adding, “It’ll blow over.” His message is that the change would be good for everyone: the company, the fans, the athletes. It’s certainly possible that the U.F.C.’s system would serve the interests of boxing fans: if White controlled boxing the way he controls M.M.A., he might have forced Mayweather to fight Pacquiao in 2010, and he might also, under pressure, have punished Mayweather for his domestic-violence record. But such a system would almost certainly be worse for Mayweather, and maybe for many other fighters, too: fighting for a living is unpredictable work, and the people who do it aren’t necessarily wrong to be, as White says, “short-sighted.” White, the voice of the U.F.C., evidently sees himself as an advocate for fighters and fans, too. But as 4.4 million households learned on May 2nd, the interests of fans and fighters and fight promoters don’t always align.
Calling the sport Ultimate Fighting was kind of a human cockfighting move :-)
