Yahoo Sports writer Kevin Iole is reporting that co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta has resigned his position as president of Station Casinos to take on a more active role in expanding the UFC’s international endeavors.
Fertitta is expected to focus on developing the international business of the company as the UFC expands into Germany and other European countries, the Philippines and other Asian countries, Australia, and South America.
As mentioned by both Fertitta and company president Dana White in Iole’s report, the move is not a result of White’s performance as president of the company, but rather an indication of how much growth the company has undergone and intends to sustain in the future.
