UFC Monopoly - Next Move: The Gracie's

The UFC has continued their monopoly on the world of mixed martial arts as they now move to the Gracie Family.

The Gracie family has a Youtube channel in which their focus is to breakdown and demonstrate certain submissions. The channel sees the most traffic following UFC bouts as they usually explain the 'Submission of the Night.'

This comes on the heels of the UFC announcing their DVD line in honor of the Gracie Family.

"When you go out and you get on a YouTube or one of these huge portals where you can download content and show content – if you use copyrighted material, we've spent lots of money to make sure there are people out there that take that stuff down," White told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).

Gracie, the son of UFC co-creator Rorian Gracie, produced a series of videos for YouTube with his brother Ryron that he said were meant to educate and entice MMA fans by demonstrating techniques used in the UFC. The videos, which he said drew between 50,000 and 100,000 views per episode, often included snippets of footage from UFC fights.

White, who was traveling to Chicago on Tuesday and caught wind of the situation when Gracie sent him a message on Twitter, appreciates the intention behind the videos, but he said the brothers erred in not gaining permission to use the footage.
