Top-Ranked Heavyweights Ngannou and Blaydes Collide to Headline Ufc Beijing on Saturday, November 24 TOP-RANKED HEAVYWEIGHTS NGANNOU AND BLAYDES COLLIDE TO HEADLINE UFC BEIJING ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24 BEIJING, CHINA – UFC® today confirmed its first-ever event in Beijing, China, will be headlined by top-tier heavyweights, with both men eagerly planning to use this matchup to enter the title contention zone. In a highly anticipated rematch between no. 4-ranked heavyweight Francis Ngannou (11-3, fighting out of Las Vegas, USA) and no. 3-ranked Curtis Blaydes (10-1, fighting out of Chicago, USA), these two standout competitors will be looking to make a statement on Saturday, November 24 at the Cadillac Arena. Tickets for UFC FIGHT NIGHT® BEIJING: NGANNOU vs. BLAYDES, Presented by General Tire, are on-sale now via Damai.cn and 247tickets.com. This will be the second time that “The Predator” Ngannou and “Razor” Blaydes meet inside the world-famous Octagon®, with their first fight ending with Ngannou, a native of Cameroon capturing the victory by TKO after the second round in April 2016. Since this win, Ngannou has decisively won four of his last six fights, with three knockouts and one submission, all in the first round. Two years later, Blaydes has gone on to defeat heavyweight legends including Mark Hunt and former Strikeforce® heavyweight champion and interim DREAM heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem. With a four-fight winning streak powering him, the Chicago standout will be looking to continue his rise to the top and potentially earn his place in front of heavyweight champion and UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier. “After our sellout debut in Shanghai last November, we are thrilled to host our second event in Mainland China,” UFC VP of Asia Pacific Kevin Chang said. “Our main event features two top ranked heavyweights with huge title implications, and together with our rising Chinese stars, UFC Fight Night Beijing on November 24th will be a night to remember.” UFC is working together with Endeavor China, a subsidiary of Endeavor, to deliver the live event. “Endeavor China is excited to once again bring UFC – the world’s premier professional MMA organization – to Chinese audiences.

  • Antitrust As Antiracism
    ANTITRUST AS ANTIRACISM: ANTITRUST AS A PARTIAL CURE FOR SYSTEMIC RACISM (AND OTHER SYSTEMIC “ISMS”) Joshua P. Davis,* Eric L. Cramer,** Reginald L. Streater, Esq.*** & Mark R. Suter*** SYNOPSIS We usually think of antitrust law as addressing violations of free market norms, not equality norms. The two, however, may be related. Systemic racism (and other systemic “isms”) are about power and its abuse. So is antitrust law. Moreover, antitrust may be able to fill gaps left by antidiscrimination law. In particular, antitrust law can address: (1) entire markets, not just individual firms or discrete actions; (2) power imbalances from differences in capital, not just disparities in compensation; (3) financial allocations between owners and workers, not just between workers; (4) legal violations that shrink total worker pay, and do not just distort its allocation. Antitrust law also relies on centrist free market principles. Those may be less controversial than tackling issues of race directly. To be sure, in part for that reason, antitrust laws are limited. They can at best remedy a small portion of the potential wrongs caused by systemic racism. But antitrust may nevertheless contribute valuably to systemic racial equality. It also may provide a model for how antidiscrimination law might be reframed to make it more effective in that regard. * Professor and Director, Center for Law and Ethics, University of San Francisco School of Law. ** Chairman, Berger Montague PC. *** Associate, Berger Montague PC. I. Introduction We usually think of antitrust law as addressing violations of free market norms, not equality norms. The two, however, may be related. Systemic racism (and other systemic “isms”) are about power and its abuse.
