Adam Swift has an interesting article about Zuffa's credit rating drop. Appearently Zuffa is experiencing returns that are "below expectation." Below is the lead in to his story:
Standard & Poor's, a leading financial services company, cut Zuffa's credit rating in a report issued Tuesday. The downgrade from "BB" to "BB-" was the result of the company's weaker than expected performance in the third quarter of 2007. This marked "the second consecutive quarter of operating performance that was meaningfully below [S&P's] expectations."
