Here is one case of the potential couple others that they have to worry about.

a niche sport? everybody likes to watch people fight whether they want to admit it or not. UFC has a monopoly, there's no excuse.
Mma is bigger than boxing in Brazil and possibly Japan. That's it.

Other than the occasional big fight, MMA is most definitely a niche sport.

Also, Canada, Australia, and comparable in the US.

And a lot of people are against blood, gore, violence and combat sports in general.
On nationally televised FOX cards, the UFC is forced to spray paint over any blood on the canvas.

UFC owes money which is the real reason they're trying to sell the company.
Its the real reason their fight ranking makes no sense.
They owe, and they arent making dough, so UFC? Gotta go
To whom do they owe?
Loan money up for payment. I'm guessing a bank or a rich person-group

So the WWE already put in a bid allegedly to buy the UFC 
UFC, Ultimate Fighting Championship, has evolved from fighters using different martial arts skills to all fighters fighting the same mixed martial-arts style.
Something isn't right about the current format. It has an artificial feel about it. MMA is a made up martial art.
I don't think moving the octagon into a boxing ring (PRIDE) would make it better.
These are my opinions for improving the UFC.
What I would like to see is taking away the MMA gloves so fighters are now open handed. All the jiu-jitsu moves went away after the gloves were added.
Taking off the gloves now adds that element back in. Put boxing head gear onto the fighter's head. This would prevent concussions because the fighters don't have gloves on anymore. Punches to the body will hurt more.
Less elements of boxing will be used since fighters don't have gloves on. Hand and arm movements will be faster.

without gloves the state atheletic comissions would sanction nothing, that isnt gonna work
With headgear, it's actually safer. Right now, dudes are still getting KO'ed with kicks to the head. Apparently, it's okay for these state commissions to get kicked in the head without any padding than punched in the head with padding on your fists. I get what you are saying about boxing and mma commissions.
Original UFC had zero gloves, headgear, and foot padding.
