(Reuters) - The owner of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is exploring a sale of the promotion company that popularized cage fighting, according to an ESPN report that UFC's president later denied on Tuesday.

Dana White, UFC president, later told The Las Vegas Review-Journal that UFC was not for sale and called the ESPN report "overblown."
