Can I use the domain UFCFanatic.com

    I am sure UFC is copywrited by the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Do you think I will run into problems with UFCFanatic.com website? While UFC is a trademark it is also a commonly used term that shouldn't be patenable in my opinion.

    Not sure if you can use it or not, but I believe the lack of reply it's because you posted in the wrong forum.

    This is more likely a legal issue or a domain related question.

    Yes, I think you can use it, but it's usually up to the original owner of that trademark. If they want fans, they won't mind.

    UFC is hardly a commonly used term, it's used for one reason to describe the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

    MMA on the other hand is a commonly used term.

    Why restrict yourself to discussing UFC, there are other and better MMA orgs out there.
