Just saw that now myself.
It was hacked in the last few days but this looks to be a different problem altogether.

It was hacked, most likely due to the fact the UFC openly supported the SOPA bill

Dana and the interweb have never got along.

Only looked at a list of supporters of SOPA the other day and saw UFC's name on it and thought "wonder when they'll be hacked?"

This has the potential to send the hilarity meter through the roof. Apparently Dana dared the hackers who got in the first time to try again. They took him up on it and succeeded-only this time doing a better job.

I think Dana is being pretty daft here-antagonising nerds is just asking for trouble. With all the controversy over SOPA, I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to try take down the website during a PPV stream-something that could do quite a bit of damage to the UFC's reputation. This could get interesting.
