My recollection is that Worldcom bought out MFS. UUnet was a later acquisition by the Worldcom monster (no, no biases here :-).

MFS acquired UUnet Technologies on 12 August 1996. On 31 December 1996, MFS "merged with and into WorldCom, Inc" although it sure looked like an acquisition to those of us who were watching from the sidelines. -r
