Vince McMahon has veto power over UFC decisions.

[Oris79]

McMahon is now the Executive Chairman of TKO, and one of five WWE representatives on an 11-strong board. Nick Khan, meanwhile, is now the WWE President, in a similar role to the one Dana White will fulfill on the UFC side.

McMahon is to hold veto power in his new role, which could potentially be used in UFC decision making.

The "Literally nothing will change" crowd is squirming now.

Expect matchmaking to go even further towards sports entertainment than legitimate sport.

It's not scripted.

It's choreographed.

Conor title shot incoming

Dana screwed Dana!

Whether or not people like Vince, it's hard to dispute he isn't short of a genius in what he does. Perhaps one of his biggest weaknesses is micromanagement. He doesn't really know how to handle day to day booking of the wrestling side as well as someone like HHH. What he does do very well is keep the brand alive and maintain global market interest. He's getting old now, and hopefully he will stay away from the micro side of the mma business. He's pretty smart, I think he will stay away.

I just really want to see Nailz in UFC, he was strong.

I really hope they don't attempt to insert that pro wrasslin retardation into the UFC.

I'm sure there is some overlap of fanbase but probably nowhere near as much as they think.

But, but… Dana is the CEO

UFC is dying confirmed

It's already there

It'd be nice if he helped bring in the flashier entrances like in Pride, those were all based on pro-wrestling.

It's funny most people here talk about how cool the Pride entrances were then say how much they hate the WWE.

This.

they will have an agenda to increase revenues by any means necessary. Vince knows how to make money in the “entertainment“ industry, so his influence will definitely be felt in the UFC.

Good, more fun matchups.

 

[svmr_db]

UFC & WWE are going to continue to run as separate entities, these stories are just to get you guys squeaming thinking Vince would go over Dana's head and force UFC to turn into some WWE hybrid.

Nailz Vs Lee Murray would do big business

 

[Shoguns Prodigy**]

Get ready for some cross overs.
