Well look who's getting cozy with one another.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White was recently in Stamford, Conn., at World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) headquarters to rub elbows with the Chairman of the Board of the sports entertainment conglomerate, Vince McMahon.
White, who has called McMahon an "animal" and admitted to looking up to him and following the business model he used to make WWE a booming success, stated that Vince is "the guy that basically created the pay-per-view market," according to USA Today.
No word on exactly what White was in town to discuss but there's no shortage of speculation. Perhaps Brock Lesnar, who has recently been rumored to sign a deal with WWE for rights to manufacture toys and DVD's and such?
Not to mention that little confrontation with Undertaker back at UFC 121. You wanna do it?
Of course, there's always the chance the two companies could come together for a blockbuster agreement of some sort, which was briefly rumored as a potential collaboration on a television deal. Both organizations are reportedly in discussions to purchase their own cable channels.
Anything could happen, right?


Got to bet it has something to do with Brock, and WWE wanting to see if he can get out of his contract to come back. Really can't see it being anything else.

Just the DVD and other stuff of that sort so they can market him. Lesnar won't leave UFC until he knows he can't go in the Octagon. The thing is when he sees his skill diminishing he could probably compete in WWE at a high level for 10 more years. I think when he sees his paychecks drifting away, he'll be back again. That is still awhile ago, though.

I think at most they may work out something where he'd guest appear on WWE programming a few times or mania. Other than that yeah it's mostly just merch stuff probably.

Yeah i think it's just Vince trying to make a DVD or something on Brock, so basically what you guys were saying.
