It has been confirmed today that WWE Executive Vice President of Global Media, Shane McMahon met with a number of high ranking officials over at Zuffa’s headquarters a week ago, possibly to discuss him moving into the world of MMA.
When the Wrestling Observer questioned UFC President, Dana White about the meeting he declined to comment.
Shane, who will be leaving his post in the WWE as of January 1st, is known to be interested in getting involved with the mixed martial arts world and with Dana last month admitting they would consider selling 10% of the promotion off to the right investor it could mean that we see a McMahon step into the octagon sometime soon.
Right i will start off by saying i know F'all about WWE and the role played Shane Mcmahon plays in the company, however reading from others people comment on MMA websites, Shanemac is adept at international promotions and has a foothold in some tough markets. The Zuffa could offer him a small piece for major $$$$ and he in turn would use his pull to get the UFC in markets they may have a difficult time getting into on their own. A win win scenario.
The WWE has strong footholds in alot of countries already and what better man to help extend that and to further expand that current foothold for the UFC, none other than the top man currently doing it in the WWE, especially since he wants to join by the looks, from what I have read he seems burnt out in the WWE environment. But what better man to have helping the UFC gain a stronger foothold in the international scene? Win win?
Bring on Hulk Hogan vs Brock Lesnar 2.... in the cage brother!!
