I just noticed that they are making UFC toys going forward. Not sure if this was mentioned. Jakks Pacific signs Ultimate Fighting license - MSNBC Wire Services - MSNBC.com

Vince McMahon being involved in MMA could definitely harm the legitimacy of MMA to the non-viewer. People already think it's "similar to pro-wrestling."

Who thinks that? I dont know anyone who thinks Chuck is like the undertaker. Im pretty sure everyone today knows that one is real and one is fake.

If this is true then get ready for MMA to blow up. Vince and his people are marketing geniuses. They have made billions of dollars off of something that very few will admit to watching and most people say is retarded and juvenile. Can you just imagine what they can do with a product that the masses arent afraid to admit they watch?

I'm not sure what to think about this ... I mean the New York thing with McMahon is a plus for MMA and the UFC but I don't think that's worth selling the UFC for ?? Zufa must be getting a shit load of money and shares if they go public like they say they're trying to do ..

One thing I can say is ... you thought Dana White had a big ego then .. wait until what we see from Dana in the near future if this is true .. there won't be enough room for anyone and Dana's head in the same room !!

yet maybe but now the Donald is involved...
