This may or may not mean anything, but if he were going to get involved with the company it would make sense for him to attend a live event in order to get a feel for the fan base, production quality, etc.
I imagine they got to know Lesnar a little bit when he worked for them. Maybe he invited them. I wouldn't read too much into that.

If the rumor is true, McMahon is not going to fix MMA fights in America. All you people that talk about fixed fights, do you know how long you go to prison for fixing a sporting event that is being wagered on? Vince doesn't want to spend the rest of his days behind bars anymore than the rest of us do. The thing that might get stupid is if they do any UFC-WWE cross promotions.

McMahon did start the XFL. He has tried to cross over to legitimate sporting events in the past. The XFL was not the best product, but I don't remember anyone thinking it was fixed.

*Annoucement* Dana and Vince McMahon bought the UFC from Zuffa

There goes the UFC
I agree with Juggo.
I used to watch WWF growing up, and McMahon is an ass, he may have made something out of WWF/WWE, but Dana doesn't need his help, UFC is already the #1 sport.
I think McMahon went to Dana cause he knows his sport is dying.
It would be a HUGE MISTAKE to get Vince in this at all.

If he's a minority owner is going to use his influence to get MMA sanctioned in NY, how could he be bad?

The man can run a company and market his company. Dana will still be running the UFC.
