With Vinnie's experience and MASSIVE amounts of ties they could take the UFC shows and really put on some jaw dropping events.

All XFL jokes aside, Vince knows how to entertain people. As long as he keeps his fingers out of match making and outcomes I think this would be very cool.
Some good points here instead of blind McMahon hating. the guy took a small regional wrestling organization and turned it into the world's largest...an internationally recognized brand name that ended up killing a serious competitor who had backing from a much richer man than McMahon. Dana has talked glowingly about McMahon in the past simply because he respects what the guy did for rasslin'. And I think he talked about how he uses WWE as a starting point for a blueprint for the UFC (do what WWE did, don't do what boxing did).

If it was true, McMahon would have his hand in the honey pot of MMA, but him deciding creative control issues and calling chicken little might be a little premature.

Why Brock if it has nothing to do with the WWE?

The end is near....if Vince touches MMA, it will lose all credibility and become more of a sideshow.

If you don't believe that, then I feel sorry for you.

If this is true than the UFC will be the first in MSG, Vince McMahon has sold that place out many times and he considers it "Home" out of all of the arena's/

Obviously this could be Good/Bad for the UFC, we will have to wait and see as fans.

For all of you UFC nutthuggers who point out that PRIDE was all roid'd up, what are you going to do in McMahon gets involved in the UFC.

well it makes sense but i am not sure vince would be good for the sport, esp if he is simply there to cash in on the recent sucess of mma.
