The UFC/ WWE Merger

[AWP]

I thought this was a joke when I first saw the story.

Crossover storylines are gonna' be wild.

Nothing is a joke anymore.

I can't wait to see Rick Flair in the Octagon !!! "To be the man, you gotta beat the man."

Folding chairs in the Octagon?

 

[Ooh-Rah]

This is…disappointing.

You’d think the UFC would want to have no ties to that pro-wrestling silliness.

I can see it in my head...

-Conor McGregor IS officiating a UFC title bout just as the remake of 'Road House' is released in released in US theaters.
-One of the competitors bumps into McGregor, knocking him backwards into the cage
-'The Notorious' one pushes back and starts trash talking
-The competitor bows up and gets in Conor's face
** BAM **
-Out of nowhere, 'The Notorious' Conor McGregor produces a bottle of 'Proper 12' and smashes the bottle right up against that mother fuckers head.
...the locker room empties; fists are flying
...Ronda Rousey is ringside doing an episode of JRE when broken glass and Irish Whiskey covers her and Joe
...Ronda climbs the fence; face red with rage

Mayhem ensues
-Joe Rogan starts doing the play-by-play while live streaming his show
-Rick Flair appears out of nowhere and throws a folding chair over the fence; Ronda uses it to start wailing on mother fuckers
"WOOO"

I cant wait !!!

I just don't see how it benefits Dana White. Although the WWE is financially successful under McMahon, the association with WWE would seem to potentially diminish the brand/legitimacy for UFC. But business is business...those dudes are wealthy for a reason, so I'm sure they've thought it through.

Dana’s made his money. No more fucks to give.
