Shane McMahon Signs Deal with UFC?

Shane McMahon to UFC It has been reported that Shane McMahon is in talks with Dana White and the UFC, but the reason why is still unclear. Since Shane announced his resignation from the WWE, it's been widely speculated what it was he would be doing. The wrestling news wires have reported things from two sides of the spectrum. The first thing that came out was Shane was meeting with UFC to make sure the WWE's pay-per-views and the UFC's schedules didn't overlap. This didn't make much sense seeing how UFC holds pay-per-views on Saturdays and the WWE on Sundays.

Now it's being reported that Shane McMahon is meeting with Dana White to buy into the company. Shane is also supposedly going to help expand to the international markets. This might be a bit suspect, as well. Recently, White was negotiating to bring in the biggest fighter in the world, Fedor, but the UFC refused because Fedor's team (M-1 Global) wanted part of the profits. So for Shane McMahon to come in and get some of the profits is a wait and see.

Shane is big into the fight game. He was the main reason why the WWE pursued Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather coming to WrestleMania. He also made an attempt to purchase the Pride organization before they were eventually bought out by the UFC.

We'll keep an eye on the situation and let you know as more information develops.
