#2Vince McMahon running the UFC.?? I can already imagine the fighters being introduced with their own theme songs and doing scripted promos before each fight. Wait actually it's not a bad idea. bringing drama in between the fights haha
(the fun kind the day male soap opera level drama)

#3WWE stock was the one stock I legitimately understood enough to make decent profits from. Not totally sure how this will impact that.
It does seem like it's potentially more about setting up a future sale of both companies though, doesn't it? There's now no risk of them potentially competing against each other with sellers (I know they're very different products but they'd occupy the same gap in the market for a lot of buyers, I'd imagine).

#4Seems a bit of a strange marriage but I suppose there is some sense in former UFC fighters being able to extend their careers by hopping over to the WWE.

This already already happens in the UFC. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#8If I were a UFC fan then I would be concerned about the integrity of UFC, given the pure entertainment and narrative focus that an organisation like WWE has.
There will be moments where WWE execs or simply WWE practices and processes will realise that a certain UFC outcome will be much better entertainment. The question is whether or not everyone will forever have the integrity to ignore that as an option and if the dividing line between the two cultures is strong enough to stop the bleed.
Could it maybe work the other way, start to make the WWE more real?
