Chaos in the field of combat sports! THE Conor McGregor posted a photo on social media holding his championship belts UFC and his WWE writing: “Congratulations to the UFC who are now worth $12 billion. The Endeavor Company is ready to acquire WWE as well. Unbelievable!».
This post from the Irish MMA athlete followed a flurry of rumors that Endeavor, which owns the UFC, is close to buying WWE. According to CNBC, he will acquire a 51% stake, while existing WWE shareholders will retain 49%.
The publication states that Endeavor owner Ari Emanuel will be the boss of the new company, while Vince McMahon will be chairman. Dana White will remain UFC president and Nick Kahn will continue as WWE president.
It is worth noting that Paul Heyman, a historical executive of WWE, commented on McGregor’s post that “… he’s a fictional Roman Reigns” (s.b. referring to the wrestling star), with the Irishman replying: “Be careful, grandpa. I will appear and break your jaw in three places».
