but just a minor portion to Sheik Tahnoon Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the son of the former United Arab Emirates president Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Sheik Tahnoon is well known throughout the grappling community as the founder of the no-gi submission Olympics, the Abu Dhabi Combat Club. Himself a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Renzo Gracie, Shiek Tahnoon has been a long time supporter and practitioner of Jiu-Jitsu.

I'm a little shocked that the stubborn UFC is entertaining bringing in outsiders. It's best for growth potential obviously, but I'm still a bit surprised...

I seriously doubt Dana had a whole lot to do with this move.

Wait, you mean Dana isn't the brain child behind the UFC and isn't making each and every decision on his own? Shit, what are you going to tell me next?... Doogie Howser prefers dick?

I guess this will good for expanding into the AUE market. Makes me wonder though if Zuffa is trying to cash out or just expand the UFC considering it wasnt that long ago they were having talks with Shane McMahon.

I think Dana runs the everyday operations of the UFC but financial decisions involving the company as a whole probably don't involve him that much.

Zuffa isn't looking to cash out, simply expand, and they chose a guy who founded the ADCC. McMahon talks were probably related to him being able to help in marketing IMO.

This is cool. This connects the largest promotion with ADCC. I could easily see both ADCC and K1 eventually becoming less their own sports and more or less MMA's individual grappling and striking championships.
