Old news but changes nothing for either company.

Curious. When did this happen?

Dana White removed as UFC President following WWE merger

Dana White is no longer president of UFC after being named Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in the wake of his WWE merger under the TKO banner.

The $2.7 Billion Time Bomb Inside The Newly Merged UFC And WWE

The new company, known as TKO Group Holdings, went public this week to great fanfare, but there is massive debt that needs to be refinanced by 2026.
www.forbes.com www.forbes.com
 
The deal was agreed on earlier this year. As far as I am aware, it's only a merge for stock purposes. The actual day-to-day of each company remains largely the same as it has been. Of course, the ownership group could make changes but we'll see.
