Dana White Misses Out WWE-UFC Merger’s Board Of Directors
Dana White’s current job at the UFC doesn’t suggest he’ll take on a new role after the UFC merges with WWE. The merger between these big companies was big news in April, However, details regarding the timing of the merger and its potential impact on the UFC and WWE have been scarce, leading to a lack of information on any changes to White’s role.
The two groups are planning to join together next month. A recent report to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission from the parent company Endeavor named the people who will be on the Board of Directors for TKO Group Holdings.
Vince McMahon and Ari Emmanuel are expected to be on the new board according to SE Scoops. It’s interesting to note that Dana White, who works for the UFC, is not listed.
Notably absent from the board roster are UFC president Dana White and WWE’s chief content officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque.
The restructured TKO board reflects the companies’ intention to handle challenges. Alongside familiar figures such as Emanuel, McMahon, Endeavor’s Mark Shapiro, and WWE’s Nick Khan, the updated board features Steve Koonin, CEO of the Atlanta Hawks, and Jonathan Kraft, president of the Kraft Group overseeing the New England Patriots and Revolution.
