I don't know if anyone else here has noticed this, but I just went on WWE.com and it appears that UFC has bought add space on WWE.com. There was a pic of Lesnar on the right hand side and a banner up top advertising Lesnar Vs. Couture.
Sorry if this has already been posted.

Yeah, pretty odd that UFC is a sponsor of WWE.

Interesting. I'm surprised. Perhaps WWE has just reserved themselves to the fact that they are better off promoting themselves in as a separate thing than UFC, rather than a competitor.

lesnar is on wwe.com again they are talking about how he is the first to hold wwe and ufc gold here is what they have: www.wwe.com/inside/news/8656158LAS VEGAS - In a stunning upset, Brock Lesnar became the first man to capture both the WWE Championship and the UFC Heavyweight Championship when he defeated UFC fan favorite Randy "The Natural" Couture on Saturday night in Sin City. Lesnar, dubbed "The Next Big Thing" upon his arrival in WWE, earned the moniker and his first WWE Championship in 2002 after besting The Rock at SummerSlam. Thanks in large part to the backing of the WWE Universe, the former college wrestling phenomenon went on to regain the title twice, both times against Kurt Angle, once at WrestleMania in 2003 and then six months later on SmackDown. For Lesnar, the road to UFC gold proved surprisingly short. Within roughly six months, the former WWE Superstar climbed to the top of the ultimate fighting heap, capping his ascent with the upset victory over Couture. Critics have noted that many of the fights on the UFC pay-per-view ended in the first round, leaving UFC producers scrambling to fill the three-hour event with content. The dearth of hearty competition left many viewers to watch less prestigious under-card fights and only served to bolster claims that UFC pay-per-view events can often be a "crap shoot" in regards to filling the full three hours. For his part, Lesnar took the encouragment of the WWE Universe and the hard lessons forged during his fiery time at WWE and showed UFC and the world why he is not only a man of mettle but also a former three-time WWE Champion. |

Is that a shot? Because it sure sounds like a shot to me.

Because it sure sounds like a shot to me. Yeah I thought so too when I read it on Sherdog. In a "shoot" environment you can't control how long fights go & I've always looked on getting the undercard fights on the PPV as a bonus. pLUS the simple fact is an undercard fight on 91 Gurgel vs. Riley won the $60K fight of the night bonus so they are talking out their ass. What is WWE on about anyway, they have total control of their matches & still present ppv's with "less prestigious" wrestlers & screw up PPV times |

Advertising Lesnar fight on wwe.com makes sense in my opinion. WWE fans know Lesnar and are likely to be interested in his UFC career and by the PPVs. And I guess WWE doesn't mind collecting these advertising dollars, especially if they see themselves more as an Entertainment company.
