Ultimate Fighting Championship owner Endeavor Group Holdings Inc. and WWE are combining to create a $21.4bn sports entertainment company.

Under the deal, Endeavor will hold a 51% controlling interest in the new company, while existing WWE shareholders will hold 49%.

The news comes after Vince McMahon, founder and majority shareholder of WWE, returned to the company in January and said it could be up for sale. There had been speculation that companies such as Disney, Fox, Comcast, Amazon and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund could be interested.

So the dodgy acting and scripts will now be in UFC as well then 🙄
