• Vince McMahon, founder and former chairman of WWE, has resigned from his positions within TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of WWE and UFC, following a lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant.
• Grant alleges that she experienced 'physical and emotional abuse, sexual assault and trafficking' while working at the company. She claims that McMahon coerced her into a sexual relationship under the promise of employment, and that he shared explicit photos and videos of her with other men.
• McMahon has denied the allegations, calling them 'lies' and 'a vindictive distortion of the truth.' He plans to defend himself in court.
• The lawsuit could potentially impact UFC, which is also a division of TKO Group Holdings. Some speculate that the association with WWE and McMahon's misconduct could damage UFC's reputation.
