With others in the company playing a more active role in the organization, and CBS having a bigger influence on the organization its possible that Gary might be out by the end of summer. Santa Monica Capital Partners, the largest shareholder in the company is playing a more active role in the company and defer on some of the company moves.
Although Gary has done a lot to help the organization grow, there might not be a market room for another
Dana White.
Dana White is both good and bad for his company, i'd say more so leaning towards the bad. Thats why they're bringing in one of the fertitta brothers to co-manage the organization because they constantly have to take measures to implement damage control. With Elite XC's recent debacle at the CBS show, i think the shareholders and upper management are feeling the need to do some damage control.
The company has gotten grown to the point where one person,
Gary Shaw, can't run all the strategy and upper management decisions himself.
