As everyone knows, the World Championships are being held in Las Vegas, the home of the UFC. And with all the former wrestlers, who are killing it in the cage, it's pretty easy to see why the UFC would want to be involved with the world's oldest sport. 

With that, USA Wrestling announced that the UFC will be sponsoring the 2015 World Championships.
