ESPN executive attends UFC 100 as 'personal guest' of Dana White

While ESPN's investigative unit may have been banned from receiving credentials (not like they do journalism anymore) that doesn't mean that a major ESPN executive couldn't attend UFC 100, as Dana White's personal guest. 

BloodyElbow is reporting that John Skipper, the Executive Vice President in charge of content, attended UFC 100 as Dana White's personal guest. 

The presence of an ESPN suit will inevitably lead to speculation that the UFC is attempting to reach a television deal with ESPN or ABC. Of course such rumors have been popping up for almost two years and the UFC has failed to ink a deal.
