My jobs today will be to conduct a deal-making discussion with Peggy Johnson (EVP of biz dev at Microsoft), Bill Maris (CEO of Google Ventures) and David Trujillo (partner at TPG), plus do a Dropbox session with CEO Drew Houston and COO Dennis Woodwide. If you've got questions for either one, email em on over.

• Today's big deal is that WME/IMG has agreed to acquire UFC, the mixed martial arts powerhouse, with private equity backing from Silver Lake (already a WME investor), KKR and entities affiliated with Michael Dell. No financial terms are being disclosed, but sources put the price tag at around $4 billion. Some notes on this one:

1. My understanding is that Silver Lake and KKR are investing the same amount of common equity for minority stakes, although Silver Lake has additional indirect exposure via its existing investment in WME. Dell's investment is preferred equity.

2. WME has represented UFC for over 10 years, but its representation of individual fighters has only been on media and endorsement deals. In other words, it won't be on both sides of (sometimes contentious) negotiations between UFC and its fighters.

3. ESPN had first reported on the sale process back in May, after which UFC president Dana White called the reports bogus, saying the company "is not for sale." At the time I reported in this space that White was either lying or misinformed (more likely the former), as UFC had already engaged bankers that had spoken with WME (among others). It is, however, worth noting what White said directly after the aforementioned statement: "If somebody shows up with $4 billion, we can talk."

4. We also reported at the time that prospective buyers viewed White's continuing involvement as integral to any deal. Indeed, he will remain UFC president going forward.

5. WME was sure to point out in its press release that UFC is "one of the largest contributors to the Cleveland Clinic’s Professional Fighters Brain Health Study," and UFC has talked about how its fighters take fewer repetitive hits to the head than do boxers or football players. That said, I'd have to believe that WME is assuming some serious liability risk in this area.

• Secondaries scoop: Luca Salvato has left Coller Capital, where he had been a partner since 2000. No words on the reason or his future plans. It's just the latest in a recent spate of senior departures from the private equity secondaries giant, all of which happened after the firm closed its seventh fund with $7.15 billion.

• Update: We reported last year that Ryan Drant was planning to launch a new venture capital/growth equity firm, after having spent 19 years making healthcare investments for New Enterprise Associates. Now we've learned that the firm is called Questa Capital Management, and Drant's partner is Bradley Sloan, a former partner with Parthenon Capital Partners. No word yet on their fundraising effort, which was expected to raise between $250 million and $300 million.

• Data dump: U.S. venture capital firms raised $8.8 billion for 67 funds in Q2 2016, according to a new report from Thomson Reuters and the NVCA. That's a 37% dollar dip from the blockbuster first quarter of 2016 — when more money was raised than in any other single quarter since Q2 2006 — but still a pretty heady figure. The largest Q2 21016 fund came from Andreessen Horowitz ($1.5 billion), while Liberty Mutual Strategic Ventures raised the largest first-time fund ($150m).
