The visit was announced by Dave Sholler, the UFC Director of Communications, on Twitter, saying, “Business just picked up at Zuffa HQs!” Ross was invited for an office tour by Marc Ratner who is the UFC Vice Presdeint of Regulatory Affairs.

Jim Ross is a big MMA fan and often talks about the UFC shows on his blog. He expresed his wish several times to be able to call a UFC fight one day.

On Twitter, Ross thanked Ratner for the tour and he said he enjoyed meeting UFC President Dana White. “Cool dude. Great hospitality,” Ross wrote.

White called meeting Ross an honor and said it was a pleasure to meet him as well.

Lawler suffered a heart attack in Montreal during the September 10 edition of Monday Night RAW and has been out of action ever since. He appeared during the Smackdown tapings in his home town of Memphis, Tennessee, last month but his appearance was not shown on television.

It’s safe to say that the WWE Hall of Famer will get the royal treatment tomorrow for his first day back on the job since the heart attack. Lawler is expected to work RAW every week from tomorrow with Michael Cole. Jim Ross, who has filled for Lawler ever since, is expected to leave the commentary position after tomorrow and fill in when necessary.

“Jim Ross is an American icon and my friend,” said Vince McMahon as he stood in the middle of the ring praising the WWE Hall of Famer.

Triple H – rocking his new hair-do – led the celebrations, introducing a video from Oklahoma Sooners football coach Bob Stoops and also another video from Lawler’s long-time broadcast partner Jerry “The King” Lawler.

Bill Watts and Danny Hodge also appeared live, congratulating Ross and then JR was presented with an award from the WWE.

“Felt as big as 2007 #WWE HOF. A moment I’ll never forget. So grateful 2 you all,” Ross tweeted after the show was over.

WWE.COM has exclusive videos of all these located here.

Every time RAW rolls into Oklahoma, Jim Ross always ends up the victim of something so hopefully tonight there will be a change in that department.

“I’m very excited 2 be honored by #WWE Monday night on #RAW. If you can attend I hope you will. If not, join us for the broadcast. Thx 2 all,” Ross wrote on Twitter.

WWE has done a few Appreciation Nights in the past, with the last one for Pat Patterson in Montreal being canceled due to the Jerry Lawler heart attack.

Last week former WWE champ John “Bradshaw” Layfield returned to do commentary however this week he is in Africa climbing mount Kilimanjaro.

“It’s 3:30am in Oklahoma. Up & at em headed to OKC Airport in route to Albany, NY for #WWE #Raw. @MichaelCole & I will talk live w/ The King,” Ross wrote on Twitter.

Jerry Lawler will be interviewed tonight on the show, his first WWE televised appearance since suffering a heart attack two weeks ago.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is rumored to be filling his chair from next week, making appearances on RAW until The King is ready to get back to work following his heart attack last week. Ross also returned yesterday to do commentary along with JBL and Michael Cole.

“Thanks to all who enjoyed our work on #Raw tonight. Hope we get to do it again soon. I appreciate @MichaelCole & @JCLayfield. #WWE,” tweeted Ross after the show was over.

“For Last time, King will NOT be @ NOC PPV. He had a HEART ATTACK Mon. Ask ur parents 2 explain,” he wrote.

But he then said that Michael Cole won’t be going solo obviously although he stopped short of revealing who will be his broadcast partner in King’s absence.

“I Suggest u watch,” Ross wrote. It’s interesting to note that reports are that JR is in Boston and most likely will fill in for Lawler.

Ross spoke highly of the EMTs and the WWE medical team that attended to the fellow Hall of Famer on Monday, saying that if Lawler was somewhere else – restaurant, driving, or even wrestling at an indy show – the outcome would have been different due to the lack of immediate help.

JR also said that he doesn’t think he and King are over and can still see a road trip and calling more matches together, describing him as his favorite broadcast partner of all time.

Ross also had words of praise for Michael Cole and how he handled the situation on live television. “There aren’t adequate words to express the stellar job that Michael Cole did sitting at the broadcast desk,” Ross noted. Cole had to sit at the table for another hour, giving updates and looking like an emotional wreck in the process.

JR closed his blog by calling the work of Punk, Cena, and Hart, “nothing short of extraordinary” considering the circumstances.

“I am proud of each man and the entire WWE team for responding in the face of immense adversity that faced them in Montreal.”
