CEO Stephane Patry of TKO (Unexpectedly?) Resigns

This seems strange:

After 8 years at the helm of the largest Canadian Mixed Martial Arts organization (TKO), Stephane Patry has announced that he is stepping down.

Founder of this organization who was responsible for a total of 44 proffesional galas and 12 of those being at the Bell Center, the hour has come for Mr Patry to move on to greater things. The resigning of Mr.Patry has been rumored to be November 15th.

"After eight years as president of the organization, I am ready to undertake new challenges. I will continue to manage the atheletes that I am currently involved with and I have received a few interesting offers which I need to follow and develop" added Stephane Patry.

I'm not going to even pretend to know what this is about, but it's certainly caught my attention. Anyone got any skinny?
