WWE is probably the worst thing about UFC.

The worst aspects of UFC are the ones taken directly from pro-wrestling.

I do agree links to WWE is harmful to MMA in my opinion. I hate fake which is why I cant wait for the day Sonnen returns to being the mediocre fighter he was prior to the Marquardt fight.

Most people will look at MMA for the first time and think that rather than watching a real sport they are watching the steroid and painkiller infused pantomime that is pro wrestling.

it must be tough to live in a world where such a large amount of entertainment is fake if your hate is so strong.

in my opinion what makes ufc great is the characters you can get emotionally invested in

i dont want to see some super respectful guy who just fights

thats freaking boring

from movies to books to tv shows to comic books to pro wrestling,etc. all need characters

beleive it or not

chuck/tito was mma’s rock/austin

chuck – stone cold bad ass who looked like he could kick your ass – just like stone cold steve austin

tito – cocky arrogant prick just like the rock was when he was a bad guy

it is what gets guys marketable and entertaining
