This could be really bad for the UFC, because this is not what they need if they want more national exposure.

Lesnar has arrogance and does and says some things that are not appropriate, but he is good for the UFC and he will only attract more WWE fans. He is the best thing, financially, to happen to the UFC ever

Very true. If there's anything Dana White needs, it's to lure away WWE fans because Vince McMahon is kicking Dana's a*s financially and attendance wise.

see I've always had a problem with that comparison. I'm a big fan of both, but they are totally different species imo. Wrestling is pretty much glorified reality(use the term loosely) TV. People tune in every week to catch their fave characters and the storly lines are straight Bold and The Beautiful

UFC shouldn't even try to compete the WWE. They'll get slayed. Millions of parents world wide let their kids watch it every week. Hell they even buy them Mysterio masks-very few would let em watch Lesner and Mir pummel **** out of each other

UFC is real and respectful, for those that know anything, WWE (and I haven't watched fake wrestling regularly for some 16 years) is just theatrical playing and utter stupidity at that

exactly-so there's no comparison. 2 entirley different things

Read an article where D White is saying a Lesnar Fedor fight is imminent. Sweet!!!

read that too and i cant wait.

It may be that, but for something that is "theatrical" and "utter stupidity" has been mainstream and probably, one of the, if not the most successful sports entertainment brands in American history... EVER. Hate it or love it, WWE will continue to grow, and fans will continue to pour in.

To say they're not clean and respectful is the same thing as saying hockey is America's number one sport. When the cameras are off, all the stars of the WWE show nothing but love towards each other. There's no beef.

What I meant was that the whole theatrical play of the WWE is degenerate in nature and does not set or show a good example for youth

Fedor really should give the UFC a try at least, he would then prove that he is the best Heavyweight in the world. It would be a great matchup and I don't count Lesnar out, he is far bigger and stronger

as much as i love Fedor I agree. No one Lesnar's size should be that quick! If he gets on top, wtf is anyone meant to do?

Okay, so letting your 7 year old watch one guy pummel the crap out of another guy is showing just as much of a good example as other respectful and clean things?

Maybe 7 year olds shouldn't be watching any sort of real life violence, maybe movies are alright, but not a real life violence showing.

UFC shows respect amongst men, WWE shows degenerate, obscene attitudes amongst men. UFC shows that if you fight, you don't have to be a jerk about it and still have respect for the other guy

RobDIKUM wrote:which is why people feel UFC fighters should have more respect, which most of them do. However people see Lesnar and that's the impression they get about MMA as a whole. MMA is a brutal sport, but you know what, boxing is too and it's called the sweet science. Fans of the sport can understand the nuances that are going on. When they see hendo knock out bisping, they don't think about the timing and the set up involved in creating a knockout, however in boxing it is much more highly thought of.
