Roman and Cena took more real, physical punishment in their matches with Brock at Extreme Rules 2012 and WrestleMania 31, respectively, than the average UFC fighter takes in a match.

I'd love to see if Dana White would allow Brock Lesnar to throw a series of elbows directly to his head in order to split his wig open like Cena did with Brock in their Extreme Rules match. Shit, I'd like to see if Dana is even man enough to keep his hands down and not flinch when Brock is throwing elbows, forearms, and lariats like wrestlers are required to do.

The most physically brutal wrestling matches I've seen are easily comparable with the most physically grueling UFC fights I've seen. I'm just being honest here, for anyone who has seen some of the legendary Stan Hansen and Big Van Vader matches from Japan, you'll know what I'm talking about.

How many UFC fighters have continued a fight after suffering a fractured orbital bone and detached retina? Or suffering a torn quad? Or being knocked out cold? There are multiple wrestlers who have suffered each of those injuries and continued to wrestle their match. Taker wrestled a Hell in a Cell match with Foley on a broken ankle.

UFC fighters are tough as nails, don't get me wrong, but in all of the sports I watch, from MMA, to boxing, to american football, no sport has toughee athletes than pro wrestling. Pro wrestlers are just a different breed, man. They go out and wrestle through injuries and illnesses that would have 99% of the people on earth either laid up on a couch or in the emergency room. Words can't express the amount of respect I have for what they do, calling it "fake" is totally disrespectful and just flat out ignorant. It's a work, it's not fake.

Why are wrestling fans getting so mad about this? Wrestling is fake, we all know it's fake, we've been told it's fake from the moment we started watching. Who gives a fuck what some bald bitch with a girls name has to say about this?

UFC is just a bunch of men on steroids dry humping on the floor. You know your sport is for pussies when a woman is the biggest draw.



...and Steve Austin's and Lita's broken necks.
Droz being paralyzed or what happened to Owen.

All these are actually proof wrestling is fake. None of these would not of happened if everything went to plan in the first place. None of these things were planned.

The funniest thing to me is how some hardcore UFC fans & Dana shit on WWE while a lot of UFC fighters, including champions like Ronda, are passionate pro wrestling fans. Daniel Cormier actually talked about going to a TNA show years ago (before he was in UFC) and just messing around with some of the guys in the ring. After getting slammed a couple of times he said "Fuck, I'm not doing this, this hurts".

Kind of hilarious if you think about it...

Some worthless retard sustaining paralysis during a fake fight doesn't mean that wrestling isn't fake. It's fake. It's not a real fight. There's nothing any of you insecure and unintelligent wrestling fans can do or say to change that.

It was obvious his statements were going to cause an uproar among sensitive neckbeards though. It's hilarious to watch.

Wrestling is fake.

UFC personalities make some of the most asshole ignorant statements of anyone in sports. Why would you say something like that in plain view, when you know wrestling fans make up a big portion of your audience, and you know that you predicated your entire operation on the wrestling business?

It's like a week can't go by without some UFC idiot talking shit on wrestling or boxing or football or whatever the fuck. Just shut the fuck up and go work your fights. Bubba Ray fucking BURIED him and every word he said was truth.

You'd think Dana would especially know better, since he does business with the WWE. I bet he's still butthurt that Vince won the Brock sweepstakes.

Lets take a step back and narrow down what is fake:

UFC: You have popularity contests to get title shots, yes winning in ring does open doors but Dana can ultimately "coerce" title shots, cause there is always more than 1 challenger. I know for a fact, as a Lyota Machida fan, that Dana rather have an entertaining fight, than Machida dance the ring and pick apart his opponent in non "exciting" fashion.

WWE: You have popularity contests to get title shots, and the same as UFC, winning in the ring opens doors for you, cause good in ring performances is what gets you over, even if the winner is a predetermined situation, based soely on a creative team and Vinny Mac.


So basically what Dana White is trying to say, it isn't real competition. Yeah it is just as physical and guys are just as likely to get injured. But the UFC Belt holders deserve their belts because they competed against other men to win it.

But when you think about it, isn't that what WWE wrestlers do, compete against each other to get more pops, and pops turn into more wins with creative, which ultimately gets you into title contention, because your in ring performances opened doors for you. What you do in the ring is the same as UFC in terms of getting you to a Title, both belt holders have to be a big draw.

What are you talking about? Lyoto Machida gets excellent booking by Dana. He got his chance back with Jon Jones at the Light Heavyweight belt not too long after losing it to Shogun, despite going 1-1 during that span.

When he lost to Phil Davis, and went down to Middleweight, he was given a shot at Chris Weidman's belt just 3 fights in.

He is routinely booked on UFC pay per views or otherwise he's headlined the last 5 Fight Nights he's been apart of, and gets base pay of $200,000 for each fight. And you think Dana overlooks him because he dances around the ring?

Don't get me wrong, I like Lyoto as well, I saw him as a potential modern day Bruce Lee in his early fights. But he's obviously lost a step at 37 years old, he is 1-3 in his last 4 fights, got completely outclassed in his last 2. You want Dana to give him another title shot??
