Wrestling > MMA.

[mikedudelang]

UFC's main problem are the majority of fans. They hate on Lesnar for having a wrestling past, as if wrestling is a dirty word. Wrestling is basically MMA without kayfabe and the ability to make stars. That's why Lesnar is such a cash cow, he's already had the build. It's impossible to make a superstar from MMA.

I don't think I agree that the UFC can't create superstars. Long before Brock Lesnar came around, Chuck Liddell was the face of MMA during a time when the UFC exploded and began regularly whipping WWE's ass in PPV buy rates. Matter of fact, there isn't a single household name in pro wrestling these days either, no one who transcends the business. The WWE has tried to do so with Cena but he's far from being what Hogan was in the 80's. I would argue the WWE (i.e. pro wrestling) is having every bit the same problem trying to create superstars as the UFC.

MMA isn't a sport? I swear, every single time you post something like this, you just give everyone else here on the forum more evidence that you haven't clue what you're talking about. I know it seems like I'm dogging you but it's not by design. You just make it so damned easy when you throw out ridiculous things like this.

It's sports entertainment not sports dude

So you'd consider Boxing a start but not MMA?

[Kenpachi Zaraki]

boxing is a sport MMA isn't and there's a lotta reasons for that

[Punisher]

^ you are so misinformed. Boxing is a main part of MMA. every fight starts on the feet and I would say that a large majority of UFC fighters have their stand up background in boxing or some for of kickboxing. So for you to say that boxing is a sport and MMA isnt is the stupidest thing I have ever heard from you in my entire time being at this forum.

You say Mac has no valid points but in this entire argument you havent provided not one... one piece of fact or statistic that proves your point that MMA sucks. every point you have had that says MMA sucks we have given you a good logical PROVABLE FACT that proves how ignorant you are about this conversation

[Kenpachi Zaraki]

eh this is not about MMA sucking Christopher its about Wrestling > MMA

And I'll tell ya why MMA isn't a sport

1. No sport has weekly TV shows
2. NO SPORT HAS COMPANY SPECIFIC CONTRACTS
2. Real Sports don't have heels and faces and before you go on rambling there's no heels or faces that Koscheck guy himself said he plays a heel so yeah

3 major reasons why its sports entertainment and not sports. And to say that boxing is a part of MMA so MMA is a sport that's just stupid

[Travicity]

Thought we were actually speaking about inside the cage and not behind the scenes? :eek:

[The Mac]

weekly shows?

what weekly shows they have ppv's just like boxing...so try again gunner... u saying boxing is a sport and mma isnt is hypocritical and just shows how little you know about mma

[danniboi]

I love wrestling MMA is ok but really its 2 dudes rolling round a ring cuddling tryin to get the best position to put on a submission or get a knockout most fights are exciting for 10 minutes then boring for 30 Boxing is a sport I like aswell that I follow abit as far as real fighting goes I reckon boxing> MMA

[The Mac]

boxing is boring at times... having the guys dance around the ring for 12 rounds gets repiticious
