So is UFC like wrestling in terms of staged antics?
MMA didn't seem like that twenty years ago.
Maybe somebody did some marketing research and found a huge percentage of fans were wrestling fans as well and decided to fix ratings.
As long as the consumer is happy everything is great.
Wrestling fans know it's staged and phony but they see people sweat and bleed and are pleased.
But MMA fans strike me as a more serious less fun crowd that needs real pain.
Is this the new compromise? A hybrid of staged bare knuckle unlicensed confrontations?
Does anyone see a connection or feel manipulated?
