MMA borrows a lot from wrestling in terms of promotion and manufacturing feuds but let's not get carried away. :beli:
if you couldnt tell that Mcgregor/Mendes fight was fixed then thats on you :manny:

It has nothing to do with fear of Ronda getting hurt just that he dosen't to loose her like he did Brock.

i dont think that should be a concern of his. Brock was WWE first, what would ronda do, go into the divas division? how could she ever be booked kayfabe to lose a match? what other capacity could they use her in?

Fake implies there is no risk or there are no injuries. That's why wrestlers hate that term. They much rather you call it scripted or pre-determined.
i call it theatrical entertainment.

It forces fighters to wear Reebok gear while fighting which essentially makes them lose sponsorship money. It also places them to make certain amounts of money with wins/losses/number of fights in the UFC. The well established fighters would've been paid a lot more if the Reebok deal wasn't in place by their sponsors.
The UFC is going down if that's how business is getting done...he's taking advantage of low IQ's or something:scust:

The UFC won't go down because they have no competition. Dana knows this, so he can do whatever the fukk he wants to maximize the UFC's money without having to pay the fighters. It's just like how Vince has a strangehold over wrestling and how the wrestlers can't do anything about it.

Yea I get all that, but eventually the fighters will establish a union of some sort and demand a higher profit share...just like MLB NBA and NFL...the rule to any league is PAY THE TALENT...eventually these UFC fighters will catch on...boxing struggled until they figured out how to pay the talent(and they still suck sort of)...gotta keep the talent happy tho

What makes you think the fights will unionize? It's been 30+ years, and the wrestlers still haven't figured it out.

WWE is still pretty fake. They are athletes tho don't get me wrong :whoa: but I'm not trying to see anything predetermined and the punching isn't real either. The people who are :cape: on Twitter I just :heh:

As soon as some attorney sees them as a profitable target...if the UFC gets extra large and lands let's say a major TV deal, those fighters will be approached by some opportunist to negotiate some type of bargaining rights. I'm surprised no one did the same over this reebok deal:ld:

They already got a major TV deal with FOX. The fighters aren't organized enough to come together. Most of the fighters are fighting because they love the sport. Without the UFC, there isn't an alternative. There isn't really an Olympic option. BJJ, kickboxing, muay thai and wrestling aren't as lucrative of an option as even the watered down UFC salary. There's no more PRIDE in Japan. There's no Strikeforce. Bellator is like an even worse TNA-equivalent. Plus, the people who have spoken out about the Reebok deal publicly have been punished. One of the cut guys got fired for saying he's lost money from the Reebok deal. That's pretty much all he said. Didn't say anything bad about the deal, just that he's losing money from it & they fired his ass.

The NFL had the AFL to worry about, and the NBA had the ABA. UFC doesn't have anything to worry about. They have the upperhand on the fighters :manny:
