i fukking hate when people act like it isn't fake cause they are getting some exercise

are you really lifting these guys or are the leaping up to help you?

are you really punching these guys or are you hitting air and pulling punches?

is anybody actually hurt or are they rolling around doing a bunch of acting?

if wwe is real, then so is movie fighting.... it's predetermined, sometimes people get hurt, and it takes exercise.. so it's "real" too right guys

UFC uses contrived scenarios and characters reminiscent of pro wrestling leading to their fights all the time.

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:
But that's what I'm saying...it may not be the fighters who do it, it may be an attorney who sees a large profit to be made. But yea you're right, he's taking CLEAR advantage of these athletes, and it probably won't change for a while. But someone with enough capital should really start a league and challenge Dana...this is just foul business

ufc has no comp because they buy up the comp and dana uses that to box out fighters he dont like

Wrestling fans and wrestlers are overly sensitive about the term fake. I understand the wrestlers more because the toll it takes on them isn't fake but fans, come on my nikka. Yes it's more predetermined than fake but still, you know what people mean when they say it's fake. Actors don't get mad when people call it fake and actors get injured all the time during scenes
