Depending on injuries and what not, but if your healthy you might be able to have 3 - 4 fights a year. and most fights are in vegas and most fighters are fighting out of vegas so they travel far less than wwe stars. There was only 6-7 fights in Vegas last year, that includes TUF Finales, Fight Nights, PPV, etc. They might not have to travel as much as the WWE stars, but they're still traveling a lot between fights, training, media, etc |

He's right.. But at the same time...
That's a very ignorant question to ask in the first place.. A better question, that would make Dana White sweat a little would be..
"How long until UFC is bigger than the NFL or NBA or MLB and Boxing?"
That's a worthy question.. Not this garbage they asked.. Give Dana White a challenge.. Compare his sport to another sport.. A competitive sport.. One that isn't scripted and trained to be safely dangerous..
If it wasn't for Brock Lesnar would this even be a friggin' question asked?
I mean seriously.. Pro Wrestling might not be a real competitive sport.. But you HAVE TO be an athlete.. And a damn good one at that.. No ifs, ands, or buts about it..

UFC should not exist. definitely highlights how laim our generation is. I consider UFC to be closer to gay porn then a sport.
1/20 matches are entertaining, and i used the word "entertaining" loosely. And i don't know if Dana White realizes this, but things on TV are meant to be entertaining, so he should STFU about WWE and anything else for that matter.
UFC sucks and Dana White is fail.

UFC is hardly MMA anymore, it's guys who know a bit of anything. I could actually argue that WWE is a sport and UFC isn't.
Let me put it this way, most people considering ice skating a sport right? So why can't pro wrestling be a sport if Ice skating is?
on to UFC, it basically two guys beating the snot out of each other in a most primitive way. So basically two guys acting like pissed off Gorilla's is a sport.
Just trying to think outside the box I guess.

I'd expect the whole "just two people beating the snot outa eachother" arguments back when people like Tank Abbot could headline a frickin pay per view. But try and take into account that punching and kicking are only a fractional part of what MMA is all about. Two men competing to determine the superior skilled athlete by way of combat is the very definition of what a sport is. |

Ice Skating is still a legit judged competition. The Winners aren't Pre Determined, thus its a legit Sport. how hard is that to understand?
Real - Sport
Fake - Entertainment
The only wrestling that's a sport is College/Olympic/H.S. Wrestling.

However WWE and boxing make a lot more money. How many of their top stars make as much as WWE's and boxing's top stars?

WWE is technically a sport. You need all the training that goes into any other sport and the talent as well.

Real - Sport Fake - Entertainment The only wrestling that's a sport is College/Olympic/H.S. Wrestling. both are performances and if you suck at performing in WWE you won't do well, sounds like a sport to me. your cut and dry definitions are pretty stupid by the way, all sports are entertainment assuming it's on tv. wrestling is pre determined but that doesn't mean it's fake, these guys take huge tolls on their body, and there is nothing fake about that. |

While WWE is indeed sports entertainment, you can't learn to fall off of a 20 ft ladder.

It's called common sense, just because they take bumps doesn't mean its a sport, you act like every single move is real. However WWE and boxing make a lot more money. How many of their top stars make as much as WWE's and boxing's top stars? WWE makes more Money? Vince doesn't have enough money to buy UFC, think about that. |

LOL dude.. two big sweaty muscular guys in their undies groping each other is what UFC is. I have tried to watch it, my brother likes it, and most matches is just a 4 minute sequence of 2 men rolling on top of each other. And the crowd that UFC pulls is just trash, there's always fights outside the arenas and little competition things.. its just so laim, that's just my opinion though |
