in your opinion, do you think being a UFC champion is better than being an Olympic gold medalist wrestler?

For some sports. For boxing I would say no. Pro's smash olympic amateurs all the time.
Like Lenox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko and Anthony Joshua?
The TS asked about Olympic wrestlers, the UK Olympic coverage doesn't even show the wrestling medals, if it wasn't for MMA the only Olympic gold medallist wrestler I'd know of was Kurt Angle and that's nothing to do with real wrestling. Conor vs Khabib has received lots of coverage but maybe not for the right reason.
Whether being a UFC champ makes you better than an Olympic gold medallist, who knows. How many people wrestle compared to how many people compete in MMA. There are massive national systems in place to try and produce Olympic champions, it nowhere near as organised in MMA.
