Isn't there a huge gap in pay between UFC and WWE? I expect alot of fighters to jump over honestly.

All fun and games until one of the wrestlers F--s around and catches a spinning elbow or flying knee.

Everyone will want to start wrestling in WWE instead, lots of fighters jumping ship for the monies

Don't pro wrestlers have to work a lot more with less time to recover, though?

That's the beauty, the UFC gets say so on those chances.

Not to mention being a pro wrestler is a skillset most fighters don't have.

Volk looks more like gilberg with that getup. View attachment 977357

EXACTLY!

Bring out the sparklers

 

[MPD-Psycho]

Might as well. They were already the same thing in spirit (sport entertainment).

Yes, but a whole lot more money (if your body can manage)

Fair enough!
If they don't have the wherewithal to make other moves a la Masvidal and his ventures, then it definitely seems like the right move to make if money is the issue.

Chairshots gallore, Conor will use the UFC belt on his opponent, while Herb pretends to not see it and win by pinfall.

Cool, so nothing at all will change !

WWE is cancer
Another reason to pray for the death of the ufc

Are we expecting to see more Japanese style bouts that look like semi-realistic fights?

 

[Contempt]

I know they are both having fun and they seem like great guys... but I had to turn that off after the first minute as it is just painful as fuck to watch.

 

[Poirierfan]

The UFC is drowning itself In trash between power fucking stupid slap "league" and now this. I haven't watched fake wrestling since I was 10 years old, this is not good imo.

I wouldn't expect it, but then again the UFC is on the powerslap bandwagon. Good ideas aren't exactly WME's forte.

I’d watch a dueling imanari roll tag team match once.
