Just in case anyone is stuck in ‘kayfabe-only’ mode, listening to Brock Lesnar’s opinion on the difference between the WWE and UFC might hurt your heart.
If you live in a reality where you know the difference between real and fake, then Brock’s opinion on the difference between WWE’s chairman Vince McMahon and UFC’s president Dana White might not be a harsh reality for you.
In a recent visit to ESPN to help promote the upcoming WWE pay-per-view ‘Summerslam’, which you can watch on the WWE Network for only $9.99, Brock Lesnar opened up to talk about the difference between the WWE and UFC.
Yes, the WWE is fake but they promote their fights better than the UFC does. Now there are circumstances that work in the favor of the WWE. One big factor is their demographic isn’t so focused as the UFC is. The WWE in their current ‘PG’-era is a draw for everyone from seven to 70. That’s the goal, get everyone involved. More people, more money. It’s simple.
So when Dana White took to twitter and voiced his opinion on the WWE, he held back nothing and let it all loose.
@RKORollins I hear u bro but fake shit should be 9.99

@RKORollins not disrespecting what they do. All the WWE guys I have met are awesome people but yes it's fake.

Now this could be a little bit of harsh words on the part of White due to the fact that the WWE signed Brock Lesnar to a huge contract as the UFC was inquiring about his services or this could just be White stirring up the pot, as he tends to do.
Then again, Brock Lesnar elected to voice his own opinion on White and the UFC and he’s not wrong. Vince McMahon is better at promoting his fights than Dana White. The proof is there, and has been there for over 30 years. Vince McMahon and the WWE reign supreme over the world of combat sports and they always will until someone else pushes the envelope as much as McMahon has over the last three decades.
