The taker thing was I believe was a setup to try and get Lesnar to fight at Wrestlemania that year! I strongly disbelieve that they actually hate each other because Taker has come to most of Lesnars UFC fights to support him.
Taker goes to most fights no matter who is fighting if he can get to them, at that point getting the Undertakers streak to end was being discussed but Lesner was not even mentioned at that point. Undertaker and Vince wanted his streak ended to put over someone else and both looked for people to do so, but nobody would. This bit inbetween Lesner and Undertaker was more them likely due to the fact Undertaker wast he leader of the backroom at WWE (can't remember what they called themselves, Undertaker has it tattooed on him on hist stomach I think). Brock wanted things done his way and Undertaker didnt let him come in and rule, cause not only Undertaker to dislike Brock for wanting it his was but also the entire WWE backroom to dislike him. This all ofcourse caused Brock and Undertaker to actually dislike each other. People may think then why did Undertake go over vs Brock, that guy is 100% when it comes to WWE and will do whatever he can to help out WWE or Vince. (Google Vince, Angle fight Undertaker).
just so you Taker bashers know, Undertaker trains MMA, and spars with the best in the business. His knowledge and ability is pretty decent. Hence why he rocks the MMA gloves in WWE, even his stance and punching style.
yes i know that, im not saying he'd win now obv not hes old and has alot of injuries, the man has done amazing stuff in his career and risked his entire body, im pretty sure had UFC been as big as WWE long ago, he would've joined
Wrestling is predetermined and choreographed and all, but you can't deny that the Undertaker is badass. He even admits he wouldn't want to fight Brock in a real fight, but I bet he could kick most people's asses. The dude used to collect depts for shady people before he was a wrestler...guarantee he's fucked people up in real life.
So Dana didn't allow Brock to go to WWE while contracted by UFC. But Vince actually let Brock go back to UFC while still contracted by WWE. Eat your heart out, Dana White.
Lance 'Ryder' Wilson how different is he that makes you think he can beat Lesnar. You’re telling me Taker’s jiu jitsu is so good that it’s even better than one of the best submissioners in the world at the time. We’ve never even seen Taker compete in mixed martial arts. His career would’ve probably turned out like CM Punk
Debating about who would win a fight is useless. You don't have to be or have been in the UFC to be a great fighter or the greatest. Fights aren't always black and white. In many different situations the outcome of a fight could change. Also, Losing a fight does not always mean you were not as good as the other person, it does mean that you were not as prepared. When i say prepared, it includes all possible factors of a fight, even some that you could not control, something like a specific health problem. There is no reason to beat yourself up after a fight or use it as an excuse to say you were not as good, just be better.
Vince is a very very powerful and very rich man he has a good amount of influence. . He allone has more money then the ufc much less his whole family. But this I feel was a act by both
I respect his comment on the Lines between Professional Wresting and Mixed Martial Arts. Both Lines have 2 things in common and that is everyone gets hurt and still continue to do what they do because they have a passion for it, and both sides share unique styles.
Huh? That's reflecting from memory 95 percent of the time. He's always said this and has s good relationship with him. Vince is wack bit you are trippin
What most "marks" out there don't even realize is. This was a TOTAL "worked shoot" meaning it was supposed to come across as a legit real confrontation. However, it was already "pre-planned" beforehand. And that my friend is what a "worked shoot" is.
What the MMA fans and Dana don't know is undertaker was one of the people who were pissed at Lesnar for the way he left WWE 04 after they handed him everything on a platter. So he pretty much did to UFC what he did to WWE.
***** lol, u seriously believe hogan? there r dozens of people who have said he is a liar. & where did u hear he was a debt collector? u have been watching wayy to many movies dude.
I'm a huge fan of both Wrestling and MMA. I've been a wrestling fan since I was a kid and picked up UFC around the age of 14. By MMA, I mean UFC, Strikeforce (when it was still around), and (sometimes) Bellator. I understand if you don't like one or the other but there's no need in saying one is better than the other. They're two completely different things.
I have to disagree with Dana from one standpoint, they are not all that much different in reality. Yes, UFC is real/a shoot while WWE is predetermined/a work. However the promotion is the same you are promoting a fight real or not. UFC promotes using the age old pro wrestling basics. 1. Who is fighting ? 2. When and Where? 3. Why are they fighting and why should I care?. If you look at the list almost all the UFC's biggest draws were the equivalent to a heel in pro wrestling. Ken "the dude is wearing pajamas, he is ready to go to sleep and I'm gonna help him"Shamrock, Tank Abbott ,Chael Sonnen, Ronda Rousey and currently Conor Mcgregor come to mind, they create interest by being old school Gorgeous George type heels " I am better looking than you, I am better in the ring and everyone sucks but me" type promos. Muhammad Ali made a fortune using a traditional pro-wrestling villain persona, Ali even credited it to Gorgeous George. "I was watching him saying he was so pretty and was amazed that he wanted to make people hate him. Then I looked around the arena and it was FULL! I realised at that moment I could make more money by having people pay to want to see me lose than win" There are more similarities than differences. Jim Cornette called Dana "The most successful wrestling promoter in the world right now" pointing out the only difference is that in the UFC the winner isn't decided before hand.
mr hentai didn't read your full comment. The entertainment side of things is pretty similar but the fact that the two fighters are actually fighting each other makes it more exciting, because most wwe fans know it is fake. I say most because some kids think it is real until they reach a certain age.
the story line and outcome of the matches are fake, but many of the moves, although not used with the intent to cause lasting damage, do hurt. You cannot fake gravity, and many moves do end up causing pain, just not enough to incapacitate the other person. Let a 6'6" man hoist you 7 feet in the air and drop you on your back, and then say wrestling is not real!
I understand you defending the "stuntmen" of the WWE, but the bottom line is, can you bet on fights in the WWE? No, that is all Dana was trying to say. If lines are blurred than the integrity of the sport (MMA) is called into question.
I understand what he was trying to say fully, my comment was aimed more at some of the people in the comments who think that there is no pain involved in what the WWE does.
You are right. I actually heard Triple H admit this in Dallas at a meet and greet. A fan asked him why Brock left and his quote was," Cause he got mouthy with the Taker and the Taker kicked his ass."
I've been a WWE fan since I was a small child and there is nothing in this world that would stop me from watching it, and I'm 28. I've been watching UFC since its first ever PPV. If you are a fan of sports and entertainment, then these are the two best sources for both. There's no doubt that WWE and pro wrestling is choreographed, however there is nothing fake about it. Those guys take home pain the same as an MMA fighter. On top of that, they do it up to 300 days a year.
The way I see it, UFC is fake not WWE, When a guy in UFC punches someone, the guy's head barely moves. He's not even hitting him! When John Cena punches someone they fly like 10 feet. That's a punch!
@bryantaa But Dana is clearly saying that he wants the UFC to be viewed as a legitimate sport the way people view Boxing. Boxing's current popularity is not the point. And it makes perfect sense for him to draw the distinction between MMA and Professional Wrestling. They are different forms of entertainment. That was his whole point.
Soo like thing is with these 2 guys (Mark Calaway & brock lesnar) they had serious issues in 2000 and 2001 in the WWE and the beef between them has grown ever since Paul Heyman(use to be brock lesnar's spokesman and assistant) went a little too far about the "Undertaker's" family then after all of that had happened keeping it business and "legit" brock and Mark (Undertaker) had fought out of the arena and made it personal when it was suppose to just entertain and exite the fans of the WWE but as said they had gotten personal when not suppose to and they had been enemies for a really fucking long time brock and mark would talk so much shit honestly and they had even been suspended from the WWE because of their violent actions its intense ..
From what I heard Undertaker asked Brock If wanted to go at WrestleMania. Brock was supposed to know The Undertaker was there but the next night on a TV show said Undertaker asked him if he wanted to go and Brock thought he meant there. It was a confusing thing. Vince told Undertaker to bring it up but the part that doesn't make sense is several people said Brock knew the Undertaker was going to be there and ask him something. That is why we walked by Taker. But Brock I guess didn't understand. Taker said you wanna go? That probably wasn't the best way to put it. But water under a bridge now.
I never insulted you, I just pointed out the fact that your comment was misinformed and wrong. Have a problem hearing that you're wrong? You should deal with that now, because it will happen a lot more often as you get older. Brock Lesnar was a UFC Heavyweight Champion. That's all that matters, not how he treated his opponents. This is a sport, not a classroom. The goal is to win, not win honorably. I know you're young, but I'm not insulting you here. Learn from it.
my point is THEY are fans not "friend fans" Many of them become friends AFTER they have been fans for awhile. Mainly because they respect what they do.
You don't think I know the difference? Matt Hughes is good friends with The Undertaker, Tito Ortiz actually performed in TNA, Chael uses Billy Graham promos and Chuck and Randy have been seen at several WWE events and have said they are fans of PRO wrestling in articles.
@bryantaa That's exactly the comparison you want to make. Boxing may have had problems with corruption but it has always been respected as a real legitimate sport. MMA fans want to see the sport grow to the point Boxing was at in its prime. That's what Dana White wants. It doesn't want to to be compared to some circus act like Professional Wrestling.
Dan Severn was an NWA World Heavyweight Champion and made a great transition into MMA, Don Frye was also a professional wrestler and became a great Mixed Martial Artist, Brock Lesnar had a professional wrestling run and become a somewhat decent MMA fighter and to any MMA fan who disrespects professional wrestling for being scripted, I recommend you watch a Davey Richards NJPW match or the stunts that were pulled in the original ECW and you tell me whats fake.
No reason Dana should be afraid that it would blur the lines, unless he knows something that we don't - that maybe The UFC is somewhat of a work and not entirely a shoot and he's worried about people finding out. That would explain him being oversensitive about "blurring the lines." If UFC is totally real competition, why would he be afraid that fans would be confused by Brock being in both WWE and UFC when McMahon has publicly stated that WWE wrestlers do in their matches what he says to do?
@theburningattack No I disagree. When two guys seem to like each other, its because they just spent anywhere up to 25 minutes trying to kill each other. They know how much blood sweat and tears they put into their training camp to prepare for the fight, and when they get in the octagon and meet face to face with another athlete who did the exact same thing, there's an automatic mutual respect. But as Jaremus said, this isn't always the case. At least, not right away.
Boxing has been around for generations, like 1600 if not further. MMA has only been big in America since about 1995, but to see the growth MMA has had in those short years is amazing. When people realize MMA is actually safer and understand more of what is going on, boxing wont be nearly as big ... I'd say it's already on the decline.
@DarrenF4648 Erm...WWE/WWF business started to tank in 2001, when WWE/WWF was very much non-PG. What you don't seem to understand is that bad booking causes business to hit the toilet, not family-friendly storylines. Like I said before, WWE/WWF did monster business circa 1984-1991, with a product that was much more PG than today. Bad booking causes business to hit the skids, whether it's PG or 'Attitude'.
@theburningattack Also, every UFC fighter understands that they're in a business. They know that to really be successful, you need to have a fan base. Fans are the ones who pour their money into the UFC, and at the end of the day, the more fans you have, the bigger audiences you'll attract for your fights, and the more money you'll make for the company. If GSP and Anderson Silva both lost 3 consecutive fights, do you think they'd be cut? Hard to say, their popularity is almost unprecedented
Dana White is a class act! Great response to the Undertaker and Brock Lesnar situation. I'm a fan of MMA and I'm a fan of WWE but Dana said it correctly and that is they're completely two different entities.
You are saying these guys are able to hit each other with the steel chair at full force and still be able to stand up? I agree that you have to be athletic and be able to take risks to perform in the WWE, but come on, there is no way that it is not fake.
@Haseeb2 I agree for the most part besides the whole "ufc greater risk for injury" thing. I'm not denying those dudes are getting KO'd and risking concussions and possible broken limbs with armbars and such...but professional wrestler are putting there LIVES on the line on pretty much a daily basis. Wrestling is very danerous, and I think wrestlers are taking a far bigger risk in the injury department than fighters.
An MMA guy who talks sense and reason? Didn't see that coming... On more placid note, Dana is absolutely right, wrestling is entertainment. Brock Lesnar/Undertaker encounter was simply a case of Taker and Lesnar seeing eachother for the first time in a long time, shareing words and just so happened to have a camera documenting it. People think that UFC and MMA are similar when in reality they're totally different. WWE is not trying to outdo UFC for the simple fact that they have no reason to.
Sorry, but there are thousands of guys training MMA at various gyms in the US alone. Being a massive, athletic man (The Undertaker) who has "some MMA skills," is an entirely different thing than a UFC Champion. Training does not equal true ability, and certainly not execution. This is the kinda fact that research should reveal.
WWE is basically a popular, never ending movie with Athletic guys who probably could kick ass if they wanted. The UFC is a sport, with real competitiveness. No lines blurred, just facts.
Good move there Dana. As silly as it sounds, I've met several people who thought MMA was fake fighting. If pro Wrestling and MMA combine, casual fans may think it's the same thing. UFC could potentially lose alot of it's fanbase who stopped watching Wrestling to watch "real" fights, if it's authenticity becomes questioned. Although I suppose Japan has combined the 2 successfully before.
You would be VERY surprised. Diego Sanchez, Matt Hughes, Tito Ortiz, Chael Sonnen, Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture and more have all stated multiple times that they are huge wrestling fans. I don't understand people that don't think you can be fans of both. They're so different. I love going to WWE events, but I also love going to UFC fights. I don't see why that has become a social faux pas.
Dana looks scared because he knew Vince was trying to get Brock back and Dana didn't want to lose him. The taker thing was win or lose Brock and take will have a face to face stare down. The wanna do it line was, wanna end the streak?
Its canvas over top of wood so it has give when you land on it and reduces impact. And they do a thing called break-falling. Look it up. They use the same principle in Judo.
I really think this beef is real. I heard something a long time ago that a lot of WWE wrestlers had an off-screen grudge with Lesnar and then this came up. It really didn't seem fake, I'm sure if they were faking it they would have showed what Lesnar said or did as he passed you know they were never good actors.
Loved when Dana called him "The Undertaker" there's respect in that name
The taker thing was I believe was a setup to try and get Lesnar to fight at Wrestlemania that year! I strongly disbelieve that they actually hate each other because Taker has come to most of Lesnars UFC fights to support him.

This all ofcourse caused Brock and Undertaker to actually dislike each other.

Ericship 111™ they really do hate each other since day one
Taker will look skinny as hell if he fought in the ufc
Axtrix Blade are you dumb? The undertaker is heavier than all the ufc fighters
I think there are only 5 fights of brock in UFC
Im a fan of both UFC and WWE. i thought it was cool seeing taker in the crowd.
Dana White v Vince McMahon Wrestlemania 32 match confirmed
+Ambrose Dean Moxley lol
+Ambrose Dean Moxley "Dana White, YOU'RE FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!"
That did not happen
Guest Refree : Brock Lesnar
It happened
I love how both of these grown men call him The Undertaker XD
People call snoop snoop lady gaga lady gaga
He is undertaker to everybody
And what about everybody call Marshall Mathers Eminem?
The dude is the Undertaker...he was born to be that character.
Because he IS the Undertaker
just so you Taker bashers know, Undertaker trains MMA, and spars with the best in the business. His knowledge and ability is pretty decent. Hence why he rocks the MMA gloves in WWE, even his stance and punching style.
he'd still NEVER step into the cage. With ANYBODY.
TheBaronsamedi88 Yeah well he's also like 50 years old, 15 years ago though he could've made something good out of it
LMAO. Taker is 55 yo man with bad knees. Any HW in the UFC would destroy anybody in the WWE. Pix Overeem kneeing Taker. Not pretty sight.
yes i know that, im not saying he'd win now obv not hes old and has alot of injuries, the man has done amazing stuff in his career and risked his entire body, im pretty sure had UFC been as big as WWE long ago, he would've joined
Hassan Nabih Department of Homeland Security US Visit has been notified. They are on their way.
"You wana do it?"
Haha, brock walked away. Maybe undertaker would win.
Ariel helwani: what did you just say to him...
Wrestling is predetermined and choreographed and all, but you can't deny that the Undertaker is badass. He even admits he wouldn't want to fight Brock in a real fight, but I bet he could kick most people's asses. The dude used to collect depts for shady people before he was a wrestler...guarantee he's fucked people up in real life.
So Dana didn't allow Brock to go to WWE while contracted by UFC. But Vince actually let Brock go back to UFC while still contracted by WWE. Eat your heart out, Dana White.
I like how even outside of the wrestling ring people refer to him as The Undertaker.
WWE&MMA are both amazing stop fighting about it.
+Dustin Rhodes I agree with you Dustin, sorry for your loss. Your father is a legend.
+Cause of Death Excessive Moderation WWE is scripted not fake.
***** Fake and Scripted are two different meanings. I recommend that you get an education. It will take you far in life.
***** Let a wrestler do that to you and you will be in pain.
***** Just shut up and get an education
Undertaker boxed for years, I would still put my money on prime taker vs todays brock
Well you're an idiot then lmfao
@@ikyabwai not really,Taker is a black belt at Jiu Jitsu so Taker from the 90's would probally beat Brock
Lance 'Ryder' Wilson frank mir was a black belt in jiu jitsu and Brock smashed him.
@@jerryhan2764 lol,Taker is different,if he went to mma instead of wwe he would beat Lesnar,but yeah i agree Lesnar smashed Mir
Lance 'Ryder' Wilson how different is he that makes you think he can beat Lesnar. You’re telling me Taker’s jiu jitsu is so good that it’s even better than one of the best submissioners in the world at the time. We’ve never even seen Taker compete in mixed martial arts. His career would’ve probably turned out like CM Punk
Wonder how blurred the lines will be now that they are one company
I could've sworn Undertaker said, "Don't be scared, homie" as Brock walked past him
Debating about who would win a fight is useless. You don't have to be or have been in the UFC to be a great fighter or the greatest. Fights aren't always black and white. In many different situations the outcome of a fight could change. Also, Losing a fight does not always mean you were not as good as the other person, it does mean that you were not as prepared. When i say prepared, it includes all possible factors of a fight, even some that you could not control, something like a specific health problem. There is no reason to beat yourself up after a fight or use it as an excuse to say you were not as good, just be better.
Thank you
Vince is a very very powerful and very rich man he has a good amount of influence. . He allone has more money then the ufc much less his whole family. But this I feel was a act by both

Holy shit this is the greatest 360p video of alltime
That was awesome, while he was saying that he respecting Vince his eyes turn to his right side. Must have killed him to say it.
Huh? That's reflecting from memory 95 percent of the time. He's always said this and has s good relationship with him. Vince is wack bit you are trippin

It shows Dana white has little fear
With the undertaker
Lol Dana looks like a demon from supernatural on the thumbnail 😂😂
What the MMA fans and Dana don't know is undertaker was one of the people who were pissed at Lesnar for the way he left WWE 04 after they handed him everything on a platter. So he pretty much did to UFC what he did to WWE.
really funny last name, Anyway thank you Mr. Balls for the interview :)
Taker in his prime and if he worked on MMA for a couple of years He would smash Lesner.
lol, doubt it.
unknown person doubt it all you want that doesn't change the facts. Lesnar would be destroyed and then he would rest in pieces!!!!!!!!!
ronald sullivan lol, uh huh.

I've been a WWE fan since I was a small child and there is nothing in this world that would stop me from watching it, and I'm 28. I've been watching UFC since its first ever PPV.

"what we do is real...like boxing..." lol boxing is fixed, and has been for decades
Yup, so is wrestling, all the bumps, fell off the cell, slam on the concrete floor & table, ladders. I think it caused more injuries than anything.
i love how he was like i dont want to say its fake but it is? lol
Well Goldberg and lesnar and undertaker are better than any ufc fighter
Change Undertaker with Rusev.
Wow not even sure if your joking!
Typical wwetards
You all do know that the 3 of them are real fighters and talented enough to be in UFC right?
stfu wwe is fake ufc is real

Vince mcmahon FEARS DANA WHITE!!!!
no he doesn't, he's called him out heaps and dana keeps saying no
Why the hell would he fear Dana White? He can buy and sell him many times over.
two words. TRIANGLE CHOKE
Jeremy Gott
He doesn't fear him, I bet. But that said..
Vince is worth more than Dana but the UFC is estimated by Forbes to be worth more than WWE.
No way !! Vince doesnt fear Dana !! NEVER ...
I had to view in widescreen just to read his full name
my point is THEY are fans not "friend fans" Many of them become friends AFTER they have been fans for awhile. Mainly because they respect what they do.
exactly Dana don't blurr the lines don't want people to think of UFC as "entertainment". It's a sport people need to remember that
Well you heard wrong. Next time check your sources.
Why does Dana White always look like hes on the verge of tears?
too much stress
Can you give me the link? Wanna read it... :)
You don't think I know the difference? Matt Hughes is good friends with The Undertaker, Tito Ortiz actually performed in TNA, Chael uses Billy Graham promos and Chuck and Randy have been seen at several WWE events and have said they are fans of PRO wrestling in articles.
everybody liked it during the attitude era chael publicly expressed being a fan of stone cold steve austin

Dan Severn was an NWA World Heavyweight Champion and made a great transition into MMA, Don Frye was also a professional wrestler and became a great Mixed Martial Artist, Brock Lesnar had a professional wrestling run and become a somewhat decent MMA fighter and to any MMA fan who disrespects professional wrestling for being scripted, I recommend you watch a Davey Richards NJPW match or the stunts that were pulled in the original ECW and you tell me whats fake.
That guy's last name is Stroumboulopoulos? Imagine putting that on the back of some type of jersey or something lmao
UFC is a promotion. MMA is the sport. For the last time...
what exxactly is the attitude era...what time period was it and why do they call it that? also what divas were from it?
Theres not many people that can say the undertaker phoned them to apologise
neither, its pretty clear that they signal each other before finishes. its clearly predetermined.
how do you pronounce Stroumboulopoulos? lol
i bet the host hate filling out paperwork
I wouldnt mind seeing the video you are talking about tho
No reason Dana should be afraid that it would blur the lines, unless he knows something that we don't - that maybe The UFC is somewhat of a work and not entirely a shoot and he's worried about people finding out. That would explain him being oversensitive about "blurring the lines." If UFC is totally real competition, why would he be afraid that fans would be confused by Brock being in both WWE and UFC when McMahon has publicly stated that WWE wrestlers do in their matches what he says to do?
UFC needs somebody like the rock to get views and if they did promos like in wwe it would be alot more watched
@theburningattack No I disagree. When two guys seem to like each other, its because they just spent anywhere up to 25 minutes trying to kill each other. They know how much blood sweat and tears they put into their training camp to prepare for the fight, and when they get in the octagon and meet face to face with another athlete who did the exact same thing, there's an automatic mutual respect. But as Jaremus said, this isn't always the case. At least, not right away.
Well im pretty sure if they said Mark Callaway more than half of the watchers would have no idea who theyre talking about
Boxing has been around for generations, like 1600 if not further. MMA has only been big in America since about 1995, but to see the growth MMA has had in those short years is amazing.
When people realize MMA is actually safer and understand more of what is going on, boxing wont be nearly as big ... I'd say it's already on the decline.
So i know its beenb so long ago since that happened but does anyone know or have an idea of what was the deal between brock and undertaker that night?
@ratnick I agree. To say they aren't competitors is absurd. Just cuz Dana said they aren't competition doesn't make it true.
Keep telling your self that, and while you're at it, santa claus does exist!
@DarrenF4648 Erm...WWE/WWF business started to tank in 2001, when WWE/WWF was very much non-PG. What you don't seem to understand is that bad booking causes business to hit the toilet, not family-friendly storylines. Like I said before, WWE/WWF did monster business circa 1984-1991, with a product that was much more PG than today. Bad booking causes business to hit the skids, whether it's PG or 'Attitude'.
@theburningattack Also, every UFC fighter understands that they're in a business. They know that to really be successful, you need to have a fan base. Fans are the ones who pour their money into the UFC, and at the end of the day, the more fans you have, the bigger audiences you'll attract for your fights, and the more money you'll make for the company. If GSP and Anderson Silva both lost 3 consecutive fights, do you think they'd be cut? Hard to say, their popularity is almost unprecedented
is this george sotiroupoulos?
The person that came up with Georges last name must have been really, really high.
why not? did ufc fighters not have a childhood? most people were wwe fans at a point in time. I still watch every once in a while.
Dana White is a class act! Great response to the Undertaker and Brock Lesnar situation. I'm a fan of MMA and I'm a fan of WWE but Dana said it correctly and that is they're completely two different entities.
Search it up on google. This happened years ago.
You are saying these guys are able to hit each other with the steel chair at full force and still be able to stand up? I agree that you have to be athletic and be able to take risks to perform in the WWE, but come on, there is no way that it is not fake.
What the puck!!! How did you come up with that conclusion...?
WWE is Entertainment and UFC is real competition,
@Haseeb2 I agree for the most part besides the whole "ufc greater risk for injury" thing. I'm not denying those dudes are getting KO'd and risking concussions and possible broken limbs with armbars and such...but professional wrestler are putting there LIVES on the line on pretty much a daily basis. Wrestling is very danerous, and I think wrestlers are taking a far bigger risk in the injury department than fighters.
An MMA guy who talks sense and reason? Didn't see that coming...
On more placid note, Dana is absolutely right, wrestling is entertainment. Brock Lesnar/Undertaker encounter was simply a case of Taker and Lesnar seeing eachother for the first time in a long time, shareing words and just so happened to have a camera documenting it. People think that UFC and MMA are similar when in reality they're totally different. WWE is not trying to outdo UFC for the simple fact that they have no reason to.
There is no exuse, Cain beat him in a "boxing match" then Cain lost to Dos Santos, and etc etc.
Ability vs technique.
Sorry, but there are thousands of guys training MMA at various gyms in the US alone. Being a massive, athletic man (The Undertaker) who has "some MMA skills," is an entirely different thing than a UFC Champion. Training does not equal true ability, and certainly not execution.
This is the kinda fact that research should reveal.
WWE is basically a popular, never ending movie with Athletic guys who probably could kick ass if they wanted. The UFC is a sport, with real competitiveness. No lines blurred, just facts.
@TheSurge in ufc too...wat was the reason kimbo is nah fighting in the ufc anymore? what happen at ufc 113?....
this video, LITERALLY told me nothing that I didn't know.
Good move there Dana. As silly as it sounds, I've met several people who thought MMA was fake fighting. If pro Wrestling and MMA combine, casual fans may think it's the same thing. UFC could potentially lose alot of it's fanbase who stopped watching Wrestling to watch "real" fights, if it's authenticity becomes questioned. Although I suppose Japan has combined the 2 successfully before.
You would be VERY surprised. Diego Sanchez, Matt Hughes, Tito Ortiz, Chael Sonnen, Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture and more have all stated multiple times that they are huge wrestling fans. I don't understand people that don't think you can be fans of both. They're so different. I love going to WWE events, but I also love going to UFC fights. I don't see why that has become a social faux pas.
Dana looks scared because he knew Vince was trying to get Brock back and Dana didn't want to lose him. The taker thing was win or lose Brock and take will have a face to face stare down. The wanna do it line was, wanna end the streak?
0:35 Dana White is friends with Mr. McMahon LOLL
Its canvas over top of wood so it has give when you land on it and reduces impact. And they do a thing called break-falling. Look it up. They use the same principle in Judo.
I can wholeheartedly agree with that.
you do know mark is a black belt in bjj right?
why does it seem that the wwe is so popular among canadians? and now that i think about it the same can be said about mixed martial arts.
Who would win in a ufc fight Brock Lesnar or The undertaker
It's obvious Dana doesn't like the WWE and is in competition with them at how big they are
you didnt even mention the ground game. most ufc guys would just take you to the ground and dominate you without giving you a chance to strike.
I really think this beef is real. I heard something a long time ago that a lot of WWE wrestlers had an off-screen grudge with Lesnar and then this came up. It really didn't seem fake, I'm sure if they were faking it they would have showed what Lesnar said or did as he passed you know they were never good actors.
