UFC needs to realize that they will never be as popular as the WWE.

has anyone read this horrible article??? i found this in another thread...its the worst thing i have ever read...plus i posted this to see how many people only read titles here and cus me out..

-Here's what I tell the Ultimate Fighting Championship with their response to the Kurt Angle open challenge storyline in ECW: JUST SHUT UP. UFC needs to realize that they will never be as popular as the WWE. Right now, UFC is seeing larger live crowds than in the last 5 or so years... However, they were pretty hot during the mid-1990's and soon sizzled out, too. UFC is a complete fad and it's already dying off with diminishing ratings on Spike TV. But to "respond" to the WWE is laughable. UFC, you aren't even in the same class as the WWE financially and on success terms. Secondly, I'll take a HEALTHY Kurt Angle over any of your UFC fighters. Make sure you read my word "healthy", as an Olympic Gold Medalist being trained to be a MMA fighter would absolutely kill any fighter that UFC has to offer. In fact, it wouldn't even be close. Even with UFC's adjusted rules to limit ground fighters, Angle would still kick UFC's ass. UFC can talk smack in return all they want. They know that a healthy Kurt Angle could mop the floor with any of their fighters. Therefore, UFC should just shut up and realize that mixed martial arts and professional wrestling are two different entities and should be focused on as such.

So why exactly did you create this separate thread?

You have to admit that if Angle went into the UFC instead of the WWE around 1998, he would have been a badass. But yeah, the guy who wrote that article is an ignorant jackass. He obviously hasn't seen the PPV buys figures for this year. The UFC already beat Wrestlemania with UFC 60 and is routinely outselling them each month on PPV. That is not the sign of a fad considering PPV buys are still on the rise.
