Huerta exemplifies perfectly how MMA is just like Pro Wrestling, even though MMA dorks get their panties twisted when anyone says that.

Huerta was being pushed as a potential latino superstar, and fed guys who they knew he could beat, and racked up one of the longest winning streaks in UFC history. When the bad blood surfaced, Zuffa turned on him, booked him with a guy he would lose to, and proceeded to bury him in dark prelims.

You are what the promoters want you to be.

Thats why I was telling Rosetta that the UFC runs more like the WWE at this point
 
On the UG someone brought up Joe as a 'company man' which isnt true, Joe does his own thing, but anyway

We asked him a couple questions, at first he said 'the UFC never tells me what to say about fighters' than someone said 'what about Randy?'

Joe than said the UFC told him not to mention Randy and I asked about 'fighting in Japan' and he said the UFC wouldnt let him mention Pride at the time, asked about Strikeoforce also and he didnt comment, maybe he missed the question, but more than likely he can not mention other promotions

How is this like wrestling? Sounds more like boxing to me.
 
Its like wrestling bcus they try to push fighters based on marketability. Boxing does similar things to push their stars aswell.

Marketing is marketing, they're still totally different. It's one thing to build a superstar by fabricating his image and character while scripting his wins, vs pitting someone against another fighter who he should in theory be capable of beating.
 
Its more like WWE because they control who you fight, in boxing you usually fight who you want to fight, more like a contractor

You dont have no where near the control in WWE/UFC like you do boxing

You think Rich, Chuck, Brock, etc...have the ability to control who they fight like PBF, Oscar, Roy Jones, etc...? No way

Also, you guys are crazy if you dont think the UFC tries to build certain fighters by giving them certain matches

They brought in Tank for Mir and Ken for Rich just to build them up, happens all the time

Obviously noone is saying the UFC is scripted.

But they are willing to feed cans to fighters to build them up for the crowd if they think they're marketable. Its wrestling-esque. Boxing does similar shit, like I said.. but in boxing theres a lot of negotiating for your own fights. Promoters dont really feed cans to fighters.. they might feed cans to themselves.
 
Also, thats why Dana got pissed at Cro Cop, he was trying to bring Cro Cop in to build up Cain, but Cro Cop said give me someone else first, he got Al Turk to beat and left

Dana wanted him to beat Al Turk and than try and have him fight Cain or Carwin, but Cro Cop used Dana like he was trying to use him

Absolutely the big stars in the UFC have control over who they fight. We see it happen all the time. Rampage didn't want to fight Machida, he wanted Evans and that's who he got. Cro Cop was given many, many options of fights and he finally chose Al-Turk. Chuck has always been given options, a list of fighters to select from. Guys turn down fights all the time too.

So what the UFC builds stars, why shouldn't they? Who doesn't try to build stars?

They can say they dont want to fight, if Dana agrees than its cool, if he wants you to fight and you dont, you're fucked, plan and simple

No one is saying they shouldnt, but you guys are saying its not like the WWE and more like boxing and thats not correct

Boxers have way more control, just because some UFC guys can turn down some fights and get different ones doesnt mean they have all this control

Fedor = control, UFC guys = not so much
 
KOF doesnt like Japanese fighters or Japanese MMA, Gomi was the man for a couple years and those were big upsets at the time, his record during that time speaks for itself

Not saying KOF is doing that, but to many fans in MMA love to rewrite history to put down fighters and fights in the past

HA !

All for naught Rob.

I just dont think one guy can be "shocked" twice. Once a guys been beaten by some nobody if it happens again how is it shocking ?
 
At the end of the day you're still trying to compare a male soap opera to a legitimate sport. In the UFC the top contenders will square off, marketing BS aside eventually the best will fight the best. Do you have this in the WWE? All you see is fabricated superstar vs fabricated superstar, so how are the two comparable? Can you even determine who's really the best when everything is scripted anyway? Plus what the UFC does is put their selves in win/win situations, which is a little bit different. Frank Mir vs Lesnar 1 is a win/win scenario. If Frank wins you have a very talented fighter who's going to be right back within the mainstream and gain a lot of popularity from many fans, new and old. If Brock wins he beats a legit opponent and sky rockets to fame.

Cro Cop vs Gonzaga is a win/win situation. Bonnar vs Jon Jones is a win/win situation. You see what I'm saying..

When someone wins TUF of course their first couple fights are against a can. What type of sense would it make to invest so many resources in this guy just to have him lose his first fight to have all the hype and popularity die before it begins. But, we all know eventually once he establishes him self he'll start to fight legit opponents where anything can happen. That's all a big difference than what goes down in the WWE.
 
The WWE is in complete control of everything, the UFC is not. A WWE superstar is born before he even wins his big "fight", and he'll remain a superstar for as long as the WWE wants him to be a superstar. All the UFC can do is slowly work a guy up the ranks, exact same thing as in boxing, and hope for the best. If the UFC was anything like the WWE Chuck Liddell would still be the champion of the LHW division.
 
I dont wanna turn this into a wrestling debate but a WWE star is far from born before he wins his big fight. They have to appeal to the crowd and get over just like in real sports. Even when the WWE tries to push its fighters it doesnt always go over with the crowd.

Dana wouldnt mind Chuck to still be the champ if he could still perform at that level. He would do whatever he could push him to that. Again.. noone is saying the UFC is WWE, its just a similar marketing ploy.
 
But, it's not the same for reasons stated earlier. You're right though and prove my point in that a WWE star must appeal to the crowd in order to become a star and be succesful. Well, again who in the UFC appeals to the crowd better than Chuck Liddell? No one, he was their biggest star and attracted more fans than any other fighter in the UFC. So, if the UFC was anything like the WWE Chuck Liddell would still be champ since he meets the WWE's criteria in that the fan base loves him. The UFC would be feeding him cans, not having him fight guys like Rampage, so Chuck could continue to bring them in more money than any other fighter would be capable of. There's no ploy to the UFC like there is with wrestling. It doesn't go down that way though since this is a sport, so the marketing has to be adapted to reflect an actual sport.
