UFC
President Dana White and WWE Kingpin Vince McMahon
have been running two of the biggest sports entities
on a global scale for several years. Although both
the companies with high-level combat and life-threatening
action, UFC and WWE are highly different.
Representing
the culture of sports and entertainment, WWE is merely
a wresting based-program that is pre-scripted. However,
UFC is strictly an MMA-based promotion, which unveils
professional combat to the mass audience.
eanwhile,
WWE was formed much before UFC came live into our
television screens, and on comparing them both, Vince
McMahon’s WWE has produced many more household
figures.
However,
the reality-based feature in Ultimate Fighting Championship
is what urged Dana White to take a dig at Vince McMahon.
After a nail-biting Interim heavyweight championship
fight at UFC 265, White expressed his views on the
event and revealed why Vince McMahon can never do
something similar like that.
In
the post-fight
presser of UFC 265, Dana White said, “It
doesn’t get any better than this. You couldn’t
write it, you couldn’t script it. F**** Vince
McMahon couldn’t have wrote a better script for
this whole thing. It’s beautiful.”
While
WWE and UFC are known for producing their popular
PPVs every month they hardly compete against each
other. Both the companies have their fixed fan bases,
which guarantee a particular benchmark of success
for both. However, several athletes have embraced
both promotions throughout the year.

VS UFC: Dana White and Vince McMahon managing same
fighters
Throughout the years, fighters like Ronda Rousey,
Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, and even Cain Velasquez have
explored through both companies. While a few of them,
like Rousey and Lesnar, could have their moments in
both areas, it wasn’t really well for Velasquez
and CM Punk.
CM Punk faced a harsh reality after entering the UFC
cage and two fights back-to-back, before accepting
retirement. Similarly, Velasquez was doomed by Brick
Lesnar inside the WWE ring, whereas he could easily
beat the’ Beast in the UFC cage. Hence, the prime
differences and nature of both the sports have showcased
different scenarios, which validate a prevailing debate
about WWE and UFC.
