UFC COULD TEACH PRO WRESTLING A LOT ABOUT PRO WRESTLING

JON JONES AND ALEXANDER GUSTAFSSON

At UFC 165 Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson put on an incredible fight that show both men's love, passion and desire for the sport. Eventhough Jones won the fight by unanimous decision, a rematch is already being talked about.
 
This fight reminded me of what's missing in wrestling: two men entering a ring fighting for a title and wanting to be the best. I think this is the reason that more people have turned away from wrestling and turned to UFC and MMA.
 

JIM CORNETTE

Jim Cornette said it best in an interview on what UFC does better than WWE when he said, "They build the champion and the challenger up as the two baddest assholes on the planet and they are going to fight for a belt and for some money and we are going to see who wins that used to be wrestling, now its UFC and now wresting has become sports-entertainment where: 'What’s going to happen in the soap opera?' The passion has been rung out of it and the emotion has been rung out of it.
 
Hopefully WWE or TNA will realize that they don't need gimmicks and soap opera storylines to keep fans invested.
