Professional wrestling was hugely popular for decades before the WWE and maintained kayfabe almost perfectly for that entire span of time. The UFC could be in the former nascent stage right now, where the entire thing is a work.

I'm not definitively stating that to be true, just re-stating Rant's thesis in a way that you might comprehend.

The wrestling that was in the olympics was not "kayfabe", it was real. Stop being nerdy consiracy theorists and post sources or gtfo.

Do you people not understand that wrestling is an actual sport and came before the WWE? Wrestling has been in the olympics since forever. Been cut out for awhile, but reinstated for 2020. ACTUAL wrestling. WWE is an entertainment company based on wrestling. So to say UFC could be in the same position as professional wrestling once was is completely moronic, since the wrestling you are speaking of is not kayfabe. It is ancient and has been in the olympics forever.

If you think pro wrestling has anything to do with Greco-Roman wrestling Sub you're insane or completely ignorant of pro-wrestling's history. Pro-wrestling comes from catch wrestling and traveling carnival strongman shows. The two have nothing to do with each other besides being called wrestling and the fact that sometimes collegiate and olympic wrestlers will come into pro wrestling. Catch was taking place in the 1800s and before and got really popular during the early 1900s.

This is actually false. The catch-as-catch-can style that became popular in Europe throughout the late 1800's, and early 1900's originated from greco-roman style as a freestyle variant. So, while it may be a small factor in its foundation, greco-roman style wrestling was important in the formation of what we now consider to be professional wrestling.

any sport/event can be rigged.. we as consumers will never really know unless were in on it.. as far as your initial question if UFC is fake.be specific.. fake in what sense. the outcomes?or the actual hits and damage that gets done?

comeon man , even WWE is real .
How can naked men fighting be fake ?

In this specific case, the outcomes.

we will never know.

Illuminati

If you think WWE is real then yes UFC is fake. It's all about how U define the terminology.
