Is the UFC fake?

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.
