Another combat sport like WWE, UFC is another sport where fans crowd the stadiums in order to watch the matches. Ronda Rousey, a former UFC star, recently spoke on her gaming stream, about the types of fans present in these two companies.
Speaking on her latest gaming stream she said, “I would say that the WWE fans care more about the wrestlers than the UFC fans care more about the fighters. UFC fans have much less respect for the veterans and legends of the sport than WWE fans do.”
She continued, “A lot of UFC fans are kind of like bandwagon fans in that way. The second you’re not on top, you’re dead to them. Where WWE fans are like, ‘this is the guy that did this 20 years ago’ and are still really excited whereas UFC fans now are like, ‘Forrest Griffin s**ks.’ Uhh, you owe basically the whole sport to him. S**t like that. ‘Anderson Silva s**ks. GSP [Georges St-Pierre] s**ks.'”
Herself a veteran of the sport, she stated UFC fans do not have respect for the legends and veterans of the sport, who elevated the game. She further stated that although the respect was not completely absent; it was not on the same level as the WWE fans.
