    Canada has a tradition in wrestling too, not to mention that it's culturally wedded to the USA.

    What attendance records have they broken in the UK? They're own?

    UFC isn't all that popular in the UK. Deal with it.

    God, your ****ing clueless :lol:

    It was actually the gate record for The Wembley Arena for ANY sporting event, a complete sell out as well, infact.

    Funny that isn't it? Considering the United Kingdom has literally ZERO background in wrestling.

    I think you must be pretty clueless if you think breaking the gate receipts record in anyway supports what you're saying - you clearly don't understand what it means. It just means the gross income from ticket sales surmounted all other sporting events held in the venue hitherto - how is a high gross income suggestive of overall popularity of the sport in this country? Answer: it isn't suggestive at all - but it sounds good so you cited it. This was within an arena capacity of about 10,000 - the Froch / Kessler fight is in an arena with 20,000 capacity. The Bellew / Chilemba fight was at a packed Echo Arena, with a likewise 12,000 arena capacity - for what was, effectively, a pretty run of the mill show. Puts it into perspective.

    But you're right - UFC is incredibly popular :roll:

    Perhaps I should be gentle and little precise with my language: UFC / MMA is a minority sport, it will likely always remain so given that the essential factor of the sport - wrestling - has no tradition in this country whatsoever. But please, don't construe from that, which you clearly have, that nobody attends or watches the sport, because they clearly do, but compared to other sporting events in this country, it is an absolute periphery sport.

    Why does Boxers always have to go to the cage? Why not the other way around? I'm Dana White wouldn't encourage none of them in the UFC to do such a thing, Knowing the boxer will have the advantage.

    Because, for the 1000th time, there aren't any MMA fighters that disrespect boxing and say that they could easily win titles given the opportunity.

    Cain also could paralyze him in a wrestling match.

    Cain would either choke him or break his limbs in a BJJ match.

    But, yeah, sure... draw.

    Ehhhh, not quite the same tone as Fury's (or Toney's) claims.
