I knew MMA fans wouldn’t like this segment or interview to do a wrestling angle. C’mon now. It’s pro wrestling. You have to sell a match. What do you think Conor McGregor does? He makes the big bucks just because he can put butts in seats and people talking. Where do you think he got that from? The Vince McMahon walk he does in the octagon? WWE. So as Chris Jericho would say, drink it in maaannnnn

@@CARTOONIVERSE1 The ironic part is guys like Connor McGregor and Chael Sonnen, two of the greatest as far promoting a fight were both clearly inspired by pro wrestling and the theatrics. Dana White himself was inspired by Vince McMahon in so many ways. Hell you can go all the way back to Muhammad Ali who was inspired by Gorgeous George, a wrestler from the 50's. UFC was inspired by pro wrestling a long time ago, which is partly what separated it from other MMA promotions. If anything it took away alot of the old school wrestling audience tha was tired of the direction wrestling started going in 15-20 years ago and that coincided with the rise in popularity of UFC.

Split the show in two and give the two halves different names. I used to watch the non-MMA interviews out of curiosity and because they were sparingly used, now it feels that they make up too much of the show. I expect that you pull better figures with Becky Lynch and Eddie Hearn than you do with some young prospect fighter, so I get it, congrats for your success etc, but the show needs to be called something other than "The MMA Hour" at this point.
