5 similarities between the WWE and the UFC

#4 Titles don’t mean as much as they should

Nunes felt incredibly disrespected in the buildup to her fight against Ronda Rousey

This is one of the negatives associated with both promotions. Lack of respect towards a Championship is something that has been plaguing the WWE for years and now it seems like the UFC is destined to go down the same path.

For a long long time now, the WWE has struggled with getting its titles to mean as much as they should. From bad booking to terrible belt designs and everything in between, a lot of legitimacy has been lost. Hopefully, they can set this right soon.

One can see that the UFC is in danger of committing the same mistakes if some of their recent decisions are scrutinised.

Giving Conor McGregor a shot at Eddie Alvarez’s belt when the Irishman hadn’t defended his own belt for a year. McGregor getting a shot over both Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson. Building all the hype around Ronda Rousey even though her opponent, Amanda Nunes, was actually the Champion.

You can see what I’m getting at. This is something both promotions need to address.
