Ugly but Khabib-Conor rivalry plays into WWF model

Yes, I said WWF not WWE because I don’t know WTF is going on recently with wrestling, but I do remember the “gang warfare” storylines back in the day in WCW and later WWF with NWO and other groups (damn, how many acronyms can be in one post lol).

Artem versus Khabib’s teammate and other match ups between the two teams/gangs can solve the “superstar”/character problem that UFC has that was partly destroyed by the homogenous nature of the Rebok fight kits etc.

Yes, Egg says it’s “disgusting” but as he says “let’s see how it plays out” as far as what UFC/IMG-WME really does/promotes versus how outraged they say they are.

This isn’t a sport and they havent tried to make it one in a long time. This plays exactly into what they want, a spectacle. All this will translate into $$$ for everyone.

It definitely has been leaning that way for quite a while, if not always.

Even the whole smoke thing in the ring when Conor came out was 100% WWE
