Why don't UFC fans . . .?

Question

make signs to support their favorite fighter just like WWE fans?

Answer 1

because wwe is a soap opera for people who are to stupid to realize it is not real. Comparing wwe to MMA is an insult.

Answer 2

WTF?!?!?!  Simple.....  Dana White, using the UFC as the fore front, is trying to establish and show the American and world audiences that MMA (Mixed martial arts..... unfortunately also known as UFC) is a true sport.  Show me any real sport where fans wave banners and posterboard around to support their teams.  Simply put, you dont see it.  MMA is human chess.  Make a wrong move and your night is over.  MMA is establishing itself as a sport and not pathetic, rigged form of entertainment.

Please give these athletes the credit they deserve!

Answer 3

WWE fans don't make the sign either. The are handed signs as they enter the arena. Also the idea of signs is to turn on the viewer. You can't think that a possible pro wrestling hater would enjoy signs that are similar to the program they hate. Dana White probably acknowledges his company has a major fanbase of ex-pro wrestling fans and does not want to lose them.

Answer 4

I saw one sign during Lidell Silva and it sayd "liddell give him h**l"

or something like that...

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 8

because if i paid to watch a fight and all i could see is the back of some stupid sign then it would be me in the fight

Answer 9

once again bob Jr is the man

Answer 10

The last thing they need is to be compared even closer to the WWE.  And I think there are a few signs in the crowd, they are just not as prominent as the ones you see in the WWE.

Answer 11

well i wouldnt because its such a brutal and serious sport... wwe is all about entertainment & fans taking sides of the wrestlers storylines.. it would look a bit weird seeing "MARRY ME COUTURE " or "I CAME TO SEE LIDDELL".. you just wouldnt do that in a room full of intensity and proper violence.. its about showing respect to both the fighters in the octagon
