one thing ufc lacks and never really had is:
CHARISMA!
The WWF which became WWE was awesome as fuck because they had electrifying people. They were very entertaining. The UFC is trying to become something like that without hurting the integrity of the sport. Just look at Connor. He actually brings it all together. But he doesn’t have the charisma of Dwayne Johnson and Steve Austin.
In my opinion, I don’t care for charisma in ufc. I watch because the skills in the cage do all the talking. However, they are a business. They will try to do what makes the most money.
