At UFC Fight Night: Barnett vs. Nelson, after Josh Barnett went the distance with “Big Country” Roy Nelson, he made a declaration in his post-fight interview. After being announced the winner, he said “Pro wrestling is strong…” Without pro wrestling, we would not have MMA (and certainly not your favorite website MMASucka.com). For those that think pro wrestling is only WWE, there was a time when pro wrestling was treated as a legitimate contest. Promotions such as Union of Wrestling Forces International (UWFi), Pancrase (Guy Metzger is on record saying that some of the MMA matches were worked), and Inoki Genome Federation would showcase pro wrestling in a realistic style.
