I’m not sure if anyone saw this or not, but this month on the 15th was a UFC PPV event. The headlining match was the Randy Couture versus Brock Lesnar. Couture is a long time veteran of the UFC that kept defying the odds by winning fights against top fighters and championships. Being 45 at his last fight, Lesnar the young opponent received a title fight against Couture after only having 3 frights and losing to one. No Lesnar use to being the WWE heavy weight champion, that’s for pro wrestling. He has absolutely no technique or much skill for that matter as a MMA fighter. The only reason, he received the title fight was because of his big fan base that he brought over from wrestling. Their were many top contenders for this title fight, but Lesnar received it for the revenue the UFC would get from it. They hyped this fight to be the biggest in UFC history, when actually it was far from it. This just shows what people in power can make viewers believe. Its all about hegemony and what the media represents as the biggest thing since “sliced bread.” All they see is ratings and $$$.
