In the past, we have seen UFC stars appearing in WWE and in other pro wrestling promotions. For example, WWE SmackDown superstar Ronda Rousey, Cain Velasquez, and others have stepped inside the pro wrestling ring in the past. But several WWE stars once took a shot at the UFC president Dana White.

Some years ago, Dana White got some hostile reactions for calling WWE and pro wrestling “fake”. Soon after White’s “fake” comments, some WWE stars took to social media to reply to White’s claims, including Sheamus and Mick Foley.

Below are some tweets from Dana White and the responses from Sheamus and Mick Foley. Foley noted that “fake” was a poor word choice by the UFC President.

Though the results are mostly predetermined in WWE, the bumps and risks the pro wrestlers take inside the ring are real. They also get injured during matches and sometimes, the injuries can also end their careers.
