Jerry Lawler Says WWE Stars Far Outshine UFC Stars

– Jerry Lawler believes that WWE stars have more mainstream recognition than ones from the UFC. Lawler spoke with Steven Muehlhausen of SportingNews.com at C2E2 the weekend before last and you can see the video below.

When asked about Ronda Rousey being at WrestleMania, he said, “I think a lot of people would look at that as saying, oh here’s a big star from the UFC coming into the WWE world. In the grand scheme of things, the stars in the WWE far outshine the stars in the UFC worldwide and in popularity. It’s always a great marriage so to speak. When you can get the rub off of each other. It’s like cross-promotion. It’s good for everybody involved. And to see Ronda Rousey in a WWE ring and I know for me because I’m a big fan of her, it was exciting, it was fun and it caused a bit of talk which is exactly what it was designed to do.”
