Brock Lesnar is a former UFC and WWE heavyweight champion, who is currently in the middle of his second run terrorizing professional wrestling. He’s lined up to headline SummerSlam, WWE’s second-biggest event of the year, against The Undertaker; their match is relegating the WWE title match to a mere co-feature.
Lesnar stopped by SportsCenter to talk about SummerSlam, and got to responding to UFC president Dana White's comments about wrestling being "fake." Lesnar didn't deny it, but said both WWE and UFC were "in the same racket." Then he said WWE CEO Vince McMahon was better at it than White.

“The business model is the same. It’s identical, and I think Vince McMahon is better at it than Dana White and that might rub Dana the wrong way,” Lesnar said. “Vince is the pioneer of it. He’s been doing this his whole life. And he’s damn good at it.”
Lesnar described the similarity between the two products.
“Of course Dana, it’s fake. Everybody knows that. You’re promoting the same thing we’re promoting. Dana White is promoting fights. We’re promoting fights. It just so happens that we get a little more longevity out of our fight, and out of our fighters because of the circumstances.”

Also, wrestling is fake in the sense of the determined outcomes, and rehearsed moves. The athleticism on display can not be faked, however, and the wrestlers suffer severe injuries at times. Just a few weeks ago Superstar John Cena, the WWE’s most bankable performer, had his nose brutally broken by an errant knee from WWE heavyweight champion Seth Rollins.
