Of course it has a place. For a start the most over guy in the world in the MMA world is a pro wrestler (Bob Sapp). A wrestler drew one half of the biggest gate America in MMA history (Ken Shamrock). UFC have found the right mix now in my opinion. Wrestling style promos and vignettes with boxing style entrances. I don't know of one person who saw Lee Murray's entrance on the last show and didn't love it.

The show this Friday should be a cracker and for all you WWE fans out there thinking about buying a show, take the money you would spend on Judgment Day and buy this show instead.
