“Well brother, it’s definitely an exciting sport…this crowd is just electric. I have tremendous respect for these dudes who go out there and put it all on the line, they’re amazing athletes.”
When asked about the UFC’s business model, Hogan praised the current business model but suggested some possible improvements.
“Dana [White] does a great job, and it’s obviously working, I mean the sport is huge right now compared to a few years ago. But I just think there are little things he could do to improve the show, dude. With a nice entrance way, some pyrotechnics and custom entrance music for his fighters, it would ensure a much more fan friendly environment and allow the fans to better identify the individual fighters.
