Stone Cold Steve Austin, one of the legends of professional wrestling, appeared on the MMA Hour Monday afternoon and spoke on a multitude of topics, including his love of mixed martial arts and UFC 175.
Austin is an avid MMA fan who orders every pay per view, and is excited for UFC 175 this weekend. When asked by host Ariel Helwani which he prefers between pro wrestling and MMA, Austin provided a surprising answer.
"Totally MMA," said the former 6-time WWE champ. "I can still watch as a fan, a complete fan. I know some strategies, I know some game plans that I would have maybe gone with if I was one of the fighters, or told my fighter to do. But I know the game of professional wrestling and I can see right through that. This keeps me a little bit more suspended. Don't get me wrong, I come from pro wrestling and I always will love it, but just as a fan, I get more out of watching MMA because I don't know everything."
