Nowadays, it is not that difficult to hear that UFC and WWE are on the same level as each other. It has become even more common with people considering the two similar forms of sports, given how WWE stars are trying their luck in Mixed Martial Arts, and UFC stars making the jump to the World Wrestling Entertainment Inc.

However, the truth could not be more different.

The two sports forms are completely different. There are of course certain similarities in both forms of combat. Both require an immense amount of training and for the fighters to be incredibly talented. They are far from being as simple as some people believe them to be and require complete dedication if the performers are to be able to perform well in them.

The fanbases of both are in love with the concept and are hardcore supporters and advocates.

With such fanbases, the two often come head to head with both bases claiming their favourite form of combat requires more from the fighters and performers and is basically tougher.

In this article, we will be outlining 5 separate reasons why UFC is tougher than WWE.

In WWE, whatever else the performers are doing, there is immense trust between two workers. They depend on each other and work together to put on a performance that will leave the audience completely awestruck looking on at their in-ring work.

This is completely the opposite of what happens in an Octagon. The two fighters inside the cage have to enter it knowing they are completely alone there.

Not for no reason is it that they talk about how the Octagon is the most lonely place in the world.

They have to work by themselves while still looking to put on a show, but give more priority to actually surviving inside the Octagon.
