No he doesnt. In certion aspects he sees similarites but to say he thinks they are the same thing simply isnt true.
He has outright said in the past, in no uncertain terms, that MMA is what pro wrestling would be if it were legit. Admittedly, that's not the exact same thing as "MMA = wrestling", but it's close enough.
It pretty much is especially when you compare it to some bouts in the early part of the century.
Is that Missy Hyatt again I take it?
