Eric Bischoff doesn’t think WWE will be able to keep up with the UFC’s releases.
The UFC tend to release fighters who lose three fights in a row in the promotion, so it is not uncommon for the company to release fighters every few weeks, sometimes releasing several fighters at once. WWE on the other hand tend to have a big clear out every few months where several wrestlers are released by the company.
During a recent episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff brought up Endeavor’s merger of the UFC and WWE and how he believes everything will play out internally.
“Will there be cost cuts? Of course there will, because there’s a lot of duplication.”
“This is a guess, I suspect that there’ll be more layoffs … within UFC than there probably will be in WWE. I say that because WWE is a very sophisticated, mature business compared to UFC.”

Bischoff has previously commented on WWE’s sale to Endeavor, remarking at his surprise that Vince McMahon would actually sell the company.
