Controversy Surrounds WWE Star Lola Vice’s Mention of Justin Gaethje in Trash Talk

The WWE has always been a controversial topic in the world of combat sports. While some fans view it as a form of entertainment, others refuse to accept it as a legitimate promotion. This divide was evident recently when ‘Forbes’ honored the WWE with the second spot in their list of most valuable combat sports promotions, leading to backlash from critics.

The controversy continued when WWE NXT star Lola Vice made headlines for using former UFC BMF champ Justin Gaethje’s UFC 300 KO loss as a reference in a video to intimidate her upcoming rival, Natalya. Fans were quick to criticize Vice for using Gaethje’s name in such a manner, with many defending the MMA fighter and expressing their disapproval of Vice’s actions.

Despite Vice’s background in both WWE and MMA, fans still found her words concerning Gaethje inappropriate. Many pointed out the stark differences in their respective fighting careers, with Gaethje’s impressive MMA record vastly overshadowing Vice’s limited accomplishments in the realm of combat sports.

Vice, known as Valerie Loureda during her pro-MMA career, holds a record of 4-1, with one of her KO victories coming from her only amateur fight. In contrast, Gaethje is a seasoned UFC fighter with multiple standout performances and a fanbase that adores him for his thrilling fights and incredible talent inside the octagon.

The backlash against Vice serves as a reminder that in the world of combat sports, respect and admiration are earned through hard work, dedication, and a track record of success. While Vice may have her own set of accomplishments, it is clear that fans hold Gaethje in high regard and will not tolerate any disrespect towards him.
