- Hulk said UFC was a "work-shoot" (exact quotes) and argued that point with Brent who is the BTLS producer and is training in MMA currently. When Bubba tried to ask if Hogan meant that the fights were a shoot but everything else was a work, Hogan said "whatever brother" and "to wake up and smell the dog s***" regarding UFC's legitimacy. Hogan said Brent has no idea because he never had a match.
lol, what kook he needs to start taking meds it seems.

Worked-shoot is the term for any occurrence that is scripted by the creative team to come off as unscripted and therefore appear as though it were a real life happening, but in fact is still part of the show. This can be seen as an example of the writers breaking the fourth wall and attempting to court the certain cache of fans who are interested in shoots, i.e. events outside of the traditional in-ring wrestling matchups. This community of "smart" pro-wrestling fans are sometimes referred to as "smarks."
Some examples of worked shoots:
On June 12, 2005, at the One Night Stand 2005 PPV, Rob Van Dam cut an interview about his dissatisfaction with the direction of his character in WWE. Later in the same show, Paul Heyman cut a shoot interview where he scolded Edge for having an affair with female wrestler Lita, who was at the time the girlfriend of Matt Hardy. In the same interview, Heyman told JBL, "The only reason you were WWE Champion for almost a year was because Triple H didn't want to work Tuesdays!" (SmackDown!, the show on which JBL was then a wrestler and is now a color commentator, is taped on Tuesdays.) The berated wrestlers took these remarks with amusement.
On the July 25, 2005 edition of RAW, Shawn Michaels cut an in-ring promo for his upcoming match with Hulk Hogan at SummerSlam. Notably, he finished the promo by telling Hogan "Whatcha gonna do when the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels, won't lay down for you?" This is not only a play on Hogan's normal "Whatcha gonna do..." catchphrase, but is also a thinly veiled reference to the infamous Fingerpoke of Doom, a 1999 incident in which Michaels' old friend Kevin Nash blatantly laid down for Hogan in a WCW Championship match. Michaels continued to make such comments during and after the feud.
On the November 2, 2006 edition of TNA iMPACT!, Kip and B.G. James announced they were quitting. Kip James grabbed a microphone and tried to say something further, but it was cut off. Kip then tried to use the announcer's headset, but it was cut off as well. Frustrated, he started yelling loudly to the crowd but he was cut off as the show went to a "sudden" commercial break. When the show returned, the announcers speculated that they may have been frustrated due to the influx of new talent entering TNA. It was reported that the segment was a worked shoot that Vince Russo had written in order to renew interest upon their eventual return.

Re: UFC is a "work shoot" Says Hulk Hogan
He's just saying stuff to get people talking about him. The man's ego needs it. And it works, we're talking about him again!!!
Of course if he does truly believe it, stick him in with a UFC guy and let's have some fun, but he doesn't......unless he's insane. Which he possibly is. What was my point again?

I am so sick of Hogan, words can't really express it.
However, and I may be giving him too much credit here, he may be referring to the fake hype which happens before some fights. For example Nate Quarry commented that he was told to say that he though Rich Franklin had a weak chin, simply to make it seem as the fight was a bit more heated.
