UFCThe Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a U.S.-based mixed martial arts organization, recognized as the largest MMA promotion in the world. The UFC is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and is owned and operated by Zuffa, LLC. This promotion is responsible for solidifying the sport's postion in the history-books.
UFC is currently undergoing a remarkable surge in popularity, along with greater mainstream media coverage. UFC programming can now be seen on FOX, FX, and FUEL TV in the United States, as well as in 35 other countries worldwide.
Come on now Dana. Im European, and no. The UFC is nowhere near Football (Soccer). Football is so far ahead any other sport in popularity Its not even fair. Actually MMA is so far down on the list here where i live I dont even think It would get into a top 10 sports popularity list
Dana obviously is a firm believer in both the "Repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it." and the "The more outrageous a lie is, the more likely people are to believe it." school of thought.
Ridiculous thing to say. His statement of 70% post secondary education is just as absurd for that matter. Yeah, there are a lot of college wrestlers who turn to MMA, but 70% college educated? No chance that is true, none.
there are roughly 12 Premier league games every week. Each stadium holds between 30,000 - 75,000. they get full, for every game, every week and are watched by millions upon millions of people around the country... EVERY WEEK! That is wtithout even going into the thousands and thousands of supporters that go to lower league games, some of which have massive 30,000+ stadiums.
UFC struggles to fill a 6,000 seater arena here once or twice a year.
I'd go so far as to say 99.9% of people living in the UK have heard of football. I dare say less than 25% have heard of MMA

Eh I would say a lot more people know about it than in the past with the rise of fighters like Bisping, Hardy, Pearson etc...
But still it is a tiny fraction of how many people know about soccer.

As far as Soccer, lol, he is blowing some seriouse smoke on that one.
As far as footbal globally, I could beleive that. But in the United States its not even close. the NFL and football in general is king, its ruler, its Czar.
