Let me give you some free advice. Your girl isn't into MMA. Your girl is into you, and you are into MMA. She doesn't want to watch that shit at all. No girl does. Trust me I've tried with dozens, even girls who trained themselves. You're only making it worse.
I found a winner. Sorry if your luck hasn't been as good as mine.
It's really easy to do, start an MMA betting account and tell her you are going to take her on a vacation with the winnings. Watch how suddenly into MMA she gets.
I'm up almost 80 units ($5/unit) since I started back in August. I should be up even more than that but I put $40 on Natty Goat to beat Cringeysanya and lost a few bets another week and then stupidly chased them and lost even more. Without the Natty Goat loss and my stupid chasing, I'd be up about $600 now.
It went from "Oh, its fighting again tonight? Guess I'll go watch Grays Anatomy." to "What time do the fights start and who are
WE betting on?" She's right into this shit now, and as promised, I will take her on vacation somewhere in the Caribbean once I get up $2500 or so. I plan on increasing my unit size to $10 once I hit $1000 profit, which should hopefully be late winter/ early spring. I know, I know, I'm not a high roller, but I bet what I can afford to lose and so fsr I'm up money, so I'm good with it. Maybe someday I'll be a millionaire and place Mayweather bets, but for now bankroll management rules supreme.
She actually watches the fights too, not sitting on Facebook or Instagram, and even predicted the Agapova loss. She told me to throw $5 on her opponent and I refused (Agapova -1600 favorite vs +800 Dobson) and lost out on $40 return, lol. It was the biggest loss, odds wise, in UFC history.
Somewhere, someone else was quite a bit sadder than we were. Imagine putting $25,000 on Agapova to win that "easy money" only to watch her lose.

Now, if she has a good feeling about a fight l'll toss few bucks on it to make it even more fun for her, usually the free bets I earn through the betting site I use.
It's all in how you frame it.
TLDR: Change your strategy and you can get your girl to like MMA almost as much as you do.
