I have heard a lot of talk on here recently that MMA/UFC dying in popularity. Maybe that's true, I don't know. But what evidence (it doesn't even need to be great evidence) do you have supporting or against that contention. I'll try to update the thread as we continue with evidence for and against that contention.
For the contention that the popularity of MMA is dying:
-GSP and Hendriks didn't hit 700K PPV buys
-The collapse of MMA in Japan
-UFC attendance has been flat for past several years, if not down.
-The general sense of posters that they have less (not forum) people to talk about the sport with.
-Wearing MMA style clothing no longer fashionable. (I wish it never was!)
-TUF's ratings are in the toilet.
Against the contention that the popularity of MMA is dying:
-It appears be becoming more popular internationally
