Lets be honest MMA is legit and very exciting but the sport need to be globalized

[dragonsfly]

And ufortunately they can't do that as long the UFC is around and they need a new formula like FIFA and UEFA without the corruption of late.

They need to globalize this and I believe big time sponsors and companies will come in to cash on the viewership and TV-deals around the global which means that fighters won't fight for 10/10 no more.

Fighters could potentially be paid 8-10 mio + per-fight. It's time to evovle and it starts with the UFC selling to the Chinese capital media and I believe if they handle this the right way and make all other organizations join them to form the Ultimate International fighting association - UIFA. This is the road we need the sport to go tbh

Calm down ... we´ve allready have "fans" saying that PED´s should be allowed otherwise this sport is dead ... time takes time ... MMA is allready the biggest spreading sport in the World , without beeing mainstream and at this point , its the most globalized it has ever been.
If those in charge dont fuck up, this that is much more then a sport will forever become a standart for modern sports competition

It just sucks seeing guys do 4-month camps to KO or get KO'ed for only 10/10. It's disrespectful payment considering the risk that comes with the Job

UFC has the top talent so that's that. We'll need a promotion with lots of money to grab UFC's guys but that won't happen anytime soon. Once it happens you'll see ufc bumping up their fighter's pay to keep them.

It's business. The execs at ufc want the big bucks just like every other human does.

Right now it's the UFC game. As MMA spreads and more money is invested into it control will slip towards the fighters. Multiple legit promotions that can rival the UFC is needed.

Stop it please. Enough already with this exploitation nonsense. It's their choice to pursue that career. Nobody is locking them inside a cage against their free will. And furthermore Ufc pays way more than other orgs.
Bottom line: there are just a few fighters that people are actually paying to see perform. And they do get substantially rich.
Unfortunately there is no reason, in a free market, for all the others to get rich. They should most definitely get a better treatment in terms of medical assistance and stuff but please stop this third party whine-fest.

And how will that new organization make its money? FIFA profit mainly from broadcasting rights. Do you really think Zuffa will let someone have a piece of that pie?

They just got a major TV deal in Russia (bigger than M-1s) and just started doing shows in NYC: as well as first time in Japan, Poland and Croatia.

They are globally expanding. Just takes times. And they'll never as big as FIFA.

 

[MMAProfessional]

There needs to be the UFC and the UFC only. At least Bellator needs to go. It's like if there were 2 NBA's and Lebron leaves to make more money

It's already on its way to that, the UFC's last event was in Croatia FFS. Brazil, Japan, China, Abu Dhabi, Germany, Sweden, UK....UFC has been going all over the world and will continue to add countries in years to come.
