speculative fiction, describe the alternative history of MMA if TUF1 never happened

[McGangsta]

And it was close to not happening, Dana wasn't sold on it. Let's say TUF1 doesn't happen or if it does happen but you don't get the right mix of personalities and fighters like you did with TUF season 1, no Chuck Randy no Forrest/Bonnar slug match etc

What's MMA like this past decade? Does it eventually take off or we still in the dark ages

 

[Sonny Qc]

still think would have become popular.
would have probably take another 5 good yrs.
That fight (griff vs bonn) put this sport on the fast track.

 

[HUGHPHUG]

IFC would have taken over with Global Domination

 

[MurrDawg]

It probably is non existent or considered an extreme sport. No TUF1 and we probably aren't on these message boards.

Donald Trump would've bought it and we'd be on top

Cam Newton HW champ
