Because nobody actually watches MMA for fighting ability. Anyone who's actually into fighting ability watches animal planet. People watch MMA for drama and popcorn. A level popcorn only happens a few times a year if that, for the rest of the year you spam your platform with C/D level popcorn. Chimps have G level popcorn that make James Vick look like a superstar.
G level popcorn? That chimp that tore off his owner's face had more global high level media coverage than any MMA fighter in history, including Canner and Ronda. We get a few chimps with whatever the chimp equivalent of the gift of the gab is from countries with English speaking populations who traditionally like sport, and we've got fighters who can vastly outsell the best humans the UFC has to offer now.
