I think MMA is doing well. Especially with all of these promotions out there. Plus you have BJJ tournaments and Metamoris that helps the industry. What would be some ways that you would improve MMA? Also, it's cool that more promotions are forming in Korea and Japan.
Seems every second teenager knows who the UFC champion and know the phone number of their local MMA gym - that answer's your question in my country. With a local show ratio of 5 MMA / Muay Thai to 1 boxing in our state the punters and sponsors seem convinced. MMA has conquered the emerging generation and entered their vernacular.
On the contrary,MMA is cooling off.PPV buys are way down(over 30% according to Bleacher) and recently the UFC 178 has been cancelled in Toronto due to lack of sales and moved back to Vegas.Even the tattooed skin heads are losing interest.
you have no idea what that word means. Just ask yourself why all your mma threads made in the BOXING section get moved.
