Globally, UFC is already bigger than NFL & MLB. Many people from all over other continents outside America stay at night or wake up very early or stucked in front of their TV Sunday to watch UFC. They don't even watch/follow American football or baseball.

I love how people are sleeping on One Championship.

Not sure about Bellator, but if One manages to appeal to casuals, then I can see it giving UFC some problems. One is pretty big is Asia, and I like how they have many things going on (BJJ, MMA, mixed rule set) and it's appealing to many fans of the sport. They just don't have big names yet and they can also do better when it comes to promoting fights and fighters.

I watch many UFC events, but I started enjoying ONE Championship a bit more over the past couple of years.

[WalterWhiteTagalog]

I watch UFC every sunday around 11am here in the Philippines with hangover, and then drink some beer while watching the fight knowing I have to go work on monday. That is UFC 😅

UFC is already bigger than the NFL & MLB. I don’t wake up at 2am on a Sunday morning to sit in front of the TV to watch the NFL/MLB little guys play hours before the main match, I do that for the UFC, every fight weekend, all the way in South Africa. There is levels to this shit.

Dana already bought a Scott Coker promotion, Strikeforce. Also Dana realizes he needs the competition so he can pay fighters as independent contractors instead of employees. Scott personality is perfect to attract the fighters he wants. Those that Dana no longer wants but have name recognition already. UFC is shrinking their roster so those fighters need places to go.

[samuelgardner]

Personality is part of it, but Dana also understands the sport at a granular level. He knows it better than anyone on the planet. Dana is personality plus competence. Having just a brash personality isn't enough.

UFC is underrated as hell compared to some sports

[wilhelmhesse]

Scott Coker does his thing in his own way and no good hating on him at all. Each person brings something to the table Scott has his own way of doing things and Bellator haven't done so bad, they still pay their fighters don't they? Give props were they are due, Scott and Bellator are not be as big as Dana and the UFC but they have provided jobs and opportunity for fighters like Chandler to move onto bigger and better things like the UFC. Scott has a heart of gold no taking that away from him and he will always be remembered as the man that brought us Strikeforce, a top class MMA promo that brought in 4 UFC champions and several top contenders. Chandler of all people and you Patrick should not belittle the many achievements of Scott Coker.

So thankful chandler made the move to the ufc, one of the best signings they’ve ever made

[meaty]

Simple. UFC is universally recognized as the "Big Show" aka A-League. Bellator is B-League. There are great fighters in Bellator but they can't call themselves the best until they get to the UFC and beat their champions.

[Pimpjit]

It's not just Dana's brashness that gets eyes on the sport. The ufc is by far the absolute best at promoting. Marketing geniuses. I know Conor mcgregor is a superstar, but let's be real, where would he be on nthe Bellator roster? The ufc are marketing monsters and they've made superstars out of many fighters. Dana and his team know exactly what fight fans want, and they deliver. Let's see some brash guy buy belator and replicate that.

[johnromanoski]

I think a big part of the appeal outside of just awesome fights is personality of fighters. Nfl guys fined for everything, mlb players have shit marketing and can’t even market themselves. Ufc guys are cursing, drinking beer out of shoes, etc. These guys are just guys being themselves. It’s very refreshing to see people be themselves.

that suit is slick, it bounces light back to the camera that makes it look like scanner darkly

[anthonycarreira]

Coker has the respect of all fighters and doesn’t disrespect them ever. Dana shits on fighters a lot

[DJ]

ONE championship actually does more views across social media, but make astronomically less money.

[katchbulletriveradventures]

From Chandlers point
Bellator I looked hell good
UFC I look just ok

[VladimirMiyazaki]

If Conor McGregor joins Bellator then Bellator will become huge

[ndumisondlovu]

Eric Bischoff.


Particularly in his prime could grow bellator
