Mixed Martial Arts, The FASTEST Growing Sport
In The World, Is Outperforming The Economy
IN THE MEDIA:
FORBES: Ultimate Cash Machines
It's the Ultimate Money Machine. That night before the Super Bowl 10,700 fans packed the arena, paying an average of $340 for a ticket to witness
nine mixed martial arts contests......
Sports Illustrated:
Saturday night was all right for fighting. But the pageantry for the 69th card in the Ultimate Fighting Championship's tough-and-rumble existence
began much earlier that week. Long before the fighters unhinged the latch of the steel Octagon on April 7 and fought on a card titled UFC 69: Shootout,
thousands of fans had converged on Houston, tribalists on a pilgrimage. May 22, 2007
USA Today: UFC's milestone event shows how far sport has come
NEW YORK — Marc Ratner vividly remembers driving up to the Mandalay Bay Events Center on the Las Vegas Strip. It was late September 2001,
and the longtime head of the Nevada State Athletic Commission couldn't believe what was unfolding.
Thousands of people had lined up more than an hour before the doors opened for UFC 33, the first mixed martial arts event ever sanctioned in his
state. July 10, 2009
New York Times: Companies Warm to Sponsoring Mixed Martial Arts
At the end of a mixed martial arts bout, the fighters stand in the center of the cage, often donning a T-shirt given to them by their sponsors, as they
await the referee’s official decision. But when the referee raised Rashad Evans’s hand after a victory last September, Mr. Evans was not wearing a
shirt bearing the logo of one of the sport’s niche apparel brands like Sprawl or Tapout. Instead, on his shirt appeared a mug shot of Bill Gates, taken
after the future billionaire was arrested for a traffic violation in 1977. January 20, 2009
