Hilarious people keep repeating this myth that nobody is watching MMA because they personally don’t watch as much as they used to.

MMA Ranks Highly on Nielsen Report

The sport’s history is well told, from the humble beginnings in the mid-’90s to being taken off of cable before surging into the mainstream in the mid-’00s. However, the sport continues to move upward as it becomes one of the world’s most popular sports.

The Neilsen report brings data to the table that puts mixed martial arts near the top of the heap.

Two organizations landed inside the top 10 for Neilsen’s digital footprint rankings. The UFC checked in at #5, and ONE Championship ranked #7. Bellator also came inside the top 20 by ranking #16 on the list.

The ranking among the world’s most prominent sports properties also shows the sport’s growth during the January 2019 – March 2021 timeframe. ONE posted the #1 overall growth during the period with a 113% increase. Bellator and the UFC were not far behind, being ranked #3 and #5, respectively.

To be the #1 overall ranked in any of the Neilsen rankings is a massive achievement for ONE and the sport as a whole.

In total video views, the UFC and ONE rank inside the top five at #3 and #4. In Neilsen’s cumulative reach category, through 18 metered markets, ONE is #3 overall, with the UFC checking in at #6.

The engagement and growth are even more impressive when no mixed martial arts organization ranks inside the top five in total broadcast hours. That fact highlights the growth and engagement from the diverse and global fan base via online platforms and social media.

Great ideas. Would watch. I’m nostalgic about the 80s rasslin, and the dark side series was good.

The Smashing Machine

How the sport encourages brain trauma to a knocked out opponent. The only scenario in civilized society where that’s not considered assault with the intent to kill.

Keep smashing that dome when he’s knocked out cold, deliver a Henderson punch, do what alistair did to Struve. It’s so commonplace yet so bad.
