OblongBox - That is complete horseshit. The Yankees alone are worth more than UFC..
Well in the uk i know a good number of mma fans, and in my life have discussed mlb zero times.
I could see a being bigger outside of the us in terms of.popularity rather than value. 
Having trouble believing this at this current moment. MMA wont be bigger than some mainstream sports until many years down the line.
It says worldwide, not america. Nobody outside if the USA gives a fuck about baseball. I literally couldn't give the name of a single player. Its no surprise that MMA is bigger than baseball on a global scale.
john joe - NBA , MLB and NFL are basically irrelevant outside the US, nobody cares about them. Fighting does have more universal appeal
however, UFC is bigger then MLB overseas the way that its bigger in the US than English Premier League soccer, eg nobody in the US really cares about soccer either

Good thing this is about MMA as a whole. Not just UFC.
Huge MMA fan here and baseball is worldwide, how do you think Japan licks the US ass each year in world baseball classic or Cuba, Korea and the little league World Series got better ratings then any of the recent PPV. That said mma is a much better sport to watch..

You're a mental midget. Baseball is huge in SA and Asia.

Dont get butthurt dude, I meant that baseball isnt really an international sport. Im aware that Japan and Cuba like their baseball also but you really wouldn't say that baseball is a bigger sport internationally than MMA, in the same way you wouldn't say MMA is bigger than soccer internationally.

Was going to explain, I see someone else has. MMA having more global viewers than MLB is a surprise. Baseball is popular over much of the world.
Baseball is bigger in Japan than MMA ever was.
Rudi -And % would you give the market or even popularity share of global mma to the UFC? There's 30 teams in MLB, if just 1 is worth more than the most powerful and Influential org on earth, how do you think the rest fare compared to MLB?GayGuardMooseSaucy -OblongBox - That is complete horseshit.
