		<description>Its a shame people dont quite understand the sport yet, slowly all the MMA fans are educating people that dont quite understand the complexities.

I guess this is why it is the fastest growing of all sports at the moment</description>

		<description>Good news, glad to see more people paying attention to the UFC. Now if only they would put ALL fighters who have fought in the UFC in the fighters pages. A ton of fighters are missing, just because Dana doesn't like them.</description>

		<description>I really like this blog, I started a forum, which has a ton of 

information on MMA, the url is http://www.ultimatefightingforumz.com 

. I am not sure you guy have videos yet on this blog for MMA, but I 

would love to help out and provide some for you. My webmaster 

compiled a bunch of video feeds from youtube and other sources, that 

would benefit this blog as well, if you are interested. Thanks again 

and have a great day!</description>

		<description>If you consider how much older every other sport MMA is being compared to, MMA is making a huge impact. Also it should be noted that UFC is just one company promoting mixed martial arts, perhaps MMA would have been a better measuring stick.</description>

		<description>Jim,

UFC.com launched in early 2006, replacing UFC.tv.    

Not sure exactly how long UFC.tv was around for, but I'm pretty sure it's several years.</description>

		<description>UFC has captivated a neglected consumer group (13-25). Wrestling has run it's course, and lost touch with a young audience. So, of course, UFC is going to surge ahead. No one else believes that these 12 years matter, but UFC knows better -- all the way to the bisnak.</description>

		<description>G-Dog, like boxing, top-level MMA isn't under one single organization either.  Besides the UFC, there's PRIDE (albeit now owned by Zuffa), the IFL, WEC, Bodogfight, and a host of smaller regional organizations.  

So your analogy to boxing fails.  The UFC is one of the top MMA organizations, similar to the (choose one) WBA/WBO/IBF.  And I doubt any of those websites are drawing 5% of the traffic the UFC.com is drawing. 

MMA is being recognized for what it is, a sport with elite athletes, great competition, and exciting fights.  I can't remember the last time I've been excited about a boxing match, but I haven't missed a UFC since 2001.</description>
