for those who watched this episode i got a question for you. what do you think about Danas prediction of MMA being the biggest sport in the world (even beating out soccer) within 8 years? i think it’ll be more like another 10 years minimum, it wont be till my kids (who grew up on MMA) are grown up and there generation is in control of the world. its a lot easier to get MMA legalized in my province if one of my childrens peers who also grew up on MMA is sitting on parliament and gets to sign the bill.

nah i dont see it surpassing soccer anytime soon possibly never, atleast not in the big soccer countries. You think MMA will ever will ever top soccer in someplace like Italy? lol no man.. never in a million years.

Even somewhere like brazil where mma was big before it became popular around here, they still love their soccer, to a ridiculous degree. Like killing each other over soccer games.

Those violent fanatics sicken me, the teams always have respect for their opponents, but the fans have ZERO respect for anything. If your team loses, show some class and give respect to the winning team for a good match.

ever heard of sportsmanship?? for fcks sakes..

ya im against fighting in hockey also, its a disgrace to the game.

yeah man i know what your saying, i work with ALOT of different ethnic groups (Vietnamese, Cambodian, Brazilian, Spanish, ect.) and for the most part none of them know what MMA is until you say UFC and even then they have only heard of it but not seen it, but they all watch the world cup. now most of these people have kids that are young enough to be exposed to MMA on TV and becomes fans down the road and they will grow up without have to search out MMA instead it will be right there for them to see and it will make it much easier to view. the NFL is big and strong because everyone know that if you flip through the channels on a monday night you can find a game and it make it very easy to become a fan if you enjoy it at all and some day MMA will need to get to that level where you can see a fight once a week and everyone can fallow the careers of there favorite fighters without have to spend $50 every time they wanna see them fight.
