I realize I’m going to piss many people off by saying this and I don’t mean to dump on anyone’s thing, but I don’t get the UFC’s popularity, I just don’t. I don’t get how I can sit in a Buffalo Wild Wings on a Sunday afternoon and watch a UFC match on 80% of the TVs when many interleague MLB games, the U.S. Open and College World Series are on.
Now don’t get me wrong – these fighters are awfully talented to learn many forms of MMA and have to execute moves in an octagon while another guy is trying to destroy you. However, no matter how many people try convincing me baseball and golf are boring or that the NBA isn’t the same game anymore, I’ll always take any of those over the UFC. Maybe it was the particular match I was watching, but it just looks like an uncoordinated after school fight to me (but on a bigger scale of course).
Is this just a fad or will it only get more popular? I’d still take boxing over UFC, but am I in the minority on that? Please, someone tell me what the draw is, because maybe I’m missing something.
