Love it or hate it the UFC's marketing machine and TUF are some of the biggest reasons that MMA has boomed the way it has.

And their visibility gives them far more lucrative sponsorship offers.

for sure they do, thats why I put "expenses"

but that Harley Davidson logo in the middle of the cage was probably a good start, they've had 6 seasons of TUF and have to talk Spike into giving them an extra extra hour for UFN's, EVERYONE wants to be affiliated with the UFC, they're expenses are nothing compared to their profits


and I love the UFC's marketing machine, I want MMA to be on as much as
Simpson's or Seinfeld, I just don't agree with the level of pay a lot of guys get, they're supposed to be in the "big leagues" you should be getting a decent cut while you're there


(i didn't mean to type this much.....if anyone disputes the above, You Win, i am done)
