A desperate £7m punt on a reality show, dramatic U-turn over female fighters, brilliant marketing and charismatic stars - how the UFC rose from obscurity to multi-BILLION pound sporting giant

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 8, 2024
At just over three decades old, the UFC is still a baby in sporting terms. But those three letters - once derided as 'human cockfighting' - are now synonymous with a global behemoth of a business worth billions. UFC 1 was a freak show involving a 30 stone sumo wrestler, and shark-filled moat - more on that extravaganza here. And now, MMA's market leader dominates the combat sports landscape with highly-trained professional athletes competing on an almost weekly basis. The UFC has more than 100 training facilities worldwide, has put on more than 500 live events and been televised in 175 countries.

Molly McCann, a UFC fighter, sends Anthony Joshua an alert when she predicts what his 'kryptonite' could be against Francis Ngannou

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 8, 2024
Anthony Joshua is expected to come unstuck against Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia on Friday night, according to Molly McCann, if the former UFC champion uses his strength against the British fighter. With the Cameroonian-French MMA fighter returning from battle after starting WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in October, the two are due to meet in a massive clash in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Ngannou is widely regarded as one of the world's most feared players, with UFC president Dana White once referring to one of his punches as 'being equal to being struck by a Ford Escort going at full throttle.'

To my people, please watch, please repost, please share! The events of the past few days have been shocking. Knife & gun crime has to stop. Have you seen the Knife Angel? It’s a statue made from over 100,000 seized knives. That’s right. Knives - over a 100,000 of them - and every one of them was used or was going to be used to stab someone. This is crazy. What have we done to our kids that has forced them onto this path of violence? Too many young people with no jobs, no prospects, no self respect and … guess what? For many of them, no one cares. They are the people that are most likely to join gangs, get into trouble, get into violent crime and make a career of it. They are the people most likely to be victims of violent crime. So are these kids the problem? No! They are the solution In Liverpool a few of us have got together and started Weapons Down Gloves Up. This is not another of those ‘raise awareness’ and ‘pat yourself on the back’ things. You know, get some youngsters in for a few weeks, tick some boxes and then after building up their hopes of a real future dump them back on the streets again. This is about giving young people a real chance to get off that path. We are talking role models, self-respect, community, training and yes, real jobs. We can’t abandon the kids - they deserve so much more than that. Come on, it's our job to give them a leg up so they have the chance of these opportunities. They are the solution If we work together and can save just one life from violent crime, it will be worth it! Visit: www.weaponsdownglovesup.co.uk
