Kangaroo,

We have to approve the first post from every new user e-mail. Obviously we’re not erasing posts in the comments section – if that were the case, why would we even bother having one in the first place? (Although I will admit to erasing a sum total of four posts from one piece, simply because they were discriminatory in nature; something we have zero tolerance for).

As to your concern: the UFC currently holds an 85-90% market share from our estimates (that is it earns 85-90% of the MMA industry revenues accounted for by promotions). I think that if you follow the site on a daily basis you’ll see that we also do our best to cover Strikeforce, WEC, Dream, Sengoku, and others when we can – or when they make relevant headlines.

But, seriously, what do you expect? This is a business website – and as business goes there often isn’t a lot to discuss other than UFC news. Moreover, the UFC being the industry leader, it’s often what people what to hear most.

“…give them what they want.”

And, if it’s not what they want? They’re free not to read it.

you should change the title of the website into UFC payout…why dont you feature other mma promotions in this website…is the ufc the only profitable mma organization? so mma is like the WWE? one org making money and the others arent.

Thanks Kelsey,
Always great to see these stats. Another banner year for the UFC. Year over year it appears they add an additional PPV event. Here’s looking forward to 2010 and another successful year for the UFC and the growth of MMA.

Any chance we can get to see gate/revenue comparisons for these events year over year?

You should do one for UFC’s ratings year over year.
