UFC and MMA have more of an appeal to casual fans

There are alternatives to fans’ need to see violence. When UFC became mainstream, much in the same way they needed the Attitude Era and Ruthless Aggression, everyone flocked to it. Dana White built a new empire, he was the exciting read and view.

Blood and bruising are a lot more appealing than soft matches and lack of violent nature. Besides all of that MMA and UFC are REAL! Fighters like Conor McGregor and Jon Jones are more appealing than Alberto Del Rio and Sheamus.
