Cool story bro, but popularity can be faked.
Ya, I worded that weird

I meant that MMA is objectively more popular amongst modern audiences than traditional eastern martial arts

I’m basing that on the fact that traditional eastern martial arts tournaments aren’t selling out entire stadiums and getting thousands of Pay Per View buys not just from individuals but from bars who charge cover that night to make $

But are there more casual non-professional participants of MMA than of other traditional martial arts? That I don’t know. The traditional martial arts are still useful as a workout method, I imagine that is their main draw now. Whereas before MMA became as mainstream, traditional martial arts were seen as more useful for self-defense

Keep writing in cool fonts bro you are so edgy and informed of the tRuTH!?!?!?

Can you provide any proof it did happen? Were you even there?

I mean, it's a scientific world right? So why should I have faith in you and believe you when we have science?

It seems very far fetched to me, and if it did happen they were kinda asking for it in a way.

But it didn't happen, if it did you would have proof. Where is it?

PS. I'm using the same edgy font as you, it's just bigger.

If it's on TV being hyped up like UFC is then it's trendy to watch it and trendy to be a martial artist, but it doesn't mean it's popular. How many people are there in the world and how many people can fit in a stadium? How many people watch it on TV? What are the viewing figures? Going by the viewing figures, all spectator sports are a minority past time but receive a disproportionate amount of coverage.

Trends come and go, they are here today and gone tomorrow.

The UFC, like all industries, have an achilles heel...they all rely on slavery to exist.

Once the slaves have an alternative option to working for $5 an hour just to make the Dana White's of the world rich, the industries will die....all of them. Pop stars would literally have to personally burn their own CD's instead of exploiting cheap labor.

You wouldn't see UFC ever gain because once the US$ becomes obsolete UFC becomes obsolete.

Are we now denying the holocaust? Really? Trolling surely.
In the hopes my faith in the humanity of my fellow man is not dashed against the rocks of stupidity, I choose trolling.
Good going there Gugg, you nearly had me.

I'm beginning to think that all the celebs are either androids or photorealistic cartoons. So Tyson Fury doesn't really exist and neither does Mike Tyson.

Those moon landings for example, I used to think it was filmed on a set or something but now I'm thinking it was filmed in a software application.

All the porn is fake too, they're not real people.

Video footage and photographs are not good evidence.

Yes, there is more than one show on at once. Many more in fact.

This is called "TV", you idiot.

Prove me wrong instead of using guilt trips and calling me a troll.

Now is your chance.

I'm all ears.
