MMA is a widely loved sport by many fans across the world. MMA promotions are helping the sport get widely advertised and the fighters get the respect they deserve as this sport is one of the oldest in history. Also, with many kinds of fighting styles comprised in a single sport it makes it widely creative and a very incredible sport.

 An estimated 1.5 million people watch the fights throughout the world, either in the designated venues, via web streaming, or through their certified cable TV channels. MMA promoters and organisations have existed since the 1900s to maintain and publicize the sport. They serve as fighters’ sponsors, play a significant role in their success, groom young talent, and turn prospective stars into legendary figures.

Depending on location and financial worth, these promotions also arrange exhibitions on a weekly or quarterly basis.

So, in this article, we look at the top 3 MMA promotions.

3. ONE Championship

It was founded on 14 July 2011 by Chatri Sityodtong and former ESPN Star Sports senior executive Victor Cui. The ONE Championship is a Singaporean MMA promotion company and the most well-known in Asia.

When it comes to fights fans all around the world get their dose on a daily basis. The UFC typically has a couple of programmes every month, Bellator holds one show per week throughout their season, and Invicta introduces fans to the sport’s female side.

For serious fans and people seeking a continual quench to their MMA hunger. The One FC is for you which is operating in the Asia Pacific.

One FC offers it all: violent knockouts, spectacular submissions, and simply fascinating fights. In addition to high-profile players such as Shinya Aoki and Bibiano Fernandes, One FC has served as a secure base and staging camp for some of the Pacific’s best fighters. With UFC pay-per-views hovering around the $50 mark, wouldn’t it be fantastic to receive a high-quality pay-per-view streaming live for a price more accessible to the ordinary Joe?

One FC’s pay-per-view will be available this weekend for $9.99 via their website.

2. Bellator MMA

Bellator is a relatively fresh addition to the MMA landscape. The 14-year-old company operates in the silhouette of the UFC but has swiftly grown into a significant and recognised MMA promotion their own way. Bellator has grown to be the second-largest mixed martial arts league in the United States. In its relatively short history, and with Strikeforce founder and former martial artist Scott Coker at the helm since replacing Rebney as CEO in 2014, it appears that the promotion will only remain on its accelerating progression.

Bellator also holds tournaments in “seasons,” which run three months and include eight competitors in each weight class. This arrangement is quite different from the UFC, but it does offer athletes a different career path and a fresh branding approach for viewers.

With the tournament format, Bellator fans and athletes are given the understanding that championship opportunities are purely determined by each fighter’s performance. The tournament winner is the only one who has the right to contest against the champion.

1. UFC

The UFC was founded in 1993, but it was nothing till Dana White took over as the president in 2001 that the fighting promotion gained popularity. Boxing used to be the most popular combat sport, but now the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) rules the roost over every fighting game.
