When your sport sees a player get concussed at least once a week, it may be time to shift some things around. The sport isn't built to function around corruption.
Fighting is fighting, and it starts and stops with that. The sport doesn't seem to encounter serious scandals, due in part to MMA's integrity wall being iron-clad. Fighters aren't throwing fights, owners aren't stealing video tapes of training camps, coaches aren't being caught seducing young children and Dana White isn't fixing a draft lottery anytime soon.
So far in its brief existence, American MMA has been as clean as a sport can be, minus failed testosterone tests. Now, while many people would say their efforts have been excessive, how can you badger the company for showcasing its product? With eight different weight classes offering numerous entertaining fighters, the UFC has been able to offer its fans worthwhile action all year long.
Most sports, maybe besides tennis and golf, can't say that. Their schedules are limited. And to think, the numbers I'm basing this on are just from the UFC.

When a fighter gets hit, falls to the ground and stops moving, anyone unfamiliar with the sport of MMA still knows enough to realize that fight is over and that it's called a knockout. The same can be said for many submission holds, people know the arm or leg shouldn't go a certain way and understand why a fighter taps out to most holds barring the more esoteric ones.
The point is people can watch the UFC and immediately understand it; a choke or a knockout is easier to understand than a punt or a defense. This fact is very important for the next point which is Because fighting is intrinsic to humans all over the world, it makes sense that the sport of fighting would be able to achieve popularity wherever it went.
Not only has it elevated MMA to become a well-respected, world-renowned sport, but UFC has also ensured it remains the most innovative. The fact it is a sport with few socioeconomic barriers and an appeal that transcends social, geographic and gender boundaries means it is too important to place into the hands of just one franchise, no matter how pivotal that franchise has been in its rise. As MMA attests: a fighter can be great, but is nothing without rivals.
