I'm not sure about that, I think the reason the UFC is growing like this is because it is not one dimensional like boxing and is not full of as much controversy and dirty judges.

[@jimbeam9504]

I agree somewhat but also believe that BKFC is it's own thing. I believe it bridges the gap between UFC and Boxing. It has the technicality of Boxing and the Brutality of UFC. It has it's own lane and I like that. I've been ttrying to get boxing fans and UFC fans that I know into bkfc and they react to it completely different.

@PhilSophia-ox7ep BKFC has more eye balls than all of them. It's new pal, they way ahead of the others at this stage. Bellator went bump. Merged with PFL it was so bad. PFL viewership is awful.

[@stevesilverman3213]

@@DjDugiUK One FC is huge all across Asia. MASSIVE. You are uninformed and sound like a fanboy/hater wrapped in one. Why not appreciate all combat sports platforms for bringing the entertainment? UFC paved the way and their wake is insurmountable at the moment. PFL and Bellator need each other to survive, but they have some insanely talented fighters. If you wanted to watch good fights to fill the void they are a decent option. One FC has a unique platform no other promotion has, and their roster has some of the most talented fighters in all combat sports. BKFC is exciting and they've carved out their own little piece. They lack depth and talent, but the raw entertainment is there. But the fact is they need more attention and investors to push this further. They need a McGregor, and I hope they do well. The more promotions the better for us fans. Stop hating

[@truthseea5473]

Conner is going to blow this up , it’s growing so fast as it is , there is going to be guys really seeing the success Perry has had and will be willing to embrace and emulate his successes especially now Conner is involved, really smart business by bkfc , this is the next big thing in combat sports .
