In today’s decorated combat sports world, the UFC has emerged as a fan favorite across all boundaries. The biggest MMA promotion has put on some of the most iconic fights that have hooked in millions of fans. The UFC has not only accrued its fan base from MMA, but there are many boxers like Mikaela Mayer who enjoy its fights and look up to this fight promotion.

Mayer, a household name in women’s boxing, recently had some words of wisdom for the UFC.

In her recent interview with The Schmo, she said, “That’s the difference between boxing and MMA. And I think q lot of MMA fans don’t really acknowledge that but. Or they don’t understand like why aren’t these big fights happening. It’s a huge, it’s a huge reason why the UFC is so popular right now.”

“If you’re like any top fighter and you call out a fighter and you say let’s make this happen, Dana White’s going to step in and say, Okay, there’s fans behind this, there’s excitement behind this, let’s make that happen.”

Furthermore, she even admitted that making fights isn’t easy in boxing, as there are different promoters and networks involved in any negotiation.

On the other hand, UFC caters to fans’ needs and they always come up with the best possible fights. This, in return, has worked wonders for Dana White and the promotion.

Is Mikaela Mayer correct with her point of view?

The undefeated boxer seemed blunt with her opinion, and she didn’t fail to point out the present-day drawbacks in the sport of boxing.

Promoters and networks need to work in favor of making the ‘Sweet Science’ one of the biggest sports on the planet. And that’ll only happen once they garner the fans’ attention by giving out the best fights possible.

That said, it’ll be intriguing to see if Mayer’s statements prove to bring a positive change in the sport. What do you draw off Mayer’s comments?
