The Ultimate Fighting Championship has risen higher than any combat sports promotion. The mixed martial art forms have continued to attract various athletes from many backgrounds. While every other combat sport focused on a particular style, the UFC promoted a form where fighters are free to choose whatever fighting style they want. Without a doubt, this became a central hub for combat sports athletes who wished to rise up higher. Furthermore, the UFC has become more entertaining. Recently, Mike Tyson, the legendary boxer, compared boxing with UFC and claimed that UFC was far more advanced. 

Without a doubt, MMA athletes are always put in danger while inside the Octagon. However, the safety and healthcare measures taken up by the UFC president, Dana White, are indeed commendable. 

Mike Tyson lifts UFC higher than boxing

‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ is a legend in the world of combat sports. With his superior boxing skills, he has mesmerized every single soul spectating his fights and demonstrations. However, when it comes to organizations and promotions, ‘Iron Mike’ preferred the UFC instead of boxing.

In his talk show, ‘Hot Boxin’ With Mike Tyson’, the legendary boxer and ‘The Undertaker‘ claimed that boxing wasn’t as impressive as UFC events. He focused on the intermissions and revealed that while intermissions in boxing were boring, those in the UFC were much more entertaining. 

DIVE DEEPER

Tyson said, “It’s entertainment. You see, boxing is not entertainment that should have a fighter type of thing. But like, after that one fight is over and it’s intermission, nothing’s happening. People are talking to each other. UFC, when they have an intermission, it’s a party. There’s some people just go for the party, talk, do business… That’s why UFC is more advanced than boxing. Boxers get paid more money, but the entity of the UFC… billion.”

UFC provides fighters with health insurance

The 53-year-old UFC president has made some key decisions that ensured the continuous rise of the MMA promotion. White announced that the athletes would receive free health insurance, thereby stepping out to ensure the fighters’ safety.

White said, “We’re the first guys ever to have health insurance… for the Fighters.” UFC was the first promotion that opened a performance institute for fighters, where they could get physical therapy and nutrition completely free of cost. Undeniably, the organization has become advanced when compared to its counterparts.
