People are sleeping on the popularity of MMA. It's the fastest growing sport in the world and it's social media presence is huge. The UFC did a show in Australia a few years ago and had 60,000 people attend. The fact the BBC are mentioning the sport more often will only help it's profile over here.
Snooker meanwhile has always been a massive sport in the UK. Big ratings in the mid eighties and the World Championship is always given prime time BBC coverage.
