  • Undefeated Olympians Collide As Champion Ronda Rousey Meets Sara Mcmann at Ufc® 170 Saturday, February 22
    UNDEFEATED OLYMPIANS COLLIDE AS CHAMPION RONDA ROUSEY MEETS SARA MCMANN AT UFC® 170 SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22 Las Vegas, Nevada – In what could prove to be her toughest challenge yet, UFC® women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey (8-0, fighting out of Venice, Calif.) squares off against undefeated wrestling sensation Sara McMann (7-0, fighting out of Gaffney, SC) in a battle of Olympic medalists at UFC® 170 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center Saturday, Feb. 22. A bronze medal winner in Judo at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Rousey recently defeated her bitter rival Miesha Tate at UFC 168 to retain the women’s bantamweight belt and remain the divison’s only champion. Now she takes on McMann, who comes in as the most decorated wrestler in the weight class, having also earned Olympic silver at the 2004 games in Athens in free- style wrestling. In addition to the Rousey-McMann tilt, (No. 3) Rashad Evans (19-3, fighting out of Boca Raton, Fla.), a former light heavyweight champion, battles the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix winner Daniel Cormier (13-0, fighting out of San Jose, Calif.) in his debut at the 205-pound weight class. Evans comes into the bout sporting consecutive wins over Dan Henderson and Chael Sonnen while Cormier is looking to keep his unblemished professional record and make a statement in his new division. The card also features Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace (No. 6) Demian Maia (18-5, fighting out of Sao Paulo, Brazil) matching up against Canadian prodigy and Georges-St. Pierre training partner (no. 4) Rory MacDonald (15-2, fighting out of Montreal, Canada) in a battle of Top 10-ranked welterweights.

In this context, some athletes can use illicit substances in order to improve their performance. By means of paired analysis, the present study compared the motor actions of athletes who had failed an anti-doping test versus their performance in combat against a winner or loser without doping presence. For this, 267 rounds (male and female) were analyzed in professional matches. The rounds were paired by athletes in the conditions: doping, winning and losing. Motor actions were analyzed through a specific and previously-validated protocol. Of the substances detected, anabolic androgenic steroids represented 55% (p≤0.001). Doped athletes had lower pause time (83.4±68.3 vs. 131.7±95.2, p≤0.001) and longer time at high-intensity (85.2±86.6 vs. 51.2±73.3, p=0.002) compared to the losing condition. Regarding the technical-tactical analysis in standing combat, winning presented a higher mean compared to doping in all variables except for Knockdowns (p=0.08), single body strikes landed (p=0.15), single leg strikes landed (p=0.25) and single strike attempts (p=0.4).

  • Demand for the Ultimate Fighting Championship: an Econometric
    Journal of Business and Economics, ISSN 2155-7950, USA June 2015, Volume 6, No. 6, pp. 1032-1056 DOI: 10.15341/jbe(2155-7950)/06.06.2015/002 © Academic Star Publishing Company, 2015 http://www.academicstar.us Demand for the Ultimate Fighting Championship: An Econometric Analysis of PPV Buy Rates Richard A. McGowan1, John F. Mahon2 (1. Boston College, MA 02467, USA; 2.University of Maine, ME 04469-5723, USA) Abstract: This study provides a framework by which the UFC can analyze the determinants of its PPV buy rates, a form of direct demand for the UFC. Accurately deriving demand is incredibly important in the UFC’s goal to maximize revenue and further grow the sport and equally as important for promoters, TV and cable networks. Given that the endogenous growth of the UFC has slowed greatly, specific event characteristics have emerged as the primary factors that govern the buy rate. Using a combination of empirical regression analysis and industry expertise, the UFC and promoters and others can more accurately estimate the buy rates of upcoming events. Key words: gaming; sports; econometric analysis JEL codes: C1, M1 In the past fifteen years, the sport of mixed martial arts has grown from no-rules, bareknuckle “human cockfighting” into a highly professional and incredibly popular mainstream sport with millions of fans around the world. Since purchasing its biggest rival in 2007, the Las Vegas-based Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has been undisputedly the largest, best quality and most popular MMA promotion in the world. In 2008, Forbes wrote an article calling it the “Ultimate Cash Machine”, valuing it at $1 billion (Miller Matthew, 2008).

    Innovative Marketing, Volume 13, Issue 4, 2017 Thomas R. Robbins (USA), James E. Zemanek, Jr. (USA) UFC pay-per-view buys and the value of the celebrity fighter Abstract In 2016, the Ultimate Fighting Championship was sold for a reported price of $4 billion, the highest price ever paid for a sports franchise. This was a remarkable turn-around for a promotion that 15 years earlier was saved from bankruptcy by a $2 million buyout. This turnaround was driven by the UFC’s ability to mainstream the promotion and the sport while establishing reliable revenue streams through television contracts and massive pay-per-view events. In this paper, the authors review the pay-per-view record of the UFC and analyze the extent to which it is driven by high profile celebrity fighters with broad crossover appeal. Using statistical analysis, the authors identify the top crossover celebrities and assess the economic value they generate for the UFC. They compare this to the impact generated from the promotion’s highest ranked pound-for-pound fighter and find that celebrity has far more economic value than fighting skill. Keywords: pay-per-view buys, pound-for-pound fighter, sports franchise, crossover celebrities. JEL Classification: M30, M31. Received on: 16th of November, 2017. Accepted on: 16th of December, 2017.

  • Fallon Fox: a Queer Body in the Octagon
    Fallon Fox: A Queer Body in the Octagon Carla Lisboa Grespan* Vilodre Silvana Goellner** Abstract: Based on gender studies and Queer Theory, this paper analyzes Fallon Fox’s place as a professional athlete in Mixed Martial Arts, more specifically, Fox’ fight against Allanna Jones at the semifinals of the Championship Fighting Alliance. It examines 510 comments posted on three specific cultural media related to fighting sports, seeking to understand their users’ discourses about participation of a transgender athlete. By analyzing empirical data, we found that the arguments pointing out the improper nature of the dispute were based on two perspectives: the use of legal and medical discourses to prove Fallon Fox’s advantage over the opponent and transphobia, understood as aversion or repulsion towards “trans” people. Keywords: Mixed Martial Arts. Transgender. Athletes. 1 INTRODUCTION Seen as a sport characterized by the use of techniques derived from several martial arts and fighting sports, MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) has gained a special place in the cultural universe of fights, especially after it was widely publicized in sports media, largely by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the world’s largest MMA organization.1 Websites, blogs, specialized magazines, television programs, dedicated channels and other media are *Postgraduate program in Human Movement Sciences.

    REACTING TO A POTENTIAL RIVAL’S SUBSTANTIAL PRICE DECREASE: THE CASE OF THE ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP A THESIS Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Economics and Business The Colorado College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts By Brendan Michael Quinn May 2014 REACTING TO A POTENTIAL RIVAL’S SUBSTANTIAL PRICE DECREASE: THE CASE OF THE ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP Brendan Michael Quinn May 2014 Economics Abstract This thesis measures the degree of substitutability in consumption between televised mixed martial arts competition presented by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and professional wrestling presented by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in order to estimate the potential impact on UFC’s revenues after WWE’s announcement of a change in its pay-per-view model that dramatically decreases prices. Using a variety of control variables, the seemingly unrelated regression model finds significant substitutability in consumption between the products offered by each company as well as decreasing revenues for UFC as time goes on. This thesis then analyzes WWE’s decision to offer a far less expensive digital subscription service and UFC’s decision to continue using the traditional pay-per-view model.
