Mixed martial arts continues its growth, as Strikeforce announced 70 hours of its programming is headed to Europe, Australia and Latin America.
In addition to this, Virgin Media Television's Bravo in the UK, Turner in Latin America, FX in Portugal, Ukraine's Megasport, Seven Network Australia and Dahlia TV in Italy have all purchased Strikeforce's library of TV programming.
Shine International expanded the Strikeforce brand internationally, selling the 70 hours. Chris Grant, the president of Shine International, said MMA will soon reach No. 1 status.
"Strikeforce has the world's best fighters, the world's best events and they know how to translate that into fast-paced programming that captures what will soon be the most popular sport in the world," said Grant.
Right now, the NFL is scoring huge numbers, but they’ve been around a few years. Give MMA the same amount of time, and Grant may just be right
