Not only that, but MMA (Mixed Martial Arts, for the uninformed) is more popular than ever. It's gone from being something largely underground to relatively mainstream. I'd say it's probably in the top five major sports in my area at least; Football, Basketball, Baseball, Soccer, MMA.
They have a bunch of different leagues; UFC isn't the only one out there. There's also IFL, SFC, PRIDE, Cage Rage and plenty of others.
MMA is huge in Japan and parts of Europe, too.
EDIT: "parts of Europe" includes the UK. I believe that's where Cage Rage is based out of.
