Is Facebook Home to the Largest MMA Community?
Which is growing faster, MMA or Facebook? I think it’s safe to say Facebook is (reports say over 200,000 new sign ups every day), but mixed martial arts and the UFC’s presence on the hugely popular social networking site is growing like crazy.
I did a search for “UFC” and “MMA” on Facebook today and was surprised that between the two of them there were over 1,000 groups dedicated to the sport. While some of these groups only have a few hundred members, others have tens of thousands of members. I think Sherdog is in the hundreds of thousands in members, but don’t be surprised if Facebook eventually becomes home to the largest collective community of mixed martial arts fans.
The content kind of sucks, but it’s pretty easy to become a fan of these groups once you are a member of Facebook and really easy to upload your own photos and videos.
Join the Facebook page below and let all of your Facebook friends know you support the sport. (FYI, I have zero affiliation with the page below)

Someone from the UFC should go in there and actually make a good page on Facebook.

you didn’t even include all of the individual fighters who have fan pages. There are hundreds of those pages too. MMA is fuckn everywhere!
