its not fake like wrestling. it is legitimate as boxing results.

Answer 1

I don't know what RX6 is saying I live in Toronto and we never get it unless it is a blurb hidden in the sports section. MAybe in Quebec or Alberta where MMA is legal and they have organizations. I'm sure in Vegas and California they have articles often. I have seen in the LA times online and other papers online.
Go to ufc,com and click on the news articles most are from news reports in papers and magazines.
As already mentioned lit isn't as mainstream as we think. Sports like Rugby other marial arts or extreme sports like the X-Games aren't concidered what the general public want to read about. Keep in mind the majority of people who buy papers are over 40 and generally look at news articles, clasifieds or the busness section. And as we all no the media likes to decide what we get to read or watch.

Answer 2

A thread from a forum for sports journalists.

It's starts being about the recent piece "60 Minutes" did on MMA and then becomes about the press coverage of MMA.
