Slide 2: Background

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was created in 1993 as a medium to display multiple forms of martial arts and classify the most effective fighting style in a real life fight.

Mainstream exposure damaged consumer perception of the product due to the violent and “no-rules” nature of the sport; and as exposure languished, so did profits. The company struggled to gain television exposure and found itself competing with professional wrestling, which is staged fighting, and traditional fighting programming such as boxing and martial arts tournaments.
However, by 2003, UFC came under new management who wanted to change the strategic course of the company.

Management saw the opportunity to rebrand itself from a sport to a sports entertainment organization categorized as “fighting”.

It installed a new set of rules - eliminating hair pulling, head butting, groin strikes

    Wrestling is tough, it is a sport much from its participants, but if one has the courage to step out on the mat dressed in a uniform that leaves a little imagination and challenge another human to a match to see who the better man is. Danger can be found in every sport, and wrestling are no more prone to injury’s to soccer, football, track stars, lacrosse. Wrestling creates a sense of accountable for one’s actions. Those that work hard, succeed. There is no one to hide behind; every flaw and mistake is brought forth in a match. It takes a great deal of mental toughness and sacrifice nights with friends for extra practice and consideration, favorite food to lose the extra pound, and sleep when one needs to wake up at 4am to go for a run before school begins. That competitive nature of clashing with another human being creates a sense of community within the wrestling world. Those that have never participated in the sport have a tough time understanding this. Opponents’ must shake hands before and after, showing respect for the other fighter, win or lose. It is uncommon to see administration in the form of an embrace even after one has lost a tough battle. These values are created through combative sports, and stay with a wrestle for the remainder of their…

    Millions of people worldwide take part as spectators to the sport of prize fighting: better known as boxing. In a 1962 essay entitled “Who Killed Benny Paret?” the author, Norman Cousins, writes about the dangers that come with the sport of boxing. He especially talks about a match that resulted in the death of a boxer named Benny Paret. Cousins argues that boxing is just a show of violence and that boxers put themselves in the ring just for the simple purpose of entertaining a crowd. Even though investigations reflect the role of the referee, Paret’s manager, and the doctor’s examinations as the main cause of Paret’s death, Cousins blames Paret’s death on the people that attends boxing matches to see a man get hurt or knockout because he agrees with Mike Jacobs.…

    Every sport has its own unique signature that separates it from the rest of the sports world. Baseball has the homerun, basketball has the slam-dunk, golf has the hole in one, and football has the touchdown. But, perhaps the sport with the most distinguished and unique signature is hockey and its fights. However, hockey officials and executives are trying to eliminate the games most distinctive aspect. Yet, because of the recent decline in the amount of fighting in the National Hockey League (NHL) and since a ban on fighting in the NHL could jeopardize the popularity of the sport, eliminating fighting from games may not be necessary. Over recent years, the amount of fighting in NHL games has been on the decline and the role of the one time "enforcer" has changed dramatically. Also, hockey fights bring in much needed revenue for professional teams in way of television, attendance, and concessions. The NHL deeply needs to look at what effect removing fighting would cause in the long term.…

    Another bit that I thought was interesting was the amount of change action figures went through in fifty years. Fifty years ago the G.I. Joe's and the wrestling dolls were kind of like bean poles, and then progressively through the years you see the biceps, chest, and abs getting bigger on the doll. So instead of looking soft in the earlier days, the doll's imagining is hardening up and looking tougher. This also ties into the wrestling that you now see on your television. If you put it back another fifty years ago just like the action figures, professional wrestlers used to be fat, flabby, and out of shape looking. Now push time forward and you see wrestlers being enormous, ripped, and looked like they eat steroids for candy. They look like modern day warriors, which buries an imagine into little kids minds and possibly might drive one to reenact that wrestlers moves upon another person cause injury or harm.…

    As similar as they may seem, boxing and MMA are two very different sports. I know what you’re thinking, “The object of the sport is to punch the other guy in the face, how different can they be?” The truth is, both sports involve punching the other guy in the face, the difference is the rules and equipment used to do so. I know it’s hard to imagine someone like Oscar De La Hoya and a man like Brock Lesnar having anything in common, but they do, and I am going to tell you how. I know it’s also hard to picture Boxing and MMA having any differences, but I will show you.…

    Despite the occasional decline in popularity, the WWE has established itself as a staple in the entertainment industry. Their brand and associated characters have become household names since being introduced as the WWF in 1982. The years since creation have not always been easy, having seen its share of new competitors in the wrestling industry, various legal disputes, and failed ventures into other territories. The brand found itself coming out of a five year slump that was a result of a lack of a superstar that could carry its reputation. Currently, the WWE is trying to recapture the energy that built them. Efforts to do so have come in the form of more live events, producing movies, subscription services to access past content. After thoroughly examining the case, we feel that WWE’s biggest advantage is how much weight and power the brand now has. This power affords the brand opportunities that competitors do not have access too. To “weather” the ever increasing fad of MMA, and still stay relevant, it would be in the WWE’s best interest to refrain from “converting” these MMA fans, and focus on their core “die hard” fanatics. We feel that WWE should put a major focus on showing appreciation for the fans that built the brand in the form of a new subscription service, better organized online content and networking, increased number of live events, and wider range of celebrities to be co-branded.…
