What is the critical aspect of combat sports? It's one that so many promotions miss, one that's hard to execute, and the most crucial for the enjoyment of the fans in the arenas and at home. If you stuck around for the press conference of UFC 300, Dana White's last question sheds light on what he sees as the most important part of his job. Production. He spoke about the crucial role of production in combat sports events. He emphasized that the fights, the entire show, and the fan experience make an event. It is the precise execution of production. Dana said, "I care about the production, the live production in-house, and the television production... it looked incredible on TV." And he was right. On top of scouting young talents, he ensures the fights are well-placed, showing his dedication to the overall quality and appeal of the events. What do you think makes combat sports captivating? Is it the high-octane fights, the athletes, the production values, or the atmosphere?

I listened to this amazing conversation about sports fandom! Here are some of my key takeaways: 1. Barriers to entry for emerging sports: Adult sports fandom is driven by youth participation, so for sports like sailing and lacrosse, which have limited accessibility, how can the leagues spark that fandom in new fans?    2. Find the gaps: While F1’s Drive to Survive success has created a new landscape for sports awareness and brand growth, not every sport has that same opportunity yet so emerging sports must find their own opportunities. 3. Sports is entertainment: The lifestyle and events that surround the game are what continuously bring in both casual and avid fans - both of which are key to growing the longevity of a brand.
