5 ways in which MMA has aided the world of Martial Arts

Easy promotion and popularity is the word.

As MMA puts in various martial arts and artists at one place, it indirectly integrates the fans at one place too. So the Brazilian Jiujutsu is no longer just for the Brazilians but for the world to see. Similarly, a particular mixed martial art from any region or country reaches many worldwide and creates a buzz of excitement.

Due to the increasing demands and existing matchups, the fights are marketed very effectively via television (e.g. UFC and FOX partnerships), social media (e.g. OneFC on Twitter , Facebook), magazines and also games (e.g. Sudden Impact of UFC by EA Sports). This directly benefits all who are involved...fighters being the superstars of the same.

Publicity also facilitates income for the fighters. They can earn at what they do best and also promote the culture they bring to the cage. Thus helping both the fighters and the art they represent.
