Age range and gender in the UFC fans
The majority of data reveals that men predominately watch MMA. Most of the data we studied told that 10 to 25% of MMA spectators were female and 75% to 90% were male. 44% of fight enthusiasts, according to a dissident study on MMA and boxing supporters, were female. This was an anomaly that deviated from the consensus.
The age range of MMA fans is about what you might anticipate. According to studies, the audience appears to be made up of 30% of people aged 25 to 34 and another 30% of people aged 35 to 44. 10% are over 54, and 10% are under 24.
Marketers are particularly interested in reaching the highly populated 25–44 age group. This group typically has a lot of extra money to spend and is amenable to developing new brand habits.
