Since the UFC came to prominence in mainstream media in 2006, and with their 2007 merger with Pride FC and purchase of WEC and Strikeforce, no companies have presented significant competition, and the UFC has under contract most of the top ranked talent. The UFC broadcasts their fights on Fox Sports and others. Outside of the UFC, the current secondary major MMA organisations that also have on their roster at least 3 top 15 ranked fighters are: * Bellator MMA. Based in Newport Beach, California, United States. Broadcasts their fights locally on Spike TV and other networks around the world. * ONE Championship. Based in Kallang, Singapore.

Fight Network Retrieved october 20,2014〕 has many top ranked fighters in their female Atomweight division.〔(Issue Date: 10/19/2014) (Women’s Atomweight (110.9 lbs and under) fighter ranks ), Fight Matrix Retrieved October 20, 2014〕〔(October 1, 2014) (Unified Women’s Mixed Martial Arts Rankings ) mmarising.com Retrieved October 20, 2014〕 Fighters usually get contracts in the above promotions including the UFC after competing successfully in other MMA organisations from around the world. Some MMA organizations tend to exist more to build up prospects while others have a good mix of prospect/veteran. Some exist only to be feeder leagues to the bigger promotions, others exist to try and be the best in the world. Some organizations only do 4 shows a year while others are doing them monthly. The top 50 regional MMA organisations in the world, compiled on Sherdog forum, have been evaluated by how much talent the promotion currently has, has had in the past, and how notable their fighting venues are while doing so. Popularity has some influence as well.
