Why didn't the UFC hype train Wonderboy?

How come the UFC didn't hype up Wonderboy?

Great, fan friendly style. Stand up fighter, capable of highlight reel KO's.

Good looking kid (maybe not Sage territory).

Seems like a good candidate for the UFC to start up that hype train.

Lost to Brown, dropped by Ellenberger, likely to lose against Hendricks.
They will hype him if he highlight reels Hendricks.

 

[Weidman]

I feel he will KO Hendricks.

Arms too small

 

[Rational Poster]

He lost to Matt Brown.

 

[Dart Feld]

Well for one,Wonderboy's not actually a kid. He's a 30+ year old man.

Did that even connect?

Grazing shot similar to JDS Hunt.

Fans create the hype, not the UFC. There was one beginning to form and then Matt Browne shut it down.

Wonderboy was hyped by sherdog pretty bad. That is until he met the prospect destroyer in Matt Brown.

Did that even connect?

no it didn't connect. Ellenberger trying to lure him into his world class guard

just seems a delay in way the guy falls down

Because the UFC doesn't want another fighter they hype to lose. PVZ, sage, Ronda , etc. I like wonder boy but he will lose tonight

 

[Mood Swings]

Because Sherdog forums were already doing such a fantastic job of it??!!

 

[I am Everywhere]

I remember back in the day he was being hyped. Matt Brown was low ranked when he beat him so it was embarrassing at the time

Nah, look at it from another angle. His heel fully connects with Ellenberger's sleep.

That is nonsense. UFC created the Rousey hype train. She was copromoted by the UFC. Sheepdoggers don't even buy PPVs'. What can they create?

Kicks too pointy.
