Does anyone feel like Demetrious Johnsons lack of popularity comes from a lack of quality wins? He is coming up on Silvas title defense record but he still doesnt generate a lot of hype and most people seem to not care about his fights.
I personally feel like if he fought and beat the BW champion he would become one of the goats. GSP has wins over former champions and top p4p fighters like BJ Penn and Matt Hughes; he also beat Serra who technically was also the champion. In fact many top 10 p4p all time lists probably will have Penn and Hughes on them. Jones beat a whos who list in 2011 with wins over former champions Machida, Jackson, and Shogun. Silva beat former champions Franklin, Griffin, and Belfort.
Anyone else think its just a lack of quality fighters thats why DJ doesnt get any attention or is it just that flyweights will never be considered top guys?
