Why isn't the UFC hyping Rumble as the next Tyson?

[JonesBonesJonny]

It's not boxing but cmon knocking out guy after guy in the first round, promote him and casuals would be interested.

 

[Rubberchin]

Because he gasses and gets beat by a wrestler if he can't KO you in 2 minutes.

 

[1King]

It's hard to market someone as invincible and unbeatable when they have multiple losses.

 

[ortizgnp]

Because he's not.

 

[ShackleMeNot]

As much as I like rumble, he would get choked out by the collar on his shirt

 

[yeguiza]

not as marketable as connor

remember mainstream viewres are teenagers / preteens

they identify more with connor

 

[mraa1]

not a heavyweight so no one cares

 

[Epicness]

because that would be racist of them and woodley would cry

 

[HendricksPunch]

You're right. UFC needs a draw. AJ is that draw. If he wins the title, whenever that is, the hype will come.

 

[Deleted member 196663]

I agree, now that I think about it. We all know he's a destroyer.

 

[MuyThaiElbows]

Because he can't fight Cormier or Jones

 

[koipin]

I like AJ but if you are thinking Tyson by way of comparison, then you don't remember Tyson. Sheer out and out monster.

 

[Einstein]

Because for every 3 first round knockouts he gets choked out

 

[sub_thug]

Because he has losses to guys that were on the UFC roster as LW's, WW's, and MW's. It's hard to sell him as a LHW destroyer like that.

 

[Andy Anderson]

Because of dana WHITE

 

[Touch of Death]

He needs to start winning the big fights then, if they want to promote.
How can they promote him as a destroyer when he gets destroyed himself?

 

[CodCommando]

Hes too nice

 

[MMAViewer]

If he beats DC and Jones then he will be.

 

[Huligani]

Because he gasses and gets beat by a wrestler if he can't KO you in 2 minutes.

^ Never saw the Phil Davis fight.

Rumble threw Dana's yoga mat so Dana's mad at him now.
