The guy can sell a fight and he's a big personality. This is even before I knew he was on the celebrity apprentice. Now the guy has even more "star power".

In a UFC that dusted of 38 year old BJ, and dragged Brock back in the UFC for PPV's, do you think they would have kept Chael for the same reason?

Heck now that I think about it, would Tito have stood a chance of keeping his job considering how desperate the UFC seem to be to obtain fighters with some kind of star power?
 
Was an above average fighter on 4 steroids

Probably an average fighter on a 39 year olds natural test levels
 
They did, didn't they...?
You might be right. I'm not sure of the time line, but if that's true, it raises another question.

Was it the right move? WME are in the entertainment business, and Chael is currently on a reality show, being seen by millions. And you can't deny that the guy can generate interest on his own.
 
I doubt they'd invest a lot in a late 30's fighter who has been popped for a cocktail of PEDs. Who knows how good he is off the stuff and he clearly only has a few fights left in him.
