Obviously excluding Mystic Mac
The baddest man on the planet (as in the HW champ) is an incredible fighter, but certainly not a superstar, and that won't change in the future I reckon. He comes off as a simple, hard working blue collar big man that happens to enjoy kicking ass. That won't cut it.
In contrast, as much as I dislike Brock in general, he is/was a supernova. Ubereem maybe had it, before he got humbled and shrunk a bit. Paradoxically, he is now a better fighter but a lesser star. Also, he like many of the more charismatic guys in the business are in their mid-late thirties. Whatever stardom they were destined to reach, they already did I guess.
The only guy not called McGregor who I can see reaching those heights in the near future is in fact Bones. So please enlighten me, who should the UFC push?
By the way, I thought about this while reading about Cain's undeserved bullshot. They still see him as a potential posterboy, it seems.
*fucked up the title, it obviously should say 'marketable fighters'. I would appreciate it if a mod can correct it : ) *
