Overall, I see your point though. And I'm going to take this opportunity to say here that after years of being called a Zuffa shill for saying they are smart to promote the brand over the fighters, an awful lot of fans are now disappointed in what it looks like when a fighter becomes bigger than the UFC.
You think Americans have an idea about which sport Ronaldo plays? They just know his name and image - like most casuals.This is not just "bigger".
He's basically unrelated to MMA right now. Those who know who he is might not even understamd the difference between MMA, UFC and boxing.

People will google him again when they see this on the news
