Yeah but none of the casuals even got Stephen's name.
They'll just know him as who da fook is dat guy
You can't become a draw like dat.
He probably is. He needed to take the momentum and go with it, he didn't. Stephens can because he's a 145 lbIs TJ a bigger draw because of the "snake in de grass" bullshit? I don't think it's that simple.
He's not known as 'the guy who said he KOs people' lol...
he's known as 'who the fuck is that?' guy who got humiliated and swept under the rug.

Anyone who follows MMA is very much interested in watching Jeremy Stephens fight, and has been for a very long time.
I mean, thousands of casuals watched that press conference. Stephens-McGregor vid went absolutely viral.... Everyone recognizes the guy now (Except McGregor ) and when casuals see his face they'll go like "Hey, this guy said when he KO's people they don't fucking move"
And imagine if he actually KO's Frankie out cold lol. The KO footage would go viral in a split second and Stephens would be 10x more vocal.
I don't like McGregor's gimmicks or Stephens himself but it is what it is, that was a hella smart business move from Jeremy at the press conference. And McGregor only helped it become a lot bigger with that hilarious reply lol.
