Is "a deal" now a thing? Like big deal? Honest question, cause it's pretty f'ing stupid.
I'm going to treat it as if you said big deal. Totally depends on what you'd consider a big deal. I think UFC will continue to push him, he's exciting, big, hits hard, fights all the time, has tons of room for improvements and is quite good for his handful of fights/time in the sport, the weight class is shallow as hell and he's got that love him or hate him draw. I don't think he'll be a huge deal, but I think he'll continue to be more of a draw and kinda cap out as he wins a few (some brutally) against lower level guys then loses to good guys and loses some draw. Then KO's some lower level guy, his hype raises again and then loses and people talk less. Up and down, but I don't think he'll be a real big deal, but certainly gets attention.
