Is this the lowest UFC has been, star wise

[johnnybeebob]

No Khabib means no Russian fans / Muslim and middle eastern fans

McNugz is gone after he looses to Dustin to Fight Jake Paul means no European fans


Stipe is slurring his words and not fighting so no Yugoslavian fans

Jon Jones is constantly in jail and appears be have a strange relationship with his dog. Appears mid life crisis. Look fwd to more jail time (my dad was tossed in the sin bin at his age too) No American Fans

No GSP means no Canadians care about ufc.

is Israel the great hope for fandom ?

I thought the point of the ESPN+ deal was that it doesn’t rely on stars.

Chimaev = worldwide fans

 

[Frankie Baby!]

Conor KOs Dustin, wtf.

Israel was winning over all the weebs fandom.
But his mainstream breakthrough was ruined by his NSFW celebration in his last fight... Sensitive dork... yet such an exceptional fighter.

I think it boils down to whether you're a fan of high level mma competition or the ufc money machine

Make him grow a beard, and take acne medication.
those are th key elements that made conor the man he is today.

No one cares about Volk in Australia. Whittaker is still a far bigger name here.

If somebody watches the sport for one fighter, then it's hard to even call them and MMA fan. More like a [insert fighter name ] fan alone.

We had Theodorou until Dana cut our boy.

lel no yugoslavian fans. Yup, no USSR fans either...

I think you are not aware that yugoslavia doesn't exist since 1992.

But only stars bring "boxing level" success. It's the reason boxing is so top heavy. Only a handful of fighters can turn fights into "events." YouTube stars are bigger draws than most UFC fighters. It's disgusting, but that's how it is. I would say it's how it's always been. Fight sports don't have the fan base team sports have. While K-1 used to be big, it wasn't big in the overall sports world.

Don't worry. Some people don't know the USSR no longer exist. "Russia is gone?"

GOATeira is our only hope
