Biggest Marketing Hype Con jobs perpetrated by the UFC

[Krazybee129]

For Rhonda, it was that she was a 'once in a lifetime' athlete. To be fair she was and is a decent athlete and a champion, just no where near the level the UFC was hyping her up to be

Other UFC marketing hype con jobs include

Shamrock v Tito - Three times ! convincing the public that Shamrock had anything at all for Tito. Shamrock was so far shot, it was like a women's soccer team playing Brazil.

That James Toney had any business being in the Octagon - nuff said

That CM punk had any business being in the Octagon - nuff said

There have been some overhyping but the above examples are of outright fraud

not the same brazil team that got butt fucked by germany cuz that team will lose against womens team

The Reem.

You mean the guy who knocked out JDS, beat Werdum and just knocked down the current heavyweight champ?

OK fair points.

Still marketed as a beast whilst having far too many KO's in his career.

even in judo she was not * once in a lifetime *

You bought into all of them until after they were exposed. The whole point is to drive interest and you got interested and still are apparently.

Plenty of Sherdoggers were calling out the Ronda BS at the very height of the hype job

Toney wasn't a con IMO.

There was a nieche of hardcore boxing fans who thought he was going to clean up.

Sage, Page and Connor IMO.
