Media Can Topuria Become a 'Superstar' In The UFC? According To Stat Him and Mcgregor ALREADY Have ALOT More Things in Common Than You Think..

[Black9]

If he beats Volk, can you guys see him becoming a "Superstar"?

 

[smalliebiggs]

they forgot to mention the stat where Ilia got finished by 2 cans

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

He might become a star but nothing like Conor . He’s nowhere near as charismatic or has the trash talk

 

[nostradumbass]

Both manlets. The similarities are endless.

 

[Xoleth]

Same career start? Was he submitted two times?

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

Conor was already a superstar before he even fought Mendes lol

True, though they havent tapped into the Spanish market yet unlike they did with Ireland.
He's already bringing massive soccer/football stars to fight nights, he has massive potential

 

[markg171]

Conor vs Mendes did 1M PPV buys on his very first PPV main event where he didn't even fight Aldo lol. And had they had him headline over the higher weight Lawler/Rory WW title fight because they knew he was already a star.

You're batshit crazy if you think Volk/Ilia is doing anywhere near that. No casual even knows who Ilia is. He's getting the title shot because there's no one else.

 

[blaseblase]

He's got nowhere near the hype of Conor, he has the potential to be a decent draw.

Topuria is already big on his side of the world, he has a huge fan base. If he wins and keeps winning he'll be a big star. Not Conor level but still big.

 

[Question]

I don't think so, no.
Conor's stardom was insane even before he became interim champ.

He might be popular, but I don't think he'll reach those heights of Conor from that period.

Wasn’t Conor’s tattoo to begin with, pay respect to the model dude who Conor swagger jacked.

 

[Zanmato]

The only stat why matters when it comes to this comparison is - how many viewers and how much money does he bring in? He's a good fighter but I don't sense any superstar quality so far. He's had 6 fights in 3 years and has only been on the main card of a PPV once. McGregor had headlined 3 events in the same period. Not saying he is not good but he is not in the same league needle-movement wise

 

[czitos188]

People forget Mcgregor had massive support from fans even when he was prelim fighter. In his first main event on free tv he pulled the best ratings in history of the company.

 

[akeller901]

Nobody was will be as big as Conor. Ilia could be bigger than Izzy and definitely O’ Malley

 

[laleggenda27]

1. It's very difficult for any fighter to become a star (let alone a "superstar") in the UFC if they can't speak English.
2. Conor swagger jacks some random model with his entire look. Then Topuria swagger jacks Conor's chest tattoo AND spinal tattoo. So strange.

 

[flektarn]

Zero rizz . Dude has no presence during fight press conferences. And don't blame it on ESL, many fighters' charisma comes through fine through translation and even just body language.
