Does GSP vs Sage Northcutt have marketing/branding/buy power?

[Jon Stark]

I was thinking about GSP’s next fight and what his criteria for opponent includes which seems to be proven commodity, name recognition, possible high ceiling for talent and Sage seems to meet the criteria. This is based on my interpretation of the MMA hour interview.

That has ending Sage’s life power.

A ridiculous thought, imo. I can’t imagine anybody wanting to see that. It wouldn’t last a round.

You have to be a really miserable person to wish that upon a great human being like Sage.

I actually heard that Dana was considering throwing Sage into a wood chipper the next PPV. Supposed to boost the numbers.

I suppose they could just let him fight GSP though.

 

[Sage NorthGOAT]

Yeah, lets get this over with and make it official

No, Sage doesn't stand a chance and everyone knows it. Like Conor, GSP has to fight someone you could reasonably expect to beat him to create the sense of "peril" that translates to excitement that generates ticket sales.

This is what seperates Conor and Mighty Mouse in their ability to generate money for themselves and the UFC. MM never fights anyone you would expect to beat him.
