Has UFC started to promote Khabib properly?

[Werdun]

His recent popularity, is it due to UFC

Or has he really deserved it?

100% deserved

He has a real cult following like Conor has. I don't know who else among the top fighters have this kind of massive following with them.

Khabib promotes himself

by winning

 

[MayhemMonkey]

its hype

 

[WHALEWOLF]

No, he just started being more active and winning. He's doing it on his own. IMO the UFC could be doing MORE to promote him.

i think the shertards are responsible

Ireland, only six million. Russia, one hundred fifty million. Alhamdulilah.

Haha love khabib but them sneaky Russians

 

[USA!USA!]

I'd say both. This is his biggest fight so far - but he certainly deserve it with his record and performances.

The guy is 25-0.
You tell me.

Khabib has hindered himself a bit in the past but there has always been a shine to the man.

He is fun to watch and often quite amusing. Anyone who comes to scrap the way he does deserves the spotlight.

I like that you bet your sig on Max but recognize how legit Khabib is. I tip my hat to you.

It’s been earned. If he wins on Saturday the UFC should promote him more. But who knows what the UFC is doing these days. I see no rhyme or reason with this shit show circus. They seem to do the exact opposite of what I think I’d do if I had a say in it.

 

[shertardinho]

UFC has shitty promo skills - virtually 0
fighter has to it himself and Habib is fine doing it

 

[tbulls123]

UFC can careless about promoting him. Win or lose, they could care less cause he doesn't talk shit and have a loud mouth like these other guys who are getting their way by doing so. He deserved it and always had a large fan based imo.
