Name a fighter that has a lot of popularity but not as much talent

[xentreos]

Colby Covington comes to mind

 

[NoSmilez]

Maybe Strickland. He has a fun personality but he talks a huge game. He is talented but he isn't going to murder someone. He is going to decision someone really hard at best. It is usually going to be a weird split decision.

 

[BigOlJeet]

Prime Nate was very talented

Dude fought all big names his whole career.

 

[BigOlJeet]

Also, past present and future, Conor.

 

[bjjwar]

It's Conor for sure!

 

[Ares Black]

I'm a Rosas fan -- he used to train at the same gym as me. I also agree -- his whole family has tons of talent.

Yeah I actually like the kind. Don't really get the hate for him.

 

[Asahi]

Black beast.

 

[JohnMandick]

Takada's naked cheeks would like a word.

 

[humperdoo]

Colby Covington. Given so much title fights but not getting close to it.

 

[BowserJr]

Conrat

 

[mister piscadinha]

How can you say Nate and Masvidal aren’t talented wtf.

they are
just not as nearly as they are popular

 

[Jormungandr]

thats pretty fucking random bro

Told ya

 

[HHJ]

they are
just not as nearly as they are popular

That level is rarely ever maintained.


The most popular fighters are usually because of exciting fighting styles and personalities. Not being the best.

 

[don't ask]

Colby

 

[Jibsta69]

Forrest Griffin was very slow and lack athleticism. He was well rounded but particular elite at anything

 

[Eater of Souls]

PVZ
Rachael Ostovich

 

[Swiftie]

Cynthia Calvillo

 

[HHJ]

Forrest Griffin was very slow and lack athleticism. He was well rounded but particular elite at anything

Yes but he can follow a gameplan.

Sometimes this is all you need.

Thats why Belal Muhammad is getting a title shot

 

[checktheknuckles]

Conor, Khazmat,

 

[TGArthur]

Fatty Pimpledick sir.

Very good, sir.
