Gall's hype might be the hardest to understand that I can remember.
That would be a good point if Sage won but he lost, Sage hasn't beaten anyone credible either.To be fair, Barberena is 10x more credible than any opponent Gall has ever faced. Much more proven than Gall is as well.

I thought it was relevant to show what they did afterwards as well - which is nothing. Only professional fights they have had.

no its not. its only relevant to include records at the time they fought.
Galls first three pro opponents 0-0-0, Sages first three pro opponents 4-7, thats the only thing thats relevant.
What. The. Fuck.He handily defeats this absolute WEAPON, and you have the audacity to question his credentials!? Shame on you TS, shame on you!
That's what I meant.It's not hard to understand the hype.. UFC hype machine
Whats hard is why people believe/buy into it so much.

Gall was able to weather the storm....
No, it really is
Character and narratives are how sports, in general, are sold and marketed. Star driven ones at least.
Nobody ACTUALLY thinks Gall is championship material, some people just think the guy who trains at a legit camp with a BJJ brownbelt might beat the kid with the Karate background who is more experienced but has shown some holes. THat's the sum of it, and they have rational reasons for thinking it.
If they're excited or fans of the guy, it's because like MOST sportsfans in every star driven sport they relate to him and someway or another, want to see him succeed and thus hype him before his time in the hopes they can say they were right about him.
Barely, everyone he's beaten has been cut. And it's not like he's been destroying guys either. I think Gall wins by sub.Certainly has beaten much more credible opponents in the UFC than Mike Jackson and CM Punk tho, no?
Risky move none-the-less. Could have had his jaw uppercutted clean off, I was scared for his life in that fight.I think Gall shot immediately on Punk because of that devastating stand up. All makes sense now.

No that's how sports are sold in the sports media.No, that's YOUR opinion on how sports are viewed.
