Take a fall against cejudo? Its ludicrous, but I cant think of anything that could make mm interesting to the casuals. Its hard to sell a mm fight. Maybe a rubber match with an olympic gold medalists might stir some interests.

If you've got other ideas, please post them-sans the chael/conor type of marketing.

Congrats, you went full retard.
 
He is imo p4p but 125'ers arent getting the attention or respect they deserve.

Short of doing a fix fight, what would be the best for mm and the division? Give them 5 lbs of coke each and hope for the best(tmz)?
 
Dumbest suggestion ever. He needs to take a fight with a top 135'er to generate interest.

Not really. The best selling fighter in MMA fights at 145. The second best selling fighter in MMA fights at 135. Personality matters.

Conor is a regular sized man. Ronda is big for a woman. Mighty Mouse is tiny for a man, he'd even be small if he were a woman.

You said size matters. By that logic, the heavier weight fighters should be outselling him. They're not. As for him being a 'regular sized man', you say that simply because MMA fans have gotten used to the FW and BW divisions. In boxing, a fighter the size of Mighty Mouse is treated as a regular sized man.
 
Henry ce who though? Lol. The ufc doesn't push MM as much as they should. Maybe a season of TUF would help.

I didn't say heavier fighters should sell more. What i'm saying is that there is a point where smallness becomes weird and freakshowish and people will stop caring. Do you think 115 or 105 pound men would sell any PPV? There's no way people would waste their time watching that. Mighty Mouse is borderline freakshow small and a lot of people just arent going care no matter what he does.

No MM should go stick his nuts in a mouse trap.

And there would be nothing stopping someone from saying 135 and 145 are too weird and 'freakshowish' before they were included in the UFC. No way is a 145 pound 'midget' going to attract the attention of the Heavyweights. In fact, people did say those things about those divisions. Your perception of the division is really just based on the fact that it's the current lowest division.

The only reason 145 really works at all is because they had huge LW names such as frankie edgar, bj penn, guida and conor move down a weight class. You're pushing your luck with 145. Anything below that and you're going to have a hell of a time promoting it. It's just the way it is.

(The UFC does not release official numbers of its pay-per-view sales.)" - MMAJunkie
