The UFC's Paige VanZant problem...

LMAO how frustrated is WME with the Paige VanZant situation right now?

Spent a gang of money trying to promote her, but:


- Mediocre looking chick (a little above average by wmma standards, I guess)

- Very average fighter

- Blatant, cringy attention whoring all over social media

- Lies to kids with cancer




What do they do with her?


I say take all of the VanZant promotional money and throw it at Rose.

-Cuter

- Way more mass appeal

- 100X more genuine

- Doesn't post planned, attention whore pics of her in a sauna, saying she's "passed out"

I don't think you know much about both fighters. They promoted Rose like she was the next Ronda coming out of TUF20. The problem was Rose got wrecked by Carla in the Finale and then disappeared for 6 months. How do you suggest they promote someone who goes MIA fort half a year? You are also wrong about saying they wasted money on promoting PVZ. She pulls great ratings. Her last fight peaked at 4.8 Mil viewers. How many people in the UFC or MMA period can pull that? I understand you have something against PVZ but at least use facts when you are hating.

UFC wishes they had a PVZ in every weight class.

I just have to disagree with one thing------- as far as WOMEN CAGE FIGHTING goes, I would consider PVZ- pretty fucking hot.I mean- at least adorable.
We're talking the X-chromosome entering cages to fistfight.

They should pay her next opponent to run at her with a flying knee so Paige can sidestep and take her down for a submission. Maybe pay her a little extra so she refuses to admit it was a terrible strategy no matter how stupid it makes her look.

I absolutely have something against PVZ....shamelessly whoring herself out all over insta giving legit female fighters a bad name, cringe reebok ads, the "I'm SO single guys!!!" posts... Lying to sick kids....what's not to love, right?

And how can we forget about this beaut?

"....She's passed out bro! Really, she is! SOOO hot bro!!!!...."



She needs to spend less time trying to milk her "meh" looks, and spend more time improving her fighting skills. She gets canned by any decent fighter, but the UFC insists on shoving her down people's throats.


Get rid of her and promote someone who deserves it.

''Cuter'' she was when she had hair but only nambla members are attracted to her now
 
Dude coMe on, Paige is very good looking. And also she is still very young, she certainly possesses the drive to compete and win, which could make her a star.

They aren't
She did great buys on Fox twice due to her exposure

Also I have no idea what big money you think they threw at her.
Most of her exposure is from social media (free), sponsors & DWTS

Oh look somebody with a brain. Paige has used social media and some metro pcs time to be promoted. The UFC hasn’t done shit with her in terms of money. For the type of fighter she is, Paige brings in more views than she is worth. Therefore, with her being an average wmma fighter I’d say she is actually an asset.

The only thing they can do is continue to push her, make good match-ups for her and pray she wins.

Not sure who said it, but in a conversation about Dana White, Vince McMahon, the UFC and WWE... they talked about it: It´s hard to create stars when you don´t control the results of the fight. Even if you put up favorable match-ups... nothing guarantees you he/she´ll win.

They tried to push Paige, and still are, for the obvious reasons: WOOD (I agree she´s above MMA standards, but I wouldn´t use the word mediocre for her looks. Solid 7.5/10)

and she has a couple of highlights againts mediocre fighters (that Bec Rawkings KO) but everytime she´s face some "serious" opposition: Rose, Waterson... she´s lost badly and she will in the future.

Nothing special about her skillwise

She would stand out at the grocery store but not at the fitness center at the local college.
 
They pay her peanuts and she's willing to whore herself on social media without them even asking. It's a good investment.

Rose needs to grow her hair back if she wanna win some fans over. Real talk
 
Agree.

Promote Rose, not that talentless PVZ.

Disclaimer: Wood

Reality - 90% of her hotness is due to her fitness. Give her an average physique and she'd be your average, decent looking girl. Nothing really special about her.

I'll take a facial = four with a 10 body over a dime face and a nickel body any day.
