UFC Champion Popularity

[ironfist05]

Faber at bantam would be very popular

The People's Champion, Chael P. Sonnen (R)

Loudmouth WWE Sonnen will never be the champion, even though Dana is hellbent on making him one. How else do you explain getting a title shot AFTER a loss? No matter; JBJ is going to wreck Sonnen.

Everyone knows GSP. Some people don't even know what MMA is, or even remember what order the letter U-F-C go in, and still know GSP. His popularity is incredible.

 

[MrBoombastic]

Ahh shit, "apart from GSP", my bad, I can't edit posts

 

[Master Shonuff]

Rowdy. She gonna be headlining ppv for a long time and bouncing community banks

I think Lance Armstrong and Tiger Woods were both signed by Nike... they aint got much in the way of fans anymore.

I hate the guy but golf ratings with Tiger are triple those without Tiger.

 

[lloydrage]

Im pretty sure GSP gets the largest PPV numbers

lmao RIGHT, nobody likes Tiger anymore....

As a golf fan i couldn't give two sweet fucks what Tiger's doing on the side; boning a lot of bitches? Good for him... Still a phenomenal golfer.

Someone mentioned Mousasi would be loved and hated by many. I don't think so. Dude is expressionless. I think most would go, "meh", as far as personality that is. Him and Fedor have pretty much the same persona, subdued. The only reason Fedor generated so much conversation was because of his GOAT status (whether that is justified or not is up to each individual). Until Mousasi starts reigning with an iron fist, he isn't going to generate much interest, love or hate.

If a HW could string a few wins together, then that would generate lots of appeal to the masses.

People want love HWs. String 3 consecutive wins together and people would go bananas!

JDS was impossible to dislike as a champ (except on sherdog of course)

 

[EmeliankoFan1]

I think most people except Jones fans and Chael haters, want Jones to lose

If that was the case most casuals would not watch JBJ's fights, he does good PPV with casuals and I doubt they watch to see him lose.

 

[RichieNixon]

I think Cain can, hes extremely marketable and comes across well to the casual audience

 

[blizzard_armbar]

Honda is the best right now and forever. Not only is she well spoken and intelligent, but she is the best female fighter on the planet and she is smokin hot. She is not only popular, but also very marketable. I would not be suprised if she was all decked out in sweat suit adidas or nike.

HW:

Cain Velasquez- Obviously a huge draw with the Mexican population. Hard not to like and admire the guy. The fact that he eats burittos during training camp is awesome etc, comes across very well. Could he be huge outside of Mexico and US?

he is not a huge draw in mexico

 

[BrainLeakage]

he is not a huge draw in mexico

 

[TheYoshiSlayer]

Not counting The Spider and GSP, it's obviously Jones.

 

[EleazarI**]

if there ever was a market in mexico the ufc would have a card there along time ago

 

[0vary hugger**]

Good thoughtful post TS.Lot of effort went into that.

U mean like they are trying to for a long time .
