UFC's pillars

[cyrusthevyrus]

Which are UFC pillars, meaning if they leave, UFC crushes?

Would say Gus, Whittaker, Rockhold, Khabib, Max, TJ, Cody, Dom, Frankie, Stipe. If those are stolen by another organization, UFC loses so much credibility and fans.

 

[Credo]

I´m not sure man, UFC is bigger than their fighters. They will create new stars in a sec.

Half of those you named wouldn´t be missed imo

 

[Thesnake101]

Literally none of those fighters named would make the UFC die if they chose to leave. They're not huge stars or anything, so the UFC would barely be affected.

 

[3nigma]

No one fighter is going to kill the UFC. Maybe if all those guys left at the same time.

 

[Michael Wetzel]

Conor, but in this case the pillar is taller than the ceiling it supports (UFC).

Terrible list.

Casuals have no idea who most of those people are.

Name some stars created in 2017

[Otto!]

No one. Fighters come and go. Sales go down when the big stars leave, but life goes on.

 

[Fraz]

Omg wtf think mcfly

 

[executionermma]

Name some stars created in 2017

UFC gave these guys the potential to be a star, now it's on their own:

Paulo Costa, Francis Ngannou, Marlon Moraes, Brian Ortega, Justin Gaethje, Darren Till..

 

[tasticles]

If losing Jones, Rousey, GSP and Conor didn't kill the UFC, nothing will. They will be fine.

 

[Draxton]

Terrible list.

Casuals have no idea who most of those people are.

This.

 

[DarkneT]

There's no such thing

The one thing the fertittas did good was build the brand name over the fighters
And it's paying dividends

The show goes on no matter who try's to hold them randsom
Including Conor

 

[Summoning]

Mousasi, Rory, Larkin and Benson.

I think right now Mighty mouse is more well known than Max, but I can see you hate him

 

[Obiwan]

Mousasi, Rory, Larkin and Benson.

Don't forget two popular heavyweights, Roy Nelson and Frank Mir.

 

[Robbie Corleone]

No one fighter is going to kill the UFC. Maybe if all those guys left at the same time.

I don’t even think that would do it.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Gus fights one a year at best anyway. He's basically gone.

The UFC will create new stars and shit on old ones.

Did you think that maybe you think wrong?

That's true. There are people who cannot make the difference between UFC and MMA. Some believe UFC is the sport itself, not an organisation.

The only thing that can break UFC would be a large number of fighters leaving at once, all to the competition. 20-25 top fighters.

Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, Mark Coleman, Randy Couture, Tito Ortiz, BJ Penn, Matt Hughes, Evan Tanner, Rich Franklin, Chuck Liddell, GSP... There is single person that matters that much to the UFC or any other brand.
