I mean, I don’t think Chael would do that in any era because it’s an undesirable thing to do for most people.
Yeah, he got more views by being hated. But the vast majority wanted to see someone beat his ass because he was just annoying. I think most fighters know they could do this, they just choose not to. Making yourself hated by fans and colleagues for a fee thousand bucks is something most people aren’t interested in, it’s not some genius Andy Kaufman character work.
he's the perfect guy to play the role in todays America and current political divide and does it quite well
like you said, people want to see him get beat up which is what he was aiming for
I think your selling him a little bit short - not a lot of guys can step in and pull off this ridiculous annoying act like he's doing
