What's up with Derrick Lewis being more popular than Stipe

[johny ringo]

This thread should confuse the race baiters we have.

 

[weaponzero2k2]

One has zero ground game and some of the most boring fights in UFC history yet is more popular than an actual champion that never takes a step backwards.

Lewis 2 million on IG
Stipe only 1.7 million

Wtf?

because Derrick has a personality LOL

 

[Captain Insano]

If it was Stipe with more popularity then Sherdog would say racism.

 

[VinceArch]

Ones balls are hot, the others isn't.

Wtf?

"My balls was hot" became a meme and Stipe's never done/said anything (intentionally) funny.

He speaks English

As a Stipe fan, I cbtlys aituy rrkod that!

 

[I_IZ_BACK]

He speaks English

Barely ... also he wasn't welspoken when being on Joe Rogan's podcast, one of the worst guests IMO. His input in the podcast was zero, answered a lot of Joe's questions with a single word and there were a lot of quiet periods of a couple of seconds. But he has a fun IG page, followed it for a couple of weeks.

American fans are racist and don't like Stipe's broken English. Always been that way bud, it's human nature.

 

[Serge421]

Because he caters to a non educated audience and there's plenty of them around

 

[Mammothman]

For me Black fights often, it's a finisher and shares meme, Miocic on the other hand is annoying, entitled and the worst barely fights.

 

[Based God]

Stipe speaks like he has marbles in his mouth and has zero charisma.

Thanks everyone, based on the Sterling thread I was almost baited into believing race was a factor

Show me a video of Stipe getting booed by the fans of the country he was born and raised in.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not. If you're not being serious then its funny and if you're being serious its hysterical.

Show us a video of Stipe not fighting through through adversity

 

[podsox]

Funny and fights all the time. Stipe never fights

 

[mirko>anyone]

I have my theories.

 

[Yep]

There’s two reasons why. It’s nuts.

Frankly I am shocked Stipe has 1.7 vs Lewis' 2M. "Where's Rhonda Rousey's fine ass at?" "My balls was hot", "I just gotta do a number 2, that's all." etc. That's why he is more popular. Stipe doesn't even seem all that concerned about chasing after fans. He fights when it is time and leaves it all in the cage. Gets far too much hate and is inaccurately called an inactive champion.
