Which UFC stars do you think should be promoted more?

Werdum

Speaks 3 languages decently, HW champ, you barely see him, although he does commentary for ufc latino now
 
Dereck Brunson
Yoel Romero
Ty Woodley
 
What does it actually mean to promote more? I honestly don't know what that means specifically. Like, put out hype videos? Have them do Q&A's? The UFC puts the top billed fights on Embedded, and it has most fighters go to media day. It's the fighters' responsibility to promote themselves with their mouths and their fists.
 
RDA, Wonderboy, Aljamain Sterling, are three right off the bat that come to mind. RDA I feel is getting the shaft by having his fight on a Thursday night during fight week on fight pass? Granted it's against Alvarez but no way the LW CHAMP should be fighting on fight pass. Put the Steakhouse match-up of Hendricks/Gastelum on fight pass put RDA under the big bright lights of 200
 
Some of the names mentioned, there's only so much you can do to promote them. You have to give them a platform, but if they don't have the personality it won't matter.
 
RDA as the next big thing from Brazil.
The guy is defending his belt in a FN card FFS
 
How about anybody except for Ronda and especially Conor that's constantly shoved down out throats?

It if was a scale it would go

I think it's about time for them to build RDA into something bigger. If he wins against Alvarez that is.

Titan RDA is one of the scariest fighters in the latest years.
 
UFC will only promote what they have to work with. There's plenty of fighters who get good money and promotion based on the demographic they fit.

Lauzon gets good money and air time considering his limitations as a fighter and sketchy record because he's a nerd and has a great web presence; thus marketing himself to his target viewership.

Cain is marketable by his ethnicity and his tattoos help carry that.

Forrest worked his self-deprecating charm that appealed to the regular blue collar worker.

If you fit a demographic, put on exciting fights and are willing to do your part, the UFC will back you. Someone like Aldo who never bothered to learn English is always going to have his limitations to mass western appeal. There's a reason JDS got a Nike contract and UFC promo time before him.

Wonderboy and Makwan

Lawler should have more promotion as well.

Agreed with Lawler. I think Makwan will start getting noticed more when he wins a couple more

I think Tumenov should get noticed a little more. At one of his last pressers Dana acted like he didn't even remember his name and said "yeah the Russian dude looked good tonight" . He could be like a Fedor type almost if he keeps winning which I think he will. Also Michelle Waterson should get more love than she does, I think it's just mainly because she's new. But she's extremely marketable and most importantly can fight. Can't wait to see her get back in there
 
What could UFC really do? Easy match-ups and book many public media appearances? That's the best way to get MMA fans to hate you.
 
Most of my picks have already been mentioned, but after Fox19. Rose Namajunas and Tecia Torres should be promoted more after the fight they just had.

i'm just pointing out your lack of common sense. The UFC undoubtedly made more money off the larger demographic and that played a larger part in the ufc's willingness to promote him

What on earth are you talking about? You're still salty from the other day, I was talking about domestic PPV sales which as far as I know doesn't include Canada, you really need to grow up and stop following me around looking for an argument, you're not even making any sense.
