Who in the blue hell does he appeal to?
Like seriously, everyone who's a big draw has a demographic right?
Ronda is attractive, and she was an unstoppable badass - that brings in the male viewership. She's also a dominant woman in a male dominated sport - so that brings in the female viewership. Men and women of all ages have a reason to like Ronda.
Conor is super entertaining with his creative one-liners and quotables. He has an entire country behind him, alongside the majority of the neighboring nations like Scotland, England also jumping onto the wagon also. He was also an unstoppable badass - which brings in the males. He's a fashionable, confident, semi-attractive young man, who is going to therefore bring in the female audience.
So onto Sage!
Clearly he's not in the same stratosphere as Ronda/Conor, and by no means am I directly comparing. What I am doing is taking him as an example of someone who the UFC is trying extremely hard to turn into a star, the way they did with Ronda/Conor.
My question is, what the hell about him is even palatable?
I think he's actually quite annoying and comes off very naive and childish in the way he communicates. He lacks professionalism in his tone and just seems "happy to be there", which is cool, but he just feels so amateur. He spends more time talking about Texas A&M than MMA.
Who does he appeal to? Seriously!
Him being 20 doesn't help him. Not saying that women 25+ don't find 20 year old men attractive, but a slightly more mature man is always seen as more of a "man" and not a "boy" like Sage. Girls 25 and below are hardly the UFC's main demographic, if at all.
Him being 20 also doesn't help him with the male audience, I say this because I don't think there are many fighters we could say we've been dedicated to and hardcore supported from the age of 20, they still feel like kids at that stage.
The UFC force him down our throats like he has the "IT" factor, like there is just the right formula for him to succeed and be a huge star - I personally just don't see it.
Thoughts? Am I being too harsh? Do you agree with me?
Let's hear it...
