Who is UFC's biggest star today, Izzy, Jones or Islam?

poatan is the biggest star. he headlined 300 and he delivered. anyone who follows mma knows his fights are must-see. none of the other names mentioned have that appeal.
 
Islam? Lo-fucking-L
Very cheeky to throw him in at the end with Bones and Izzy.

Islam isn't even the most popular guy in his corner during his fights most of the time.

This.
Islam is only known by hardcores outside of middle East.

Alex is even bigger by a mile right now.

For being the "biggest star" of the UFC, poatard isn't even recognised as a mixed martial artist by the Google algorithm. Huh.

Alex is the biggest fan favorite along with Max and Dustin.
 
Jones, not necessarily due to good reasons though. I don't think Islam is thst big of star honestly, not on Khabib's level. Izzy has an argument too.
 
You talking numbers, impact, or both? Islam is probably the biggest, but Poatan seems to be most impactful right now, not sure who is moving the needle the most right now though.
Thread trolled you with success, the join date is kind of surprising.
Besides Conor, Jones is probably the most box office guy on a fight by fight basis but he also is pretty inactive.
Yeah GK, Jones is, Maybe, pretty inactive, b-b-but Stipe never fought Jon one time in the years DC or he was the real ufc HW Champion, then Francis KO'd Stipe while Jon was silent for a full decade.

Then Dana handed over Jon's Gift of Gane fake belt because Dana knew Jon wouldn't have the courage to ever fight a HW Champion for it.

That made Jon the greatest HW ever in the history of MMA - if Jon would beat Stipe many many years after Stipe fought as a HW... while Jon Hid.
Conor has not fought in 3 or 4 years, so he doesn't count.
Weak white belt thread, no slam to white belts that make decent threads.

All threads about current fighters shouldn't include Conor or Jones.

Here the tapology fan favorites. Gives you a hint about popularity.
 
In America it's Jones. Poatan probably second.

In the Middle East it's Islam

Australia it's Izzy?

Worldwide it's probably Islam but low fight rate and his main region of fans don't buy PPV.
Is Jones big with the casuals tho?

Do we know the last PPV #s for Jones vs Gane?

This isn't 2020 any longer. Islam is definitely bigger than Izzy now.

No
You ask the average person who they both are izzy will be recognised far more.
Again Islam is not some mainstream star just because your a fan.
 
The whining that 'Australians don't like me because they're all racist' that he came out with against Strickland, the race baiting against DDP, the constant underprivileged victim mentality despite him growing up wealthy, the cringe comments that we were told is supposed to be charisma, all the other weird stuff like tugging his dog off on tv.
Volk the most liked fighter we've had by far. He's the only mma fighter that's a legitimate star, he gets invited on mainstream TV stuff, and his social media stuff is hilarious.
If we were going to support a kiwi, Hunt has always been pretty popular.
 
I haven't checked the metrics, but I don't really feel that the UFC has a true standout star right now. Nothing like Lesnar, McGregor, or Rousey at least. There are fighters they TELL YOU are mega stars but I don't think they're setting record numbers or anything.
