Media Why have they not done this for Dricus vs Khamzat?

[MMAFanCal]

There is so much that is being left out for the fight to be better promoted. It could generate so much more hype, if they had done this for Dricus vs Khamzat.

They did that for all of the big fights like Ilia vs Holloway or Volk vs Islam etc. Yet, they are keeping Dricus and Khamzat away from each other. Just put them face to face and have Brett Okimoto or someone moderate the trash talking.

I would love for Khamzat to do the mean look thing with Dricus and see what the reaction is. It would generate so much more hype for the fight and better PPVs

Yeah, hopefully. The promotion of potentially the biggest fight of the year, has been sh*t so far.

They seriously need to do more face to face interviews. Sometimes they do them virtually and that's pretty much it.

I guess they wont do it because boxing does it a lot and Dana has a big ego so he wont UFC do it because of that.

Why? Khamzat's English isn't great. The best thing they can do is just go old school on it and show highlights of their fights.

It’s due to racism against Africans and Swedes

Neither is a big draw, or known outside devoted MMA circles. Casuals don't care about them. Americans also hate Russians.

I honestly think it would still be good with Chimmy.

My post though was more about the fact that I want to see it much more for big fights like this overall, not just this specific fight.

I heard Khamzat was scared to go outside

UFC is the star, not the fighters (employees).

Should have done a face to face like they did with Till and Masvidal

 

[Chagaev]

Who knows. UFC promotion doesn't make sense lately. They burried the HW division while having two KO machines at the top in the last five years. UFC is dying.

It is kind of odd how this is the biggest fight of the year, yet we don't get a single face off or conversation between the two men in the main event until like two days before the fight itself.
