Why isn't jones as big as a star as he should be?

[IMDIYM]

It started with the Rashad stuff. He talked about how great friends they were. Then when the opportunity preaented itself he turned om Evans. From there he went from being a very humble kid to one of the most arrogant people we've ever seen in the sport. This on top of the dui

He is big enough. MMA is not a world wide popular sport like soccer or basketball. He is achived what an MMA fighter can reach. for ex: own shoes from nike, commercials.

This. He's as big of a star as one can be in MMA these days. It's just not a popular enough sport to have a MEGA star. And he's a pretty big star. He's more popular with casuals now than GSP ever was (except for in Canada). He's on Sportscenter more and the general sports media covers him more than any MMA fighter IMO.

Does anyone find it funny that a thread entitled "Why isn't Jones as big as a star" is made right now when Jones is trying to get a better deal for a potentially HUGE PPV fight in Jones vs. Gus 2?

Zuffa shill trying to devalue Jones in the public's eyes?

hes probably the biggest "mainstream" star the ufc has ever had, with the exception of maybe ronda, where id guess its close.

Biggest endorsements and most mainstream media coverage

lol

because being a star is not just about fighting.
