Why RDA isn't one of the most popular fighter?

[Sonny Qc]

Why?

He Ko/TKO Bendo & Cowboy
Beat the Hell of Nate Diaz & Pettis
All these guy are more popular than him.
He is Fun to watch, skilled fighter.
Won 10 of last 11 fight.

A lot of people (idiots) were picking Conor to beat him.
Smh

Why this guy isn't in the pound for pound discussion?

The Khabib loss 2 yrs ago?

Thought?

 

[KB Warrior]

He needs to beat Khabib.

 

[DiazStocktonSlappedConor]

Idk tbh he does deserve more attention but ppl don't seem to care about him

 

[bjpenngoat]

hes awesome. I dont get what the issue is. I can make a case he has already faced better competition than every other champ on his way up other than Bones. Cerrone, Pettis and Bendo are all time greats and he smoked em all.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

RDA has been really impressive in the past two years.

Too bad he recently missed out on the best opportunity of his career for greater exposure.

 

[BigMuffler]

He's an angel, people prefer devils.

He's P4P #3 or 4 in my book.

Jones
MM
RDA/Cruz

 

[Prex32]

lack of legit promotion
they prefer wwe clowns

 

[faustian]

I kinda have a hard time taking him seriously, similar to how I felt about Romero leading up to the inevitable... you know...

He's a new champ with one title defense. Give it time. He has everyone's attention!

I think its really just because hes not very charismatic. It goes a looong way to creating interest and selling fights. Its McG's single best attribute imo as it relates to his popularity. Swag is real, some got a lil, some got none, and rarely......we get a Diaz or McG type swag

 

[Venom]

Same reason team sports are more popular than MMA or boxing or golf.

No star power, no promotion, no big coverage,....RDA checks in, does his thing, checks out.

 

[12ga.]

You have to clean out division first before p4p can be talked about. Still has 3 to beat before that.

Alvarez
Ferguson
Khabib who already smoked him

 

[El Hombre]

Because Khabib beat him.

 

[ARONAbeetFEDOR]

Cause he looks like Frankenstein and has no personality. Also, PED allegations.

 

[fluffball]

I think it's because he sort of came out of nowhere despite being around for a long time. He used to be not that impressive, now he's like a goddam demon in the octagon, harvesting his sacrifices. He needs time for his popularity to catch up.

 

[MrDoctor]

Probably cuz his lack of personality. You need to market yourself and he doesn't do that.

 

[HHJ]

There is time enough yet. Especially if he gets another shot at the red panties.

 

[svinko]

the mainstream prefers trash talking clowns like the little leprechaun welcome to 2016

Conor is not charismatic. MMA fans just have set the bar extrememly low.

 

[Vikassi]

because people know the truth.
