UFC just needs to start marketing to internet savvy millenials, like when Dana said he doesn't read the internet because he has twitter on his phone

Also tying Lewis and DJ together: that is why people think they could beat up lighter weight champions. There are all kinds of regular burly gentleman walking around that could have a good shot of beating up the best p4p fighter alive.

horse poo poo. frank walks around at 155 and regularly beat the poo poo out of guys who weighed 175/180 lbs shredded who also happened to be among the best fighters in the world.

I walk around at like 210 and once spent a minute unable to get out from under the side control of a (very low level) female pro strawweight. Mighty Mouse would easily handle me in a grappling match and beat me even easier if striking came into play, and I'm willing to bet I'm more fit/capable to fight than 90% of the population.

Frankie beat a bunch of guys who ended up at 145 and lost twice to a guy whose main skill was big thighs

This now has my wondering if I could escape from beneath an 80 pound non-elite pro woman and I'm going to go against the grain here and say I probably could

you're not going to get an argument from me about size and strength mattering, but random joe who weighs 240 would get hammered by mighty mouse, it wouldnt be close, and no he wouldn't really have a chance. the fact that a lot of people think they would have a shot at beating the 5'3 best fighter in the world because they weigh more is really funny and seems at odds with my experience in combat sports between people who know what they're doing an people who don't, and then going to the extreme ends of both scales.

Hell, I myself was easily beat by an 80 pound girl, also I weigh 210 pounds and probably am not 6'3" or taller. This means that mighty mouse is actually good.

Demian Maia, arguably the greatest MMA grappler of all time and has a claim to top 10 bjj practitioners of all time, couldn't beat Mark Munoz who was approx the same size because mark was too strong to get dragged to the ground. And we can all agree that Mark Munoz had basically no training

I wonder how much the HBO specials leading up to a fight how do to raise the sales per event. I'm sure they help in the long term to raise profile.

Kilometers Davis: Jul 9, 2007; They begin again

DC is cool

�UFC, if you want Demetrious Johnson to fight T.J. Dillashaw, give him the money,� Cormier said Wednesday. �Pay him a million dollars and say �that�s your fight.� I know it�s a lot for a 125-pounder, but the guy�s the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Pay him the money, and then let him go fight. ... Pay him as the No. 1 fighter in the world for once.�

�I think the responsibility for everything can be shared between Demetrious and the UFC,� Cormier said. �The UFC really doesn�t understand how to market him, because they have to get creative. He�s smaller. He�s not the biggest guy. He�s dominant. Even when Anderson Silva was the guy running through his division, his points weren�t very high, so they have to get creative. I don�t know if they�ve gotten creative. But I do believe DJ has done his part.�

Cormier also believes the UFC needs to work on devising new ways to market African-American stars, while acknowledging that Johnson, who has a big following in the gaming community, often defies categorization.

�Honestly as an African-American, you have to market people differently,� Cormier said. �There is a different demographic and I don�t know if DJ really fits neatly into any certain one. Because just his family and everything, everything combined, you gotta get tricky marketing these small guys, especially an African-American guy. So the UFC doesn�t really know how to do that yet with him.

�But, you have to have �it,� Cormier continued. �Ronda Rousey�happened organically. It just has to connect. It hasn�t connected for DJ, UFC has to take responsibility because they don�t know how to market him properly yet.�

DC is such a smart dude. If the UFC ever lets him drift away or retire into anything that isn't a tv/pr/behind the scenes role then they're even more stupid than they seem.

If you have fightpass pull up the fight. It cuts to his corner right after the end of round one and his corner has to convince him to answer the bell.

This "tiny punchmen don't sell fights" thing is kind of weird to me. Isn't Mayweather the biggest seller of all time? It's my understanding the guy is 15 pounds heavier than DJ. 15 Pounds is nothing.

Conor is the biggest draw the UFC has ever had, surely 20 pounds doesn't change the public perception that much.

It's not about weight, or else like you said, Mayweather and Pac wouldn't be so insanely popular. Neither would Ronda. She's a girl right? All the JUST BLEED people probably think they can beat her in one punch but she' got insanely popular

Chris Leben quit against Uriah Hall on the stool, but he received a punch to the face that broke his soul.

There's also been a couple of guys that quit between rounds on TUF just from being too tired.
