EmmyOk posted:The only thing worse than "bland or boring fighters" are fighters who are trying to ape people like Conor and Chael when they have no charisma or personality. The only thing I think more fighters should do is have an opponent in mind for the post fight interview rather than "I'll fight anyone".

Yeah, I'm not going to give the UFC the benefit of the doubt when they keep signing and promoting the hell out of unknown fighters plucked from the B-leagues mostly because they look pretty. For the longest time those idiots kept insisting the Diaz brothers weren't a draw even when they were getting some of the loudest pops from the crowd every time their face was projected. If the UFC tried, really tried, like ever to heavily promote DJ and it led to horrible PPV sales, then fine maybe they'd have a point that flyweights can't be sold.

As far as promotion, the one thing that sticks out from that statement is Sean Shelby saying they could not promote Cody vs DJ. That seems crazy to me. The guy who just schooled Dominick Cruz vs the P4P #1 is an unsellable fight?

The solution is that Tim Elliot should move up to 135 and fight TJ. Then the UFC can keep ignoring flyweight and putting it on prelims so nobody knows the names of DJs opponents.

The thing is, you don't have to promote DJ. Just give the mic to the other people, put them on main cards, etc. Those that stand out are gonna fight him and sell it.

I understand Mighty Mouse's Instagram is not as cool or full of pictures of people I'd like to gently caress as other fighters, and in this modern world we live in that means he is not promoting himself to the fullest extent of his abilities, but that doesn't change the fact that the UFC themselves have done virtually nothing to promote him or other flyweights.
