1st AD posted:all of DJ's opponents are worse at promotion than he is Who are they supposed to reach on the Fight Pass prelims? How is it their fault the entire division is consistently buried on prelims? How does the UFC benefit from making GBS threads on their best champion?

^^^ Everybody loves wolf tickets.Skip My Posts posted:good way to raise your profile would be to beat up and finish a recent champion of a heavier weight class who lost his belt in a very close decision who was about to fight for that title again and has been destroying contenders in the mean time Maybe the promoter should help out with raising his profile by, like, promoting him.

Dr. Abysmal posted:Yeah, I am, because the record is for most title defenses, and the title wouldn't be on the line. Nobody is going to give a poo poo about the record anyway, because nobody gives a poo poo about Mighty Mouse, and it's a moot point because he's not going to fight TJ whether or not TJ could make flyweight. No fighter has ever been poo poo on because of a recent defeat, my bad.

Veskit posted:I've been following it enough but i severely doubt that there's a written minimum that you are allowed to get points on a PPV fight during the negotiations of the fight itself. There's a difference between you get no points on the fight, and you'll start accruing points when you hit this amount of buys. If you think about it that's not even enforceable Look how dumb this is.

Belgian Waffle posted:I think there's a lot of issues behind this. His size will always be a detriment because the average viewer is going to look at him and think that they could take him in a fight... so, subconsciously, people just won't take him seriously because they don't register him as threatening. And to be fair, he looks ridiculous when wearing a suit and he really needs to stop doing that. He rarely wears suits and that is a dumb poo poo complaint in the first place. He also talks mad poo poo and is catty with his opponents but since the UFC doesn't promote him people like you come in and say he's too quiet and doesn't attract enough attention. The rest of your post is also stupid but I don't have time to get into it. Tezcatlipoca fucked around with this message at 14:14 on Jun 8, 2017 |

Belgian Waffle posted:I also believe that the UFC is right to think that DJ is hard to market for a variety of reasons. This doesn't shift the onus on promoting DJ's fights over to DJ... but he could be more proactive about it if he wanted. They haven't tried to promote him nor his division so that is circular reasoning. DJ is currently promoting himself by publicly airing his grievances.

Most dudes would have been finished right but Aldo kept moving. Every other time has been when he's tired and already winning.
