Heres a simple question - why did we know Paige and Sage? They were both attractive yes but it certainly wasn't their talent that made them known in our spheres and they aren't the only attractive fighters (if it was that Alan Jouban would be huge). To think they have had no pushing or advertising and they got themselves over by just a youtube Dana video is idiotic at best and outright cognitive denial at worst.

Boy I don't know why DJ wouldn't want to fight someone in a title fight where they've never fought before and with questions about if they can even make the weight.

It's clear as day they want TJ v DJ so they can book Cody v TJ as champion v champion with a belief that Cody can be a future Conor. They don't care who has the belts, they just want the storylines. This is fine in some ways (i.e. Bisping v Hendo) but less so when you're loving over several divisions for one potentiality.

Memento posted:The quality of Cody's poo poo-talking should have convinced them long ago that this is never going to happen Their tabulation of pushing fighters as the Next Big Thing is 1. Young 2. White C. Attractive Being intelligent or actually good are additional bonuses. This however does not actually mean who will be a supterstar, just who they push to be one. There is a reason this also keeps failing. Never forget for with his contemporaries up until Chael, Anderson was their lowest drawing champion (LHW was marquee, welterweight had GSP, lightweight had BJ Penn and heavyweight was Randy/Brock). All of them were pushed more than him until someone else promoted him upwards.

NObodyNOWHERE posted:I love MM and agree with him in principle on most levels. I also think Dana White is frequently lovely to fighters. But I just can't make myself expend the energy to argue against TJ as the next title defense when it is an objectively better fight on every level and is highly likely to give MM the biggest payday of his career. I mean, nobody likes to get their chain jerked around, but jesus dude that seems like a goofy hill to die on. "You're fighting Ray Borg" "I want to fight Cody for the belt" "YOU'RE FIGHTING RAY BORG THAT'S THE FIGHT BECAUSE YOU DON'T MAKE MONEY" "Jesus fine" "Scratch that you're fighting TJ for your belt at 125 because money" "Why can't I fight Cody at 135?" "BECAUSE MONEY GOD" It's not that much of a hill, this is a guy at the end of his rope and after being jerked around so much has decided to die on this hill because they put him on the hill when he wanted a money fight, and now are mad that the hill they put him they don't want for hypocritical reasons.

It takes two to tango and the vast bast majority of Mouse opponents go from prelims to main events against him. There's no attempt to make flyweight main event number one contender fights even though they are rich in talent because Mouse is prime Anderson making everyone below him look a jobber. He isn't given analyst spots, he isn't pushed as a person, he was a company man through and through until now and he's sick of being bottom of the totem pole because he is so loving good. If this leads to a sort of anti-authority charactisation for him it might make him a name by accident as an outspoken revolutionary for fighters rights.

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.”

Is Demian Maia the first fighter to fight their way up to a title shot in two different divisions, unlike the usual "was a contender/champ at the other weight so lets fast lane them to the title"?

Ronaldo Souza doesn't think it was that good of a idea to take on rising prospect Robert Whittaker two months after he defeated Tim Boetsch by submission. As the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt shared with Combate, Jacare feels he should've taken a longer break, but ultimately has nobody to blame but himself for the loss that drove him away from a title shot. Brazilian MMA fighter blames... himself?

Also god damnit MM didn't want to fight Ray Borg, he wanted to fight Sergio Pettis which buywise would've made a slight difference but UFC said no you're fighting Borg and as a company man he said fine They were jerking him around and he put his foot down as the poo poo continued.
