So does Rogan just wear the same black shirt and black pants for every PPV or does he have a closet full of them like Superman?

o'malley is an arrogant unproven youngster, he's easy to hate. no humble in that lad. I dont really mind him but I get it

He’s actually relatively self deprecating but he’s def hatable.

Excited to see him style on this jobber, though.

So Greg Hardy is done right? We're not going to see him in a fight like that anymore on PPV?

Dana will have him crush cans in fight nights and prelims for a while, but no they’re probably not done with him.

Either Dana doesn't look at any available metrics for fighter popularity, or he does and Hardy (and Paige, Sage, O'Malley, etc.) are much bigger draws than we think.

I think you’re confusing being a draw with being popular or liked among MMA fans.

The UFC is a small potatoes sport with maybe 10 fighters who draw any sort of casual fan, and Dana’s desperate to do anything that will expand the viewer base. People like Hardy, Sage, and Paige are sideshows, but they got their pushes in MMA because they had some basic notoriety outside of the standard low to mid card fighter.

O’Malley is totally Dana trying to be Vince McMahon and creating a brand based on what he sees as a guy who could be big, but tbf I’ve been a fan since he cut this promo https://youtu.be/mqVgeUN10ms

I'm not confused about the distinction, but I'm genuinely not sure what sure what kinda volumes Greg Hardy draws in, versus say, Nate Diaz.
The consensus here is that is Nate popular enough with MMA fans that he can broadly get PPV buys. It seems obvious he's selling more than Hardy, but who knows.

I don’t think they’re done with Hardy but he’s probably not much of a draw anymore. I’m sure he generated some interest initially just because of the curiosity factor. If he was able to become an elite fighter he probably would have generated some views, but getting KO’d by Tai was probably the beginning of the end for him. I assume they’ll let him crush some more cans to see if it goes anywhere because it’s relatively low risk.
