“Dan Henderson has been in the game forever. Mark Hunt has an entire country behind him. When we do fights in Australia, he sells out arenas. Gegard Mousasi isn’t selling out arenas,” White said.
 
“That’s why you see guys like Bisping, different fighters from Brazil, Conor McGregor. When you have guys who have countries behind them, it’s a game-changer for them. Not everybody has that luxury.”
 
“Listen, I’m a Gegard fan. I’m the one who who brought Gegard in here. I like the guy very much.”

What is there to promote? The guy has zero personality, and its not like hes some world beater or something.

So you're saying he's selling himself short then? He's about 25 times the fighter that Sage is.
