ShanTheMan - Neither does Sage Northcutt

Boom.

Boom?

 

Moose is asking like 10 times what Sage makes.

moose has 50 mma fights all over the world and 8 kickboxing fights, sage will never have that record.

tenchu - Love Gerard, but Dana is correct.

lol, dana is like 5% correct with all the lies he produces

Moose will just keep kicking ass.  He's good like that.   One of my favorite fighters

Nate Diaz isn't a needle mover.

Cowbody Cerrone has never headlined a UFC event.. he's not that guy.. (cut to list of all the stiffs who have including the brazilian dancing girl)

Caught_clean - Then maybe start promoting him and pushing him?
What is there to promote? The guy has zero personality, and its not like hes some world beater or something.
This, plus they don't push Hunt, he has done it by his performances.

He could easily headline cards in Europe, especially Holland, the UFC just arent that fcosued on Europe right now as their TV deals are not great.

Even back in Japan he could be pushed but again UFC have no presence there.

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

And I have 25x the schlong you have. Still we both get paid about 50 bucks in porn auditions unless I bring something else to the table, like 6 pack abs.

 

Hard to make a living as a male pornstar, or as an mma fighter.

 

Who gives a fuck how better he is or not, we are not discussing the rankings we are discussing payouts.

Neither will Ronda yet she makes in 1 fight what Moose makes in 10. Such is the difference between the popular and the unknown.

Sounds like companies that have a bigger presence in those markets need to snatch them then.

 

Unless ZUFFA has problems selling their Holland card in september. Then they'll want him back.

No personality? He was the world champion of Strikeforce and Dream, so yea, he's a world beater, and he's beaten mofos all across the globe. 

 

 

Yes, let's prioritize marketing over performance.

Heaven forbid BLAF "only" make $10 million instead of $12 million for an event. At that rate he'd only make $300 million for the year instead of $350 million. Who can live off of that? Because fuck integrity.

Even if Dana promotes him, he won't bring in the crowds anywhere.

 

You have to have something to actually promote.

What's really fucked up is in the UFC you get penalized for being a respectable, professional athlete, and if that's what you are, regardless of how good you are, your results, or who you beat, you will lose money because of it

and that's also one big reason why belts are worthless and almost always have been

 

But it aint WME, remember, the heavyweight title went to a guy that had 3 fights in his entire career including Ameture (if I remember right), and twice (at least) people had their title belts mailed to them and they were touted as UFC champions before they ever stepped foot into the octagon.

 

this is business as usual

do you even comprehend how many millions UFC spend on promoting Ronda?

if they did that on moose he would be more popular as Ronda.

Who gives a fuck how good he is? Really?

Gegard is right up there in the upper echelon of the world class fighters, and as you will find in the interview clip posted above by Non N00B he has a great personality, very forthcoming, not delusional, intelligent, funny, but somehow this doesn't fit into your six pack analogy?

The UFC can push whoever the fuck they wan with the PR machine, and it would be cool if they started pushing the most skilled fighters in the sport, rather than creating a bunch of fucking loudmouths by telling guys to go out there and make some noise and talk shit to sell their own fights. When guys like McGregor, Sonnen, Ali come along they are great for the sport, and they can take themselves to higher heights, but that doesn't mean you should encourage everybody to try and replicate them or you end up wiith a bunch of goofballs trying to make noise, i.e. Jeremy Stephens.

Also, your analogy makes no sense. If your schlong was 25x larger than the other porn stars, that would be bringing something else to the table. Fuck the six pack abs!

The US is gonna be tough, because our fanbase is mostly a bunch of mouth breathing dirtnecks, and we dont cotton to them thur foreunn fighters and dem thar funny sounding last names.

Gerard Mousasi is the very definition if "world beater" Einstein.

Take a step back...


Mousasi lost to Hall, who he was dominating.
He rematched him, dominated, and finished.
He was ROBBED vs. Jardine.
And robbed vs. King Mo.
He might be the only fighter to demolish his opponent from his back and lose, certainly by today's standards that's a win.
Machida cheated his ass off to pull out that decision.

He has dominated a who's who of current stars and champions.
If all was right on earth, his record would be standing at 44-4-1 at least, with two of those losses being prehistoric, and Jacare being the only clean "legit" loss, and with less rules, Mousasi KO'd him earlier.

Jacare and Mousasi should be jockeying for that title with others dropping in for shots.
Those are the top two Middleweights on earth.

Any lack of personality you perceive is the the failure of the promoters to do their job.

NO ONE wants to fight Mousasi.
Name someone who called HIM out.

Sure buddy, tell yourself that. Nevermind the fact that she was more popular than him already when they were both in Strikeforce...
