He's not an easy guy to market. Can't push him as a KO artist, pushing him as a 5 Round Machine doesn't really help his cause, he doesn't have the personality to push the charisma angle. And he's 5'3, which isn't helping a thing. I honestly have no idea how I'd market him either, other then saying he's one of the best in the world and hope for the best, which is basically what they've done this far. He can't even draw on free TV half the time, so I'm really at a loss on how to push the guy. And I like DJ There's nothing to market. The guy only trains and plays video games. They put him on Conan or Jimmy Kimmel and it gets uncomfortable. Maybe it's a size thing too, Cain is the most boring human being ever but he's bigger and popular. Mighty Mouse should be more aggressive into trying to get fans to buy his fights. He shouldn't call them morons or say that they should buy wwe ppvs if they think he's boring.
I would buy ppv's to see that guy get his ass kicked............why isn't he doing this? ??

He clowned Dodson in the interview saying he was making the division stagnant but look at my face "I'm still prettier than a M'F". I laughed at that. He has the personality it seems but we don't get enough of it.

My DraftKings lineup for tonight is Demetrius Johnson, Anthony Johnson, Andrei Arlovski, Ross Pearson, and Raquel Pennington Spent $34 on entries and ended up with $70.17. Doubled my money on last night's card. Not bad but I'm not going to be in any DraftKings commercials any time soon, hahaha

It begins... Quote from Johnson some point after last night: "The fans are fans. They're just fxxxing idiots."

Hope the guy enjoys being the least watched champion of all time. He can't draw flies to a shit factory. Maybe cast him in a Sin City remake as the yellow bastard, his head is already shaped like that.

This is a case of fans wanting flashy from him but his technique is so spot on, why change it up. His been humble before if nobody appreciates your work then start telling everyone to kiss your ass and now they will pay to watch your ass get kicked

He doesn't have heel heat, he has please go away heat.

Ya, he's spent the last 6 months or so just trashing the fans for not liking him, so if last nights card didn't draw I don't think this guy will ever draw. He's talented as all f***, but people just aren't interested in him at all

I don't see anybody in that division knocking him off anytime soon. As i've said before it's a shame he doesn't get the recognition as a fighting champion he deserves. If you(mighty mouse) can talk shit and you can back it up than I say more power to you.

As stated before Cain is much more boring than him but because he's bigger and have knocked people out, he gets the recognition, same for Spider and GSP costing through their title fights after a while. He just doesn't have that "extra" factor that those guys have.

Also the UFC doesn't give him tv specials, or profile pieces.

Outside of Rousey, Americans don't rally behind their own unless you have this feel good touching story or your "breaking new ground"(first openly gay athlete etc....). The easiest rallying cry is to have your country behind you. Wasn't Cain born in America? I think Werdum joked about him actually speaking being able to communicate better with the people in Mexico City than Cain can after their last fight.

Yeah Werdum actually speaks better Spanish than Cain. The thing with the United States is that in my opinion every state has it's own ideology and personality, like mini countries. For example, I think that a fighter from Boston would get booed in New York.

At the heart of it, within in the United States we cheer for the team sports and it's hard for some to get a name for themselves in a singles sport. You don't get people everyday like Mayweather, Serena, or Tiger who can control their sports the way they did or in Tiger case had did.

I love watching mighty mouse fights. He is the perfect fighter. So much talent. He could be a 2 weight division champion if he chose to go against dillashaw.
He broke down dodson and just outworked him.
Cejudo will be an interesting challenger
He's fast. He does everything right as a fighter.
What he needs is a hype man. Joe Rogan puts him over so much.
I love watching his fights.
