Do you think that 226 will sell ?

[wolfss]

For me, as a foreigner, it's fascinating how americans buy something just because a name is there (Conor, Brock, GSP, Roussey)

In 2017, there were 2 cards who sold big
- DC vs Jones
- GSP vs Bisping

And both were good cards, no doubt about it. But they sold because of GSP and because of Jones (more exactly, the Jones - DC feud)

Aldo vs Max 2 was also a good card, but it sold like shit.

Conor vs Nate 2 was not such a good they. It had Rumble and Cowboy and that's it. But it sold great.

And 225 was a great card:
- the best strikes in the MW division - championship fight
- Colby (hated) vs RDA (interesting fighting style) - interim
- 2 HW fights with Reem (veteran) and Tuivasa (brawler)
- Bektic vs Lamas
- even fucking CM Punk who should be popular, I don't know why

And it sold like shit

And now you have 226 with:
- Stipe vs DC - 2 champions -ok, it will probably be a boring fight
- Ortega vs Max - championship - Ortega should be a rising star, wtf
- black on black crime
- Saki
- Costa
- Platinum

And it will probably sell like shit

People need stars.

Go watch the Kardashian’s, they are stars and are very popular! Faking homos!

If the numbers being tossed for 225 are accurate. About the same.

Two guys that aren't really draws in the main event? Nah, probably not. One of these days the ufc will figure out that casuals don't give two fucks about a fight simply because it's a title fight. Hopefully when they have that epiphany they'll stop making a new interim belt every week too.

Your level of reading is through the roof.

Same when you tried to quote @superpunch.

Nobody said it wasn't a good card!
