Since GSP left, and realistically since Brock left, there's been a major void of PPV champions. Nobody is drawing like they did (despite what Dana says about Rousey).
What fighters do you think as having potential to be the next big PPV draw?
Watching Lawler/Hendricks last night was fun, and Johnny has a somewhat charismatic persona, but not sure he could ever become that BIG draw. On the fence with that one.
Most of the current champions have issues. Ronda has a thin division. Mighty Mouse is the most boring personality in MMA history. Cain is dryer than dry. Aldo fights smart/safe and can't speak English. Barao can't speak English. Pettis has the full package, but is oft injured. Leaving Jones and Weidman as the only two high potential draws.
Who else you guys got? Mcgregor?
