Brendan Schaub summed up the lack of big stars in the UFC organization. The American criticized Magomed Ankalaev and other fighters for not selling PPVs.
Brendan Schaub is another former UFC fighter who has decided to criticize the current state of the organization. Recently, Nate Diaz spoke about what’s going on in the UFC, and now it’s time for the perspective of a fighter from a decidedly higher weight class.
The retired American commented on the situation in the UFC on The Fighter and the Kid podcast, which he co-hosts with Bryan Callen. Brendan Schaub says the organization has a very big problem, as there is a lack of fighters to tear the crowd up from their seats and sell huge amounts of pay-per-views.
– The UFC has a big problem. Name me some big stars. Ankalaev? How many PPVs will he sell? Two, bought out by: his mother and his uncle. Who else? Who do we have? Alexandre Pantoja, the weight of the must-haves? They all don’t give a damn. Rooster weight? That is, who? Merab Dvalishvili…. no, that’s not going to happen. Maybe at middleweight Dricus Du Plessis has a chance.
Brendan Schaub has finally named which fighter is the biggest star of the UFC organization in terms of athleticism. No big surprise, as the American named Islam Makhachev, the current UFC lightweight champion.
– Islam Makhachev is now arguably their biggest star. Pereira is still the biggest in terms of pay-per-view sales, but Makhachev is now the sport’s biggest star. And he is an exciting fighter. The only guy from Dagestan who gives exciting fights.
