He's not a superstar. You won't ever see him headlining a UFC PPV unless he's fighting a superstar. He is a good main event or co-main event for Fight Nights tho

What do you believe he should be getting paid? He's making more currently than Khabib was making up until the point Khabib got the belt and I don't hear Khabib whining about money. He's made over 100k in each of his fights since Conor. It's not like they're paying him crumbs.


You don't know anything dude lmao

He’s not Conor McGregor,

But a long time vet, Champion in Bellator and UFC, both professional MMA orginzations, what more do you need to be considered a Superstar? He just wins.


Nathan Diaz is a different story, has always choked in big fights. He’s living off of beating Conor once. Was an awesome victory, but stfu and start winning some more fights.


Sorry to differ, mate. But actually he lived off his brother attitude way before he lived off from beating Conor.

Diaz brother's a brand, a trademark, actually. It is not since 2016 (or whenever the hell he slapped the shit outta Conor), but from long before.
Nate earnt his own respect by his own cocky attitude, with the "0 fucks given" as his allegory. He was different.

I just don’t understand what institutes “an MMA superstar” to you.

How is he any less exciting in the cage than Conor?

I didn't say he isn't entertaining to watch. Superstars are typically your posterboys for the UFC that draw big $$$$, therefor they get paid the big $$$. There have been plenty of fighters that were entertaining to watch but because they weren't good at marketing themselves combined with the UFC not marketing them enough, they were never given the opportunity to be the big star.

Mighty mouse is a great fighter and champion, but he isn't a superstar lol.

I guess I understand what you mean, but I disagree somewhat.

The UFC hype machine is a tool used by the brass to try and build interest. Most recently it was Frank Ngannou getting the “push from the UFC” because he’s a black monster who can literally knock any man out cold with one punch.

Is he a bigger superstar than say Eddie or Stipe because he has marketability? Even though his skills in MMA are less?
