I was misunderstanding the term superstar for elite skill level.

Just watching a talk show about the Raptors/Cavs. Even though the Raptors have the better players, they don’t have “a superstar”. And so I googled the definition and it’s a “high profile extremely successful athlete or performer”

Not many MMA athletes are high profile, no matter how much they win. I give.

Lol he didn’t earn my respect I’ll tell you that much.

They are borth crybabies. Best fight was watching Rory rag doll Nate’s bitchass for 3 rounds unmercifully.


Not saying the guy is the best fighter. Reduced skillset but the heart of a warrior. Much respect to me.

Lol. Superstar is relative to the sport/career.

Your superstars of the NBA are typically the top individual players putting up big stats i.e. lebron/Westbrook/curry etc etc. NFL is the same way. MMA superstars are typically at that level from skill but also were good at self promoting and got the hype train behind them with the UFC or w/e promoting them. As I said, your posterboys/faces of the sport. Your music superstars are typically your international stars that are selling out stadiums and pushing ridiculous album sales. Hollywood obv has theres etc etc

You could call Alvarez a veteran but he certainly isn't a superstar. Hence why he's fighting on fight nights and prelims and not headlining ppvs. Although, he couldnt do any worse than nunes

Johny hendricks supposedly in talks with ufc for a new contract fighting back at welterweight.

I think this is a mistake. I dont know what exactly happened to the guy.... If it was USADA or just couldnt set the burgers down or some combination but dude has been a wreck for a while now.

Those weight cuts were brutal on him all ready.
Seriously risking his health to go to welterweight fsr more than just getting beat up by middleweights

Yeah I saw that earlier and got a good laugh. He said he has a new trainer that's got him dieting better iirc. Still don't think he makes 170 again. USADA:1 hendricks:0

I mean, he hasnt had that left hook since USADA so it seems pretty clear to me. He was a lot of fun to watch back in his early years. Had killer wrestling but chose to just put everyone to sleep
