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. 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
