10 Biggest MMA Stars That Barely Promoted Themselves

Join our channel to get access to perks:
/ @mmaonpoint
A lot of fighters find creative ways to promote themselves, whether it's the McGregor's, Chael's or Colby's of the MMA world, trash talk is often the route fighters take. Other times it's just by being funny or unhinged and doing a lot of media. In these cases though, good luck getting these fighters to sign up for all that.

Stipe does so little press that they forgot to put him on the list

[@AndrewJW]

I think because he did the Modelo commercials he was disqualified from the list. Like they explained in the beginning of the video

[@raymondfijas1282]

He had like 4 commercials

[@letterkeys4440]

The stockton slap was one of the greatest promotions lol

[@hernanperez6550]

for real the Diaz's always put on a show that's the best sort of promotion.

It could also be the language barrier. To many fans, Ilia seems stoic and a man of few words. To the point and precise. But Spanish speakers have described his speaking cadence and choice of words to that one a young McGregor, someone who has witty trash talk. So when someone is speaking in their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th language, their personality cant really shine.

Well, I love me some Miocic, but I wouldn't exactly call him a "10 top big MMA star"... had they listed a few honorable mentions, then yes he would have probably been given a shout out, but IMO, everyone on this list is indeed a bigger star than "Lil' Big Cro Cop 2.0" (not being a native English speaker, it was a nightmare to try to understand what he is saying, and from what I've gathered even some native speakers have trouble understand him, which doesn't really help)

It is interesting how Nate had Nick and his career to look to to help see dos and donts and learn from. Nate kinda learned to enjoy media and spotlight in his own way somehow and spin it to help succeed, see the positives in it and still be himself and not compromise or focus on anything but fighting and "putting on a good show."

The Robbie Lawler interview where he said "im not just taking his neck..... Im taking his soul" is some of the coldest stuff ever. He ment that. And he was talking about a possible fight with Connor McGregor.

[@PaulsPickles]

Rory and Robbie are the best examples of fighters who don't fight for the fame or money but rather because this is their lives. Their 2nd fight together is arguably one of the best fights that have ever been recorded.

To understand the Crocop/Vanderlei staredown, you have to understand the wake of destruction Vanderlei had behind him at the time, he was crushing everyone in devastating fashion, and Crocop didn't care about any of that, got in Vanderlei's face and let him know this wasn't gonna be a walk in the park...
