Video: The UFC needs a Star | read this item

I got no pic for this vid, look at this one

Here is a video from On the Mark which challenges the UFC and Dana White to produce a “Cross over star” that both MMA fans and casual American fans will recognize and pay to see.

Copy and reply quote 1: “Then there’s Chuck Liddell, just as he was poised to really cross over…he developed a really big habit of getting his ass kicked.:

C&R Quote 2: “Fedor Emelianenko might be the best big man around, but he’s Russian and he doesn’t even fight for the UFC.”

I’m glad he slipped in the fact that before Dana was a bad ass ceo he was an aerobics. BTW, becuz of Dana’s personality there will never be a crossover star in the UFC.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR MIR!!!!!!!!

  @Fujita, That doesn’t make a bit of sense. A crossover star has everything to do with charisma and nothing whatsoever to do with who is the CEO. It seem’s that your hatred of a person conflicts with your ability to make a unbiased post when he is part of the subject.

    @jetray, Well, then there is no one of charisma in the UFC then. The only guy who could possibly fit that bill would be Kimbo, but Dana put him on the back burner to simmer instead of on the front to boil. JMO

Sorry for being abrupt Jetray, it’s just that Dana isn’t the kind of guy who isn’t gonna help a fighter get there unless he feels that he can squeeze every drop of blood out of him like he did to Tito. & now that Tito is gone, Tito is finally being honest.
