5 Reasons Why Conor McGregor Receiving A UFC Title Shot Makes Sense

4. His Ability To Sell A Fight

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhI0jda8mfY The concept of selling a fight is easier said than done. There have been daily debates on who is capable of doing it and how essential it is in 2014. The ability to stand out on a 500-fighter roster and 48 shows is very hard, when you aren€™t a former champion. McGregor has surpassed that by once again his personality and style. He€™s brought out anger in Diego Brandao and Dustin Poirier like none of there past opponents has done before. You look at his track record and how he sold out The 02 within days. When it came to tracking down UFC 178 countdown shows, his fight with Poirier surpassed the co main event and main event in viewership by a significant portion. People gravitate to him and that€™s rare for a young fighter to accomplish. Legitimate animosity is still pivotal in drawing in newer or casual fans. The coverage that Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier received from their brawl was unbelievable. Luke Thomas talked about how the traffic that his website MMA Fighting received for that brawl surpassed the announcement of Anderson Silva vs. Nick Diaz drastically. McGregor€™s attitude has drawn out anger from Jose Aldo and Chad Mendes in past interviews. This animosity could lead to the biggest buy rate in history for a main event featuring featherweights.
