Never really seen it tested. Good luck getting inside, though.

They are fighting each other in December but I would have given it to Hendo or Shogun another shot before Machida. But like I said, that fight is already scheduled.

I really want to see him fight Anderson Silva. That fight has to be coming some time next year you would think.

Not fight for the 4th time this year and let the Shogun/Hendo match play out?

I don't see Anderson taking that fight at age 38.

*still talking TUF*

all of those guys are annoying, immature, and stupid. the trash talking (coachs and fighters) is weak and looks forced. I'm glad the midget cowboy is out and hoping swedish asshat is next. i thought mayhem would be better than this but it looks scripted and fake. not liking this season so far. give me one damn fighter to get behind (no homo)

I don't know the numbers, but I'd think AS is right there at the top. He has held the belt the longest, is the greatest UFC fighter of all-time, easily one of the most exciting fighters in the world.....only drawback for some is he doesn't speak English very well (dumb reason not to like him/buy his fights). Can't think of anyone who would outsell him currently. Brock probably does but he sucks. GSP might, but he's boring. I'm drawing a blank.....

If you knew the numbers, Anderson doesn't typically sell a fight alone like Lesnar, GSP or the old Chuck/Randy/Tito guard.

that's why I'm asking and stated,

and currently (besides Lesnar/GSP who I already mentioned), I can't think of anybody who would outsell him. Cain will be a huge draw one day if he keeps winning and all the Mexican/Brown Pride boxing fans get behind him. JJ is probably getting close now. Maybe Shogun? Hendo? BJ is old and washed up....too many dud fights. Aldo isn't as popular as he should be.

Per your point though, Anderson would be considered a draw even if he drew 1,000 buys, as long as it was more than other guys.

I know you didn't know the numbers, and simply said that if you looked them up, that is what you'd see.
