And these marks don't get it. MMA is just as much a business as it is a sport. If you think Dana would go with another generic frat bro with generic tribal tattoos who you can't tell from the last one instead of a guy with an interesting story who will likely net you a swimming pool full of money, you're a mark and a fool.

I also promise you that these folks said precisely dick about Kimbo Slice's run in UFC. But Jones is on to something. A Justin Bieber fight would be the highest grossing event in MMA history.
It isn't like the guy came in and said he was going to rule the MMA world. He trained. He lost. Have to start somewhere. To even step into the octagon with someone who has been doing this forever is something admirable. Yeah, he's 0-1 in UFC. Guess what *my* record is? 0-0. Because I ain't doing it.

Funniest thing of all this? Exactly none of the naysayers mentioned dick about Mickey, proving how much of a draw Punk was. Gall called his spot, he got some shine, and also got a "high profile" win, and got paid for it... but the conversation is all about "let's laugh/not laugh" at CM Punk.

Meanwhile, Dana backs up that Brinks truck to the new bay door he had installed at his financial institution for just such an occasion.
