Do you believe chuck has more appeal than randy ? Crazy.

I do. I think within the MMA community Randy has more appeal, but Chuck has made the UFC "holywood". I'm gonna argue whether that is good or bad, but it certainly has made the UFC (MMA in general) more popular. If you went out and asked 100 random people if they knew what the UFC was, and if they said yes, asked them to name a fighter, Chuck Liddell would be the #1 answer by far. The boom that the UFC is riding right now, coincides with Chuck's rise to to the top. Maybe it's a coincidence, but probably not.
 
I think he is a legend too, no doubt. I love watching the guy fight. But I think that Chuck is "worth" more money, per fight than Randy because he is a bigger draw. Although we'll see what happens afters the Wandy fight.
 
Dana said something during the press conference saying the Randy's fights had a lower draw on the ppv's than other fighters. He wins, but not in exciting fashion like Liddell or Hughes.
 
I'm disappointed with Chuck in the last two fights. He has become almost one or two dimensional. If he hits you, you will be out. If you try to take him down, he's going to stuff it. Both Rampage and Jardine took advantage of these.

Rampage was an expected loss because as much as there was hype that he wasn't taking the fight lightly, he did and he was proven wrong that he just got caught. Like it was a fluke or something.

He completely underestimated Jardine and Jardine had his number and never let up on the leg kicks.

If Wandy attacks Chuck's legs like that, it's all over because Wandy will never let Chuck close enough to give him the chance for the ko.
 
Chuck is a poster boy for the UFC. Amongst casual fans he is FAR more popular than Randy, hence why he gets paid more.

He probably shouldn't, no, but that's how it works.

Why do you think Oscar gets significantly more than any other fighter in any combat sport? I'll give you a clue, it's not because he's the best P4P fighter in the world ;)
