^^ I agree with everything you said except for the not a needle mover comment. Artem Lobov is a UFC headliner these days. LOL.

Depends how you define needle mover of course. By one measure only Conor, GSP, and Ronda are/were. I do not find that a very meaningful definition. How many people are making more than Khabib's $500,000 flat guarantee that he was set to get? Not many, so the UFC must consider him to be something.

I think we tend to underrate the international appeal of some of these guys. Khabib could potentially be the key to opening up an entire market for them.
