[Wild]

With Conor McGregor’s absence and uncertainty about his next fight date, there seems to be a current lack of superstars that will banner the UFC. But company president Dana White has one name in mind to take on that role.

“Our most bankable (future) star?” White said on Friday’s episode of the Dan Le Batard Show on ESPN (via MMA Fighting), “November 4 at Madison Square Garden, this kid who’s the world champion, he’s gonna fight.

I hope tj tunes him up

 

[jason73]

[SuperPig]

[BrunoMcGyver]

Nah he's too small

Lesnar or bust baby! Just bleeeed!!!!

 

[Gay For Longo]

As long as Cody never has to speak he could be marketable.

That's the problem
I'm a fan of his but he's horrible on the mic
UFC needs to get old school managers from wwf

 

[Robbie Hart]

[The Big Guy]

Jimmy Hart with the megaphone screaming at ngannou to kill reem is what came to mind

 

[RaginCajun]

Nothing says marketable like a neck tat.

Nothing says marketable like a neck tat.

I guess Sage is no longer the bald fuckers boy.

i think Cody has a chance of actually winning fights against top guys, but i like the parallel
