Totally agree that there needs to be more fighters who can use their personalities to cross over into the mainstream - I do think PPV holds some of this back, there's such a fun cast of characters right now that people don't generally know of because the average joe isn't going to pay $50 for one event.
Good article, Jake. Certainly some good fights on the horizon. Gervonta vs. Garcia is a cracker, can't see it going the distance. Plant-Benavidez, Haney-Loma, Lopez-Taylor. Shaping up to be a decent year so far.
