Drawing power is a major point of success in today’s combat-sports landscape. The Floyd Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao fight proves just how important stars are at this point in time. With that in mind, the Ultimate Fighting Championship continues to work to build their roster big names. Ronda Rousey and Conor McGregor are two of the front-runners in that race. However, Rousey should be considered their most important star at this time.
The most important point to recognize is that the UFC needs as many headline-grabbers as possible. The more individuals on their payroll who can capture the attention of both the sports world and mainstream public are worth every penny.
