1 guy shared ur view and one shared mine :mj07: :mj07:

I think that I was the one guy you are talking about for both of you.:142smilie

I thnk everyone can agree Hendo is very attractive as a fighter for hardcore mma fans because they don't have to be introduced to him.

Hell you can say that almost every Pride now US Organization fighter has to be introduced to the non hardcore fans.
Strikeforce and CBS are having a hard time marketing Fedor because common fans have only heard of him and not seen him and he doesn't speak english.
I would say Henderson and Mousasi are only common to hardcore fans.
My buddy likes movies and mma and he knew who Bob Sapp was from movies but had no clue he was a fighter.
Some would argue he is not.:142smilie

Weasel said the same thing. You guys talk about only hardcore fans know him. well who are all these other fighters that the common fan knows about? I can think of only one and it is Lesner or maybe Kimbo. that is it. A Silva is not known by common people and neither is Machida or BJ. Lets move on now i won this battle. Hendo has been on the top of the card a lot of times in his career. There is no way at this moment that people would rather see Tito before Hendo.

I think the common fan clearly knows the Randy,Tito,and Chucks of the mma world along with some others.
Like I said most of the Pride carry overs are unknowns to the common fan.
I think Machida is much more common than you think since he is fairly new on the big new to all and he is the title holder.
Maybe that is just me but that is what I think of the common fan.
If I asked the common fan if they wanted some Aoki then they would probably say "Does that come with butter?".

Shinya Aoki May Be Headed to Strikeforce in 2010 But He Won't Be Wearing His Pants

Great signing for Strikeforce.

Lasley brings in the common fan from the WWE. I think some of the biggest buzz in a long time in the UFC was Brock. Lashley is not anywhere near the draw of Brock but it really gives Strikeforce and CBS a guy to sell to the common folk.
I think Lashley has a serious future in the sport as well although he is still very raw.

Ohio but not a Buckeye
He can't just cut the guy he always has to insult them. That fight was boring but no way like the Starnes fight. One of these days one of these fighters are gonna shut that big fat mouth of his.

and this is going to happen how?

just when we finally agree on something, everything goes back to normal...
