Actually, I don't agree with that. I think GSP blew all of his marketability when he went on his "I love Amercian!" rant after beating BJ Penn at the America vs Canada PPV. He doesn't speak perfect English, which the Vegas crowds seem to look down on. Plus, he isn't your typical bad ass looking fighter. He actually looks pretty innocent, with a lot of punch appeal (Which I'm sure got people killed in high school)
Not that this matters, I just thought I would say that I believe Hughes actually does have more marketability, which is why Dana White is in love with him. Dana, not being the scam everyone thinks he is, won't pull back on making this fight happen despite all of that however.
Also, Big props to Boone, I have to agree with the Submission rant. That former comment is people once again forgetting that any certain style is not going to matter in an MMA fight... It's like people forget these things and go back to day 1 of MMA school.
