LAS VEGAS — Jamie Yager knows that when he walks into the Pearl at the Palms to make his official UFC debut on Saturday night, he’ll be facing a crowd in the arena and an audience at home that has largely already made up its mind about him.
What bothers him is that, at least the way he sees it, they don’t know the guy they’re judging quite as well as they think they do.
“America thinks they know who you are based on a really small sample,” Yager said. “We filmed 12 weeks, 24 hours a day, and they showed 12 hours. Not even 12 hours [with commercials]. 44 minutes every week.”
