We constantly hear discussion of Ronda Rousey or Jon Jones being the UFC’s biggest pay-per-view draw. But who really has the correct answer? With Brock Lesnar and Georges St-Pierre—easily the UFC’s highest-selling stars of the past decade—out of the spotlight, a void has been left for Rousey, Jones and others to step in and stake […]

Quick, name the only UFC champion that hasn’t headlined a pay-per-view. If you said Demetrious Johnson, congratulations. The headline may have been a strong hint, but you got it. It’s true.
