UFC fame tier

Not being Murican so I don't know where CM Punk ranks but he must be pretty famous
James Toney too
 
Brock
Conner
Rhonda

Silva
GSP
Khabib
Chuck
Tito
Holly
Kimbo
Shamrock

Everyone else

Top 3 are the only household names in mma history. The rest are names that all casuals, and a small percent of non-fans, know about. Nobody outside of actual fans knows who Ngannou, Porier, Diaz(either), etc are.

Yeah i agree on Kimbo. Not so much about Tito. And everyone knows Diaz, Poirier because of Conor. Ngannou is about to fight Tyson fury, that’s the next conor floyd

Dustin knocked out Conor and broke his leg. He’s one of the only fighters that regular people know or heard about

That's irrelevant. Chuck is known by non MMA fans. He's been in somewhat mainstream movies and TV shows.

A lot of people who don't know much or anything about MMA know who Chuck Liddell is. Nobody outside of the MMA bubble knows Poirier.

Even within the confines of MMA. Chuck was the literal face of the UFC in the mid 2000s. Poirier has never been more than a big name on the roster.

Diaz is A tier

Poirier is a tier under Spider, Izzy, Nganou
Spider was the highest paid guy during his reign. Ppreir is somewhat close to Nganou but under Izyy. Rampage above Jones ? OK I'm done

Bro i know how famous Chuck is. He’s way more famous than Jon Jones but he’s not as famous as Dustin Poirier. Everyone in my flight school was talking about Dustin. Those people are clueless about mma

Haha okay bro. Your flight school is clearly the parameter with which fame is measured by. Not having roles in multiple mainstream movies.

I think you're severely underestimating Silva and Chuck

It's clear he wasn't watching when Chuck was around. If UFC came up at that time most people would say oh Chuck Liddell?

Chuck played himself in the Simpsons.

You know you've hit the big-time when you cameo as yourself in the Simpsons.

Very clear who started watching MMA in the last half decade or so.
