Sorry but there's just no proof of [b]anything[/b] you're saying there.  Nate's numbers as a headliner don't back it up.  And there's simply no data on Holm to prove she's a major draw either.  Her and Rousey headlined a 1.1m buy event, but Rousey also got 900k buys with Bethe guddam Correia as her opponent, in a fight that was poorly timed for US audiences... so let's not go pretending anyone other than Rousey was doing the promotional heavy lifting in either case.  I'd give credit to Jedrzejczyk for contributing to those sales before Holm.

And numbers aside, saying that casuals want to watch a Holm fight is saying that casuals want to watch a technical outfighter who's polite to a fault, doesn't do much of anything to promote her fights and is very likely to go to a "boring" decision.  The Demetrious Johnsons of the world will tell you that's exactly what casual followers of the sport [b]don't[/b] want to see.

Anywho, onto different news: both Kimbo AND Shamrock failed their drug tests from Bellator 149!

But because LOL Texas commission they'll probably only be suspended a maximum of 90 days or something.
