MMA Junkie<\/a>, UFC analyst Alan Jouban admitted that a Prochazka title win could present some marketing issues.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s a tough sell,\u201d Jouban said of Prochazka.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe love him. And we\u2019re always going to watch his fights. You can always put him in a main event. But is he the best in the world when he\u2019s obviously lost to the best guy in the world numerous times? It\u2019s a tough sell.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jouban went on to admit that an Ulberg title win at UFC 328 would produce a slightly different outcome.<\/p>\n
\u201cUlberg, as good as he is, and as good looking as he is, and all the ladies love him \u2013 he\u2019s the hot guy in the UFC right now. He puts me to shame,\u201d Jouban said of Ulberg vs. Prochazka.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut he doesn\u2019t carry the name value for me right now yet. He doesn\u2019t. And when you look at that last fight that he had, and you look at the press, the build-up, the lead-up with him vs. Dominick Reyes, it was crickets. There was nothing happening.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was one of the worst \u2013 and I say this respectfully \u2013 it was one of the worst promotions we\u2019ve seen by two fighters,\u201d Jouban continued. \u201cIt was crickets. They couldn\u2019t say anything exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n
