Around SBN: Ray Allen Fighting Age, Injury And His New Role

What MMA needs to go forward to the next level in this new decade that is approaching.

There has been alot of talk of boring fighters and guys who won't finish fights. What the UFC needs is someone with a great all-around skillset with some serious charisma to go along with it. I look at the UFC roster and i don't see too many guys that fit this profile. Jon Jones has the skills but does he have the charisma to reach the masses? Anthony Pettis might be another one but let me see what he can do with Gray Maynard (yes i think he beats Edgar on January 1st 2011) Anybody out there know any rising stars that meet this criteria? Someone will need to step forward in the UFC if they are to reach the next level of popularity and also become more mainstream(for the casual observer) in the United States. Somebody that everyone wants to watch fight in the Octagon.

Why do canadians stick together? The same reason why Chris Horodecki turned his body and face around in his first WEC fight. SB Nation's public enemy #1.
