I just think that casual fans are fickle in that they only want the monster. You all sound like dedicated fans that actually appreciate the sport rather than the spectacle, so you'll watch for the matchups, not the crossover story.
Lesnar didn't really have any crossover appeal after he lost. Same with Slice. I think it will be interesting to see what happens to Rousey's marketability after this, though.

That's not true concerning Lesnar. He lost his first UFC fight, and was still by far their biggest earner during his tenure, I believe.
