In an attempt to determine the most lucrative Pay-Per-View (PPV) attraction among three of the most notable fighters in the UFC, fans were tasked with selecting the most popular draw from a pool consisting of Colby Covington, Dustin Poirier, and Justin Gaethje.

The ardent followers of the sport were given the responsibility to assess the drawing power of each fighter and determine which of the three possessed the ability to generate the most revenue in terms of PPV sales. The social media post aimed to gage the popularity of each fighter and their ability to generate interest and excitement among the fans. Nonetheless, reactions varied.

Take a look at some of the social media reactions below:

Twitter user @ReecesEra remarked:

"Hate it or not. It’s Colby. Dustin is too soft and Justin is boring."

Another user @DevanHoffer sided with former UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier:

"Po[i]rier. Easily."

@AngryDavyJones ranked the three fighters and stated:

"1. Colby 2. Justin 3. Dustin."

Twitter user @TrigwellMatt remarked:

"Dustin Poirier, he brings it everytime."

@giotorra reacted:

@TooReal53's opinion deffered from everyone else:

"None of them."

Another user @InkbyDennis picked Justin Gaethje and stated:

"Gaethje I think is prolly the bigger draw. And fans actually like him and not just watching to see him lose like Colby."

Social media user @BlackmanJakobe thinks that 'The Chaos' is the biggest draw among the three in UFC:

"Colby is but it’s only cause dustin and justin don’t really make headlines outside of the octagon.

@StormFalcon657 has a different take:

"If we’re talking about this picture probably Colby. The rest of the UFC I would say either Conor or Jones.."

@intangible4mat remarked:

"I can’t call it cause I genuinely don’t believe the people Colby appeals to buy anything lol."

@ProfessorGutz stated:

"I mean Dustin broke a million buys twice. Yeah it was with Conor but this Colby is a draw thing?! His PPV numbers don’t show it."
