When you've got non-fans of your sport talking about you then you're really well known. I don't know really of any non-UFC fans or wrestling fans talking about Chuck Lidell.
oddly enough, Lidell is probably one of the most successful "crossover" MMA names.

MMA fans love to overinflate the importance of the sport in terms of popular culture.
