CONOR MCGREGOR RUMOR ROUND-UP: RUSSIA AND POLAND BIDDING MILLIONS

[hasar]

Conor McGregor being yanked from the UFC 200 fight card appears to have promoters around the world thinking that McGregor’s relationship with the UFC is irreparable.

Despite remaining under contract as the UFC featherweight champion, offers are being thrown McGregor’s direction from Russia and Poland.

According to tweets by Bloody Elbow reporter Karim Zidan, the Russian promotion Fight Nights, which is backed by Dagestani billionaire Ziyavudin Magomedov, offered McGregor $2 million dollars to fight Rasul Mirzaev on the Fedor vs. Maldonado fight card in June.

Not wanting to sit on the sidelines if McGregor were to defect, the Polish promotion KSW threw its hat in the ring as well, offering McGregor $3 million to fight for its featherweight championship.

I think the KSW one was meant as a joke.

 

[wilKO]

So face massive legal backlash to fight a can as second fiddle to Fedor fighting a LHW can. Seems legit. I fully support it.

 

[Mattitude V1]

2M chump change for Conor. No way he'd entertain the idea, especially considering the legal fees it would incur.

 

[LouisBolanos]

Hopefully McGregor says F it, breaches UFC contract and fights for the Russians, this way we could potentially see Ziyavudin Magomedov duke it out with The Ferittas. That's a MUCH, MUCH better fighter than McGregor vs. Ferittas. Ziyavudin is worth 3+ billion. He's no pushover like Conor compared to the Ferittas.

 

[Zarra]

Yeah,that seems like a great idea.

 

[Abezal]

Yes and no. If he and UFC split, there's only a handful of places that can provide a stable platform for him to fight on and that can pay.

I'm wondering would any org co promote with MC him self.

Fuck yeah. Put them in a room on that mysterious island the UFC met with Fedor and put that baby on PPV

If Conor went to Bellator they would take over the UFC in terms of popularity… Best thing that could ever happen to the sport.

Popcorn would be out of this world.

Do you genuinely think Conor wanted to co-promote with the UFC?

So, what we have here, gentlemen is possibly the beginning of the first international mob war. -Kenflo

Fedor and Putin are BFFs. IF Fedor can band together with Ziyanvudin and convince Putin to back them up, then the Ferittas would be in serious trouble. Putin vs. Fertittas would be like Ferittas vs. Conor. If Putin really wants to he can put pressure on the US government and/or throw them a couple of bones to have the US dig up dirt on the Ferittas and bury their empire.

Doubt that Putin would go that far for Conor McGregor though.

You really believe that?

It would make sure that gamble of the UFC's failed miserably too.

 

[Drake]

I highly doubt the UFC will let him go.

Russian mob > Italian mob.

Yeah, well he is the unofficial richest man in the world, so the finances are there. But he's too busy being the consummate shady Russian President pissing off the Americans and British by flying war planes into their air space and ordering the assassinations of anyone from being critical of his regime down to his hair being out of place.

Dana fled Boston from the Mob - if he ran from those goofs, he'd probably sweat bucket loads when Vlad enters the room bare chested carrying the carcass of an animal he killed by looking at it. Shame.

 

[HelloJapan]

Finally, Vegas mob vs Russian mob.

"Hey Dana..."

I hope it happens
