As a fan, I don't like it at all. I think he should defend his belt as do probably all of us.
However, trying to put myself in his perspective, I understand the situation.
From Conor's perspective, he knows that he is THE big draw of the UFC. The money maker. The PPV legend. He is drawing all of the PPV buys basically. His fights are guaranteed to do 1m+ buys.
Fighters know this, they know they can get a cut of that hype.
Basically, he realizes that whomever he fights, they are going to be a lot better off in the financial department than they were before they fought him, win or lose.
And Conor has said multiple times that he doesn't like TFerg and doesn't want to make him rich. That makes sense because TFerg has been calling him out all year with lots of shit, insulting him, etc etc.
Conor's thinking, why the FOOK should I make this guy famous and rich if he can't show any respect for me? he's thinking, fuck this idiot trying to insult me and come at me, I'd rather lose my belt than give this loser a fat paycheck.
And I get that. I mean, would any of YOU guys want to make a person that you HATE rich?
Just to clarify, I don't like Conor either and I'm not defending him. Just trying to explain why I think he doesn't want to fight TFerg.
