Last I heard he was still ducking old man Anderson Silva.Right ? Because he is so known for ducking people right ?
Stop being a goofsaurus.

He fought ONE TIME at 55......for a belt no less.Conor left FW because he could no longer make the weight, he never left LW. GSP left both WW and MW.
can't blame Dana though really.
He knows that In the chance GSP wins
he'll likely vacate the title and retire
It would be a massive fight but In the grand scheme, Is it worth It for the ufc?
*Yawns*....Another long winded excuse as to why you are not a Fanboy....Your shtick is old Mesc.I tend to understand and respect the decision to fight Floyd
and I also feel like money negotiations were a huge factor keeping him out of action afterwards as well. The UFC and WME were just as much to blame for him not coming back sooner.
I understand wanting to believe he was ducking, scared, never fighting again, or whatever other strange parallel reality people like to create for themselves Is the more attractive thing to believe.
Those are just very extreme examples when the reality Is far simpler. It's just a matter of the average person, such as yourself not paying attention to the deeper politics and business taking place behind the scenes.
But of course, me even acknowledging that there are other angles to consider makes me a fanboy In your mind. It's more an example of the extremist reality you live In than anything.
That said, this thread Isn't even about Conor. You can't even go a single thread without posting about him, throwing hate about him. Yet you cannot see the hypocrisy In it all.
Everything I've said about Conor, It's just me attempting to be objective about his career, decisions, skillset In a community of people who are choosing to be extremists. I'm absolutely a fan of him and I have a ton of respect for him. That's where the story ends though.*Yawns*....Another long winded excuse as to why you are not a Fanboy....Your shtick is old Mesc.
This: "it's just a matter of the average person, such as yourself" Is exactly why you are labeled a fkn pretentious, egotistical, Narcissist.
Why didn't Conor fight Khabib, the night Khabib took his belt fighting Al?Everything I've said about Conor, It's just me attempting to be objective about his career, decisions, skillset In a community of people who are choosing to be extremists. I'm absolutely a fan of him and I have a ton of respect for him. That's where the story ends though. I've defended and shown a similar level of respect towards many figures who I felt received undeserved criticism.
For example the post you just responded to. Nothing said Is some grand truth. It's just you live so far from reality you're unable to see any of It.
If I'm any of those things around you, It's because you're really really dumb. I suppose I have low tolerance for stupidity.
GSP wouldn’t fight Habib if he won anyway.
Who the fuck are we kidding.
It’s Georgie we’re talking about here.
Big Khabib fan here....GSP takes Khabib, but I think it would be a surprisingly even fight. GSP's striking wins him this one.I think GSP is a nightmare matchup for Khabib actually
He's a much bigger guy who's one of the best wrestlers we've seen in MMA and was recently at MW, Khabib will have a hard time taking him down and GSP has very underrated stand up. Khabib's eye and nose would be busted from his jab early
Well, we do know they were In contract negotiations for quite some time.Why didn't Conor fight Khabib, the night Khabib took his belt fighting Al?
There's the long winded bullshit excuse I was looking for. I knew you would come through. It was a very simple question, that has a very simple answer, and you write this book to spin it. I'll show the simple answer to such a simple question. Conor didn't defend against Khabib, because he never fights a fight he has something to lose in. He also refuses to defend his entire career. You have just proven you are no different than NOlogic. Fanboy.Well, we do know they were In contract negotiations for quite some time.
Conor had just come off a fight with Floyd.
Him and his team were negotiating a contract for revenue percentages comparable to what he made during the Floyd fight. Comparable to what other high level athletes like Floyd and others have been making for a long time.
You even heard Conor elude to It after his fight with Eddie. That he was going to need to be compensated fairly from that point forward.
Thing Is, a contract and pay structure of that magnitude Is something that's never been given to a UFC fighter since It's Inception. It was the first of It's kind and I called It from beginning, It was probably going to be lengthy. Which Is why I didn't go along with the "scared to defend his belt" bs..I knew what they were negotiating was massive.
Would It have been nice to see him defend his belt sooner? At the beginning of the year even? Yes. Absolutely. I understand It's more attractive to call him a pussy, say he's scared to defend, is retired forever and whatever else..but I think people have to understand Is things aren't always so simple though. Particularly with someone like Conor who's one of the biggest stars on earth at the moment.
Like I said from the beginning, him and his team were negotiating a massive contract. Which would likely be a lengthy process. The UFC / WME were just as much to blame for It not happening sooner but at the end of the day, It's just the cost of business.
He's booked now versus Khabib, so what many of us predicted Initially was not far from the truth.
Well the difference Is, my answer was accurateThere's the long winded bullshit excuse I was looking for. I knew you would come through. It was a very simple question, that has a very simple answer, and you write this book to spin it. I'll show the simple answer to such a simple question. Conor didn't defend against Khabib, because he never fights a fight he has something to lose in. He also refuses to defend his entire career. You have just proven you are no different than NOlogic. Fanboy.
Because he needs a belt, and there is nothing to lose.Well the difference Is, my answer was accurate
and your answer came from an idiot
At this point, I'm thinking you have to be a troll quite honestly..
So, why Is he fighting Khabib now then?
