What has MMA come to, to where the "interium champion" can win his fake belt by beating the #7 ranked LeeWhat has our sport come to where the champion doesn't have to fight the interim champion.
Absolutely pathetic.
Astoundingly pathetic

Its a shame that 155 is a shark tank and it has been reduced to shit, non-activity, nothing happening, because of Conor. Its seriously fucked up to say the least.
Not because of Conor
It was because of tiramisu Khabib constantly pulling out of fights "Khabib I've had 2 fights in 4 years"
And because of Nate turning down fights left and right
Conor boxing Floyd was actually the perfect opportunity for a LW to really cement himself as a true #1 contender for Conor to fight on Conor's return
It's NOT Conor's fault that no LW did anything with that opportunity
Why do haters ignore that Tony has only had 3 fights in 2 years and that Khabib has only had 2 fights in 3 years
Are haters so delusional that they are going to blame the inactivity of Tony and Khabib on Conor too?
Where did I say he's afraid?1. You people are the ones claiming Conor is "afraid" of Tony and "ducking" him.
Pioneer?
Ever heard of BJ Penn or Randy Couture?
They one belts in two divisions while be the smaller opponent and never complained about their opponents being 3 times the size!
And in Couture's case it was damn near true.

Nate was far far far bigger then Conor
And it makes zero sense business wise.
Lmao at all the haters not wanting to give Conor credit.
Nobody goes up and weights and defends their belt, but Conor. A true pioneer.
Wall of text that amounts to "Conor is special because I'm on his nuts, all the special things the UFC set up for him were so much more special than all the other not special fighters that couldnt be Conor even though they actually did things like defend titles in their own weight class, fight contenders in the divisions they were in, you know, ordinary fighter stuff"
How was Conor a #1 LW contender?? This is where your post has problems seeing through Conor short and curlies. He had a title fight at FW and ZERO defences, how was he a contender for LW and not "gifted a title shot" like those others you disparage?
LOL this cant be serious. BJ had an EXCUSE for every loss
BJ was a habitual excuse maker lulz
Also Randy literally said that the ONLY reason he lost to Lesnar was because he wasn't "use to his reach advantage"
Pretty obvious Conor haters weren't following MMA back then
LOL
Pounds at the heavier weights mean nothing..hence why HW is 205 to 265...
Learn body percentage
Giving up 10-20lbs at the lower weights, IS FAR more significant then giving up 10-20lbs at HW.
Nate was far far far bigger then Conor
Also Alvarez had 15lbs on Conor
Even giving up 15lbs from FW to LW is a far greater difference then 15lbs at HW
The lightweight champ should get a TREMENDOUS amount of credit for fighting the interim lightweight champ.And it makes zero sense business wise.
You must be a professional troll. The idea that you can try to defend Conor and criticize Tony is hilarious.
Tony fought Kevin because there was essentially no one else for him to fight that had a higher rank. He was scheduled to fight Khabib and you should know how that turned out. Get your head out of your ass.
Also did you think it was pathetic when Conor got a title shot off of Dennis Siver?
Conor's run to the FW title was far worse than Tony's run to the interim title. I wouldn't expect a Conor fangirl like you to admit that though.
No more bigger than the advantage Conor had on most of his opponents.
shut the fuck up
You are completely clueless. I don't even know where to start so I'll just go with this. Couture did not give up 10-20 pounds to Lesnar.
Weigh in weight:
Lesnar - 265 and he cut to get there.
Couture - 220
It is posters like you who give the McGregor nuthuggers a bad name.
Giving up 10-20lbs at the lower weights, IS FAR more significant then giving up 10-20lbs at HW.
Even giving up 15lbs from FW to LW is a far greater difference then 15lbs at HW
Tbf for most fighting the top contender is also their biggest money fight. Conor's situation is unique in that he has other much more profitable fights available so you can't really compare him to other champions as these other champions didn't have these options available to them. Most fighters would take the fight that pays the most.Give him credit for defending the belt against the top contender? Isn't that what a champion is supposed to do.
