yes. People don't give a fuck about 90% of the ufc roster. All it takes is for Conor to go over and suddenly people are watching bellator instead. A big star going over in his prime would tip the scales massively. Combined with all the old legends fighting in bellator and suddenly UFC programming looks pretty drab
It's all MMA to me, but if Conor is not coming back to show who the best at 155 is and unifying the belts then I have no interest in what he does and where he does it.
Conor is worth more than the entire Bellator roster, and wants to co-promote with the UFC, or host his own promotion. He isn't going to deal with Bellator.
Fighters lose their aura in just a few losses in the UFC. One loss in Bellator and he's fucked imo. I love Bellator but I think it would be very risky because a loss would probably be deemed as losing to a second tier opponent.
Hypothetically speaking, if Conor were to do that, it would shift the balance of the two organizations massively. Conor is certifiably a mainstream star and is riding a massive wave of popularity right now.
