Absolutely. Why wouldn't the fight happen? It's always been Conor's plan to fight Tony.
In Glasgow months ago: "I plan to defend my belt and unify the division. That means a lot to me"
You seriously think Conor is "afraid" of Tony? Tony who was nearly finished by a FW?
The same Conor who fought his toughest match up -the big bad boogieman wrestler Mendes, on short notice?
The same Conor who boxed Floyd in a boxing ring (winning numerous rounds)
The same Conor who accepted a very dangerous Nate on short notice at 170
The same Conor who lost to Nate at 170, then avenged the loss JUST 5 MONTHS LATER AT THE SAME WEIGHT OF 170
Let's get real lol...
But I guess because Conor simply wanted to take a little time off (after making history against Floyd) impatient, self entitled dweebs started running wild with all kinds of hate/trolling non sense
It seems with all the recent events that have been taking place, people have forgotten just how great of a fighter Conor actually is. Conor will remind the world once again when he sparks Tony
The truth is, Tony is tailor made to get counter fucked by Conor, with all his gaping defensive flaws
....And NO, Tony does NOT have the chin of Nate. It took Thompson numerous flush head kicks and vicious ground and pound to finally force a ref stoppage over Nate. How many times have you actually ever seen Nate just floored and concussed?
Meanwhile Tony has been absolutely floored hard multiple times in multiple fights. Tony has much more of an Alvarez chin if anything
Tony gets dropped a lot, like Alvarez, but he recovers well, like Alvarez
But good luck "recovering" against a sniper counter puncher like Conor who's hitting you on the sweet spot every single time with every single strike, and constantly making you pay.
Tony has never been finished. Aldo and Alvarez had never been finished either until Conor
I'm thinking Conor in round 2 via out cold KO. Tony rushes in too upright, too much. Hes gonna rush face first into a counter from Conor and get put out stiff. It's collisions that do the most damage
If you want more specifics and any detailed breakdowns let me know guys
I would be interested in seeing a poll regarding this.......Disagree
I'd give him until next summerI would be interested in seeing a poll regarding this.......
How long do you think he should have before unifying his belt/defending against Tony?
Next summer? You do know that he got that belt Nov 12th, 2016 right? You do realize Champs that inactive should be stripped right? That's 20 months inactive from a guy who said, and I quoteI'd give him until next summer
I can't disagree the division needs to move along but I feel for Conor it's not like he's been sat on his ass, he just fought Floyd fucking money in August
The UFC allowed it and were a part in it, so that's why he deserves a little slack
I think they got it right with the FW Belt. 350 days is long enough without a defense or scheduled defense to strip a fighter.....I would be interested in seeing a poll regarding this.......

"I am the most active Champion, and will defend both belts".
“The belts will still be active, because I am active. I am as active as any of
them. There’s no problem with that".
“I understand why previously they would have fighters do that, because many
fighters don’t fight as frequently as I do (but) I’m busy. I stay active.
I’m fresh."
He isn’t failing to defend because he can’t. He’s failing to defend his title because
he won't.
He should be forced to unify (soon), or be stripped...No more of this Pres-Madonna bullshit.
The only way the UFC strips him, is if he fights and beats T.Wood.You're bang on
In a perfect world
If you think the UFC will strip Conor your on some good shit
And I'll buy some off you
No thanks, you've made your opinions known way too frequently.Absolutely. Why wouldn't the fight happen? It's always been Conor's plan to fight Tony.
