Could be an effort to use the Ali act to get his contract invalidated.

That or just to put leverage on the UFC, Conor is always a step ahead it seems. Ariel helwani said Conor will be applying in other states as well.

Yeah, some people think he is willing to take a warm up fight before facing Mayweather (which is what California have reportedly said he'd have to do if he was interested in facing Mayweather). That's way too big a risk for McGregor and co.

Yeah there is no point to taking a warm up fight against a top guy because he would lose and then the appeal of a mayweather match would be severely dimmed.

It would hurt his brand in MMA, as well. A lot of his fans are people who genuinely think he's an elite boxer.

I think that's becauSe a lot of his fans aren't actually combat sports fans, rather sports fans in general.

Or pro wrestling fans who see a loud mouth cocky Irishman who knocks people out and insults people, they love that.

Why? I'm not intimately familiar with how they did it, I thought they just announced that he was stripped.

Yair Rodriguez is not a big fight, he's a prospect still. BJ has lost to nothing but top notch fighters, he hasn't had a soft touch in I couldn't tell you how long.

There are a lot of non elite fighters in the ufc, it's a fun fight and it's a potential for Yair to build his name off a legend or for BJ to make a comeback. If they let him go Bellator will sign him and he will do numbers for them.

Conor hasn't fought at 145 in 11 months and has taken 3 fights outside of the division since then. He has made no intentions of defending that belt ever and is supposedly taking a break, it's time for the division to move on. GSP was taking an indefinite leave of the sport with no guarantee of ever returning, they aren't the same scenarios.
