Even early on I rooted for Conor’s opponents more than I did for him; but it seems a bit shortsighted to dismiss his relevance to the wider fan base.

Biggest Pay-Per-View Events in UFC History

The UFC racks up pay-per-view sales with marquee fights. But which of these big matchups was considered the money fight?

w/o the pandemic happening, Conor would hold the top 7 spots for PPV buys.
Lesnar and then Rousey would likely be the only ones up there with him.


Conor’s worst performing PPV was about $825K Vs Mendes.

To call him irrelevant is incredibly shortsighted.
The casuals (and even non-MMA fans) along with some boxing fans (probably) will tune in as well.

Semi related note:
W/o Lesnar, 200 probably never would’ve come close to 1,000,000 buys.
Further, the only other 1,000,000 PPV buy fighter still signed is Holm who was the B side vs. Rousey.


GSP and Silva both came close, JBJ less, etc… and those are all GOAT candidates.

UFC should have Connor on 300.

He brings a lot of excitement. Even if his time is up and he was always a bit overrated

UFC 300:
Aspinall vs Miocic, or Gane if Miocic opts out
Makhachev vs Oliviera
Winner of Leon/Colby vs Belal
Pereira vs Ankalaev/Walker winner
Khamzat vs Costa or Cannonier

I don't think many people would complain about this card.

Didn't Conor say he wouldn't be ready?

UFC does not need Conor

I’ve already accepted that he’s probably going to be the main event, that’s just what’s likely to happen

It would honestly be a shame if Conor were on that card. But I wouldn't be surprised.

Conor not the draw people think he is …..Hope he never fights

No he's not. he's more than ppl think

The UFC doesn't like to stack Conor cards, doesn't make sense to have him on 300 instead of 2-3 title fights.

Conor has that Irish stout Money now
fighting would purely be for ego
