Really?
Considering that Conor will ever create balls and get back to the octagon again someday

But he ducked the Aldo rematch and it seems he is trying to avoid Khabib and Ferguson too. If Conor had his way he would be fighting mediocre lightweight Nate Diaz again. He is afraid to take risks. Notice how often he fought before he had a belt? Now that he has it he is afraid to fight and risk losing it. He will probably be stripped of the 155lb belt nextWhy teh FUCK would Conor duck Zombie he wanted to fight DOS ANJOS
No doubt.since when Korean Zombie is a world beater? He is too wild & sloppy for Conor. 1st round KO for Conor
It takes 10x more balls for an MMA fighter to challenge the greatest boxer in his division in boxing. His chances against Floyd is infinitely lower than his chances against Khabib or Ferguson, let alone Korean Zombie.
I'm not sure that is balls, knowing you're going to lose a boxing match for 50 million or whatever and still get to keep your MMA title for another year without defending it against someone who is a bad matchup doesn't scream balls. It's just smart, if you have to lose don't do it against someone who will actually take aaway your worth.
Yes the belts take away, him being stripped but not losing it doesn't hurt him at all, however losing them convincingly would.. I think Ronda Rousey going from the baddest bitch on the the planet to a do-nothing in 2 fights is pretty good evidence of that.Who's going to take away Conor's worth in MMA? Oh you mean the belt? They just took away his FW belt, you think his worth just dropped 50%? Conor has long since transcended belts. His biggest PPV was against Diaz, not his fight vs. Eddie on supposedly the biggest UFC card of all time. Losing a belt doesn't do any damage, getting completely clowned by Mayweather will.
Not to mention it's his balls that put him in this position in the first place. Who else in MMA is being offered tens of millions to fight the PPV king Mayweather? Nobody. Conor is in this position because he had the balls to take short notice replacement fights that people like Jones and Fedor would have pulled out 100%, the balls to take on top fighters in multiple weight classes, something GSP had ducked for years, and the balls to call the shots and make what many consider crazy predictions beforehand that become reality. That's what makes him special, and that's why conventional championship standards do not apply to him. Sure the run of the mill champion is expected to defend his belt. But Conor is anything but a run of the mill champ.
