We have all read Conor's tweet about retirering.
I think like many others that this is a negation tactic because Dana has stated that he won't have a non title-fight above a title fight on a PPV again.
So I can see 3 different endings to this.
1. Interim fight in 155. But the line is long, we have Tony, Dustin, Holloway and also Aldo if he wins his next fight that could make a case more deserving because Conor is coming from a loss.
2. Conor sits out (again) either by choice or as a punishment from the UFC like at UFC 200 and comes back later on a non title PPV.
3. This is my guess. Dana knows Conor is money and with so many fighters lobbing for a 165-division I can see them creating an opportunity to meet Conor half ways, he won't have a stock in the UFC but he will get the opportunity to become a champion again. That would rise the PPV sales and give the later opportunity for a Khabib VS Conor Rematch with two belts on the line in november when Khabib is back.
Thoughts?
