Why did Connor accept Silva’s challenge immediately but ignored Usmans?

[Unfinished Sentenc]

Is this the clearest duck ever?

 

[chinarice]

Because one is almost a certainty he loses by complete domination. (Usman)

The other one (Silva) is a somewhat winnable fight. I am not particularly convinced he can beat old man Anderson though.

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

Cause Silva is tougher fight and more exciting, also Guzman doesnt deserve big payday

 

[The UFC Brander Collector]

Washed up old guy that needs to starve himself vs fresh guy that is a terrible matchup

I wonder which one is a better pick

 

[mistermcgoo]

It's very simple. GOAT's only recognize GOAT's.. obviously.

 

[Asako]

Why is the champion calling out fighters?

Fighters should be calling him out.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

If he loses to Silva then Silva is huge, Silva is GOAT, FW fighting a LHW, blah blah, etc, etc. Built in excuses to cover if he loses that doesn't hurt McGregor's standing.

If he loses to Usman especially if he's manhandled it's going to be hard to recover for him.

Conor literally has light heavyweight to featherweight speaking his name, the man is a genius. The andy fight ain’t happening and everyone is hoodwinked, hilarious

Conors getting good at hedging his bets.

Didnt he make a goat list where he put Silva on top? A win over Silva would make him goat in his own list

[SuperNerd]

This is a GSP thread yet? ..maybe another page or two. brb.

 

[loisestrad]

He didn't think it was fair to hold up the 170-division by beating Usmann and still having unfinished business at 155.

Beating Silva at a catch weight would not only secure a huge payday and a win over one of the 4 GOATS, but it would make a fight vs Usman and/or Gaethje or Tony or Khabib much more interesting.

My pick is as good as yours.

 

[Kid Fury]

Because he’s obviously terrified of the life changing beat down he’d suffer.

 

[Rhood]

If you were Conor McIrish, you would accept a fight with Anderson McSilva too!

You are a sad individual

Because the Usman fight could actually be booked and the Anderson fight wont ever be booked but will be talked about ad nauseam.

 

[Sticko]

This fight is dumb because if Conor wins everyone will just say Anderson was too old. And if Anderson wins everyone will say Conor was too small. What does it prove either way?

Conors getting good at hedging his bets.

It's between him and Coture for the best ever at hedging bets.
Couture at 1 point had more title fights then regular fights on his resume.

You are a sad individual

I see truth bothers you. The opinions of random morons on the internet doesn't bother me but it seems the truth rustles your jimmies.

Yes silva is a better way fighter than Usman for sure but styles make fights we already saw what 1 week mini Mendes did to him with 10 inches reach disadvantage, we already saw what khabib (his own size) did to him now imagine what would happen against a natural big welterweight.
