Anyone else think Conor won't retire this is just a publicity stunt?

[mommas homeboy]

Why aren't there more threads about this?

I'm convinced he will be back sometime after 200. Am I the only one?

We'll have to wait for it all to simmer down to be able to tell.

Something is up one way or another though and you can bet Dana isnt happy.

McQuitter quit inside and outside of the octagon.

 

[snw10mm]

I heard he was going to stay home and have Travis Brown's babies.

 

[Sirwastealot]

No this hasn't occurred to anyone else.

 

[RJ43]

Hard to say. I think he tried to call dana's bluff and it back fired. He will probably sit for a while then make a dramatic return.

Shame he misses that Diaz fight. I'm really pissed about that.

 

[surgeyou1]

It's a hold out. He'll come when they show him the money.

 

[thechoice2]

He'll be back, fighters don't retire this young, they have no other way to make the kind of money they make fighting. He'll be back again.

 

[west42]

Kinda of. Then again, it's a bit overboard for a publicity stunt.

 

[effervesciata]

He threw a strop and tweeted that out when he was angry. He loves it too much to give it up.

Conor is a master of creating excitement and getting the spotlight pointed straight at him.

He will not retire. This is just his attempt to create more buzz for his next match. I'm surprised so many are buying this.

I don't know how much this will help his PPV's but I guess he figures it does more for him then just going ahead and fighting Diaz at 200.

It's a power play

Diaz took his soul. Conor took the easy way out imo.

The threads keep getting deleted.

Lobov tweet unintentionally exposed Mcgregor situation as fake. This is because with MSG available they want to save Mcgregor for the GSP fight. (He was supposed to defeat Diaz, this is why GSP was there.) This creates the biggest UFC event ever as both fighters will be coming back.

Keep in mind Mcgregor losing to Diaz again kills the chance of this fight. UFC 205 will be GSP/Mcgregor.

To be fair the Diaz rematch never made sense in the first place, lots of other fights were more interesting/made more sense so this could have been planned all along.

Though I dont see any logic in the UFC/Conor wanting to massively fuck UFC 200 over.

Not a good one. He just missed a easy win or lose million dollar payday.

Frankie Perez retired when he was 26.
