Ariel Helwani to post a video shortly about his knowledge on the McGregor situation

[leto1776]

Ariel doesn't know shit. It's been 10 fucking hours and he's still tweeting "Reason(s) unknown." Watch the video just be a recap of everything we already know and more speculation based on nothing.

Why has no one thought go up to Kavanagh and simply ask him yet? This is stupid beyond comprehension at this point.

Who's gonna travel all the way to Iceland to talk to that fool?

I think it's clear that what is clearly clear here is that it's unclear what's going on

For the longest time this forum gave Helwani droves of shit. They claimed he was an instigator. They claimed he was horrible at his job and just wanted to start shit. Now? He's the only hope for real, unfiltered news. He still asks the good questions and will still push an issue. He's always been the best at this shit.

Props to Helwani.

He has always told the truth. I think the difference between him and most is that he also always waited until he could confirm the information. Everyone else runs with the rumor.

So, oh wise one, please enlighten us with YOUR knowledge of this situation. Oh, you don't know shit either?

You can't make people talk if they don't want to talk, and going up to McGregor or Kavanaugh and simply asking is exactly what EVERYONE thought to do first, but they're not talking.

The only thing that's stupid beyond comprehension thus far is impatient internet trolls like you thinking you can just "Google" the answer.

I disagree, Dana and the fertittas have huge egos, they're going to snatch that belt from him so fucking fast, watch aldo vs Edgar be for the real title now and then Conor bail

I don't see any world where Dana gives Conor an out to fight somewhere else if he has any control at all.

In many ways I think that's why Dana dropped him. Zuffa has all the leverage right now unless Conor truly wants to retire which I really doubt.

 

[Doog Doogson]

This dude is always spot on, best mma journalist by some distance. Ariel's original tweet of the evening lent McGregors retirement tweet some weight when most of us were dismissing it as a joke


And then a couple of hours before Dana pulled UFC 200 he mentioned the whole media promotion obligations side of it in Vegas which is currently the official story

...What the fuck are you talking about?

He can't just "bail" he's under contract.

You really ARE dense, aren't you?

Not really, you just made some really weird post implying that I knew something about the situation and said "you can't just google the answer"

If you think 10 hours going by and people not even remotely knowing whether he's even retired yet is silly, then you're an idiot.

KONE's new avatar?

 

[Kneeuinthenutz]

My only real question is what's up with Aldo/Edgar 2?

I never wanted to see Nate vs Conor 2 but as an Edgar fan is my guy getting the real title now? If Panic Wrestler is gone surely that's for the real belt now.

The title isn't going to seem "real" for quite some time no matter who wins. This is entirely the UFC"s fault or allowing Conor to win the title and then not defend it.

Someone is going to have to defeat Conor in the near future or else it will be a long time before the title has any true legitimacy.

I feared this happening once Dana and company started pretending that he couldn't make 145 anymore.

If he's not the champ he can just wait out his contract

Conor is in ICELAND. The one time he was approached by a journalist there, he said "no interviews". Again, idiot (since you like using that word), you can't make people talk if they don't want to talk. And you tearing into Ariel Helwani because there's no definitive answer as to "why" is idiotic and impatient on your part.

Guess who else is in ICELAND? Gunnar Nelson, his father who vaguely implied Conor is retired, Kavanagh, and many others related to Conor at the moment.

One group of people asked Conor, he said no, and then nothing has happened. So yes, the fact that nobody can be found to specify what is going on is silly. Them not wanting to talk about it is also silly.

I'm not tearing into Ariel, I'm saying he doesn't know shit. And guess what? It's true. He doesn't know shit. His video will likely not reveal anything. He hasn't told anyone anything new. You're really mad over nothing for some reason.

Your initial post in all of this was "why hasn't anyone thought to go up to Kavanaugh and simply ask him yet?". Precisely EVERYONE thought of that, and that's what was silly. Trust me, I'm not mad, "bro".

Oh, and I bet you'll be watching Ariel's video.....

I'm aware Kavanagh might not be willing to say anything. Yet another reason the entire situation is stupid as fuck, which reinforces what I was saying initially.

Why did you get so mad though?

Oh, and I bet you'll be watching Ariel's video.....

Yeah, maybe. He probably won't say anything new though.

 

[Jayzer193]

I post about this 2 days ago, it gets wastelanded, I get into it with a mod over it, then yesterday the thread is gone.

Fine, I won't say what is really happening.
