Conor campaining for a fight that hasn't been called off???!

[Da Killa]

Did I miss something? I didn't hear the UFC say he wasn't still fighting Nate next?

None of all this stuff have to do with not wanting to do promotion or be at press conferences.

Conor's camp is trying to get the fans behind him to give pressure on the UFC but it's not really working. Although Conor have a lot of fans who backs him up, it seems he has an equal amounts of detractors. Seems to me that even though a lot of people will buy PPV's to watch Conor fight, there is a big amount of those people who watch to see him lose. Those people can't be used to pressure the UFC and that is why Conor is failing at using "his fans" for leverage. IMO.

There is only one way any of this makes sense and that is if UFC and Conor disagree on who he is fighting next, after Nate (and now add to that if he is fighting Nate). Conor wants to be in full control of who he is fighting next and the UFC isn't having it.

I've noted that Conor never made any comments to the UFC saying he was fighting to defend his belt after the Nate fight, no matter if he would lose or win. This is where the real issue is. The rest is smoke and mirrors.

IMO

Conor tested the waters via malfeasance, it backfired, and the UFC took appropriate action.

Don't take anything McGregor posts right now to heart. He badly overestimated his leveraging power, the UFC gave him a reality check on who's boss and left him scrambling. Right now McGregor is in that "is this real life? Fuck! let's do it again" state of mind not unlike someone fresh off a brutal KTFO.

Give him at least a couple of weeks before everyting settles in.

They said he is defending the title next. Plus he still wants on UFC200,the poor sucker.

 

[haraigoshi]

i honestly don't know how this mess really is going to end and.DFW saying "something" is not a 100% assurance of nothing nowadays.

what i know is that if I was one of the owners i would MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE McG fights exactly who i want and when i want next,just to make a point.

I believe you, but do you have a link?

I believe you, but do you have a link?

He also said Conor will probably fight on 201 or 202.

So it depends on which Dana you want to believe.

they will still give him the fight with Nate as long as he does the Promotion next time and it has to be soon after 200. He has to defend that FW title this year.

Or as truth
Or as serious

That is my thinking
They try for 201/202 with Nate & after that they look at the title match

UFC has moved on, it's time for Conor to face reality and defend his precious belt.

 

[kathebrahl]

conor wants to make it sound like he wants to fight nate. if he really wanted to, he would be fighting him at ufc 200.

my theory is conor had second thoughts on fighting nate and this is all an elaborate duck and the ufc is on it. backing out of the fight without losing face for conor

Since he knew what the outcome of his "everyone should do it but me" attitude, this position might actually have something to it

What if Conor gets destroyed worse by Nate and needs more time-off?
