Conor/Khabib is a win win for the UFC no matter who wins

[Clippy]

That's a rare occurrence, usually it would be in the company's best interest if one fighter wins over the other but really

Conor wins they can keep promoting him as Conor

Khabib wins and he's the undefeated man who beat Conor

It's good news for them either way I think

 

[Goh]

it's better for them if conor wins.

 

[TheRassler]

Nate beat Conor (twice), was that a win/win??

 

[nostradumbass]

Conor winning would be more of a liability, considering he's jumped ship every other time he's won a belt. Does anybody really think he'd hang out and defend a title if he won? He would probably try to take a WW fight and then retire, and then we'd be right back to more vacant and interim titles.

Conor is too unstable as a champ for that division...

Khabib is the safer option but Conor is the bigger draw...

UFC will have to manage either way...

 

[The Neckbeard]

If by some divine fluke that Conor won he wouldn't defend the fucking belt. What would it take for you cans to understand this?

Conor fans Lynch GSP for getting the MW strap and vacating but they get a boner when Conor gets a belt and refuses to defend?

If he won and vacated that's fine, but good thing we won't have to worry about that again because Khabib dusts Conor.

the better the fight the bigger the success

 

[Kaybee]

Unless Conor gets absolutely wrecked he will probably gun for the rematch like he did against Diaz, so I think it is in the UFC's best interest for Khabib to win. Conor-Diaz 2 did mega numbers because everyone loves the story of a guy facing adversity to win a rematch.

If Conor wins he's probably skipping town unless he gets the GSP fight.

 

[TrueBias]

Im just hoping for an exciting fight and it seems the only guarantee of that is khabib pulling out and tony filling in..

Yep
Either outcome does not make/break the company
Conor will still be a draw even with a loss
He was a bigger draw after tapping to Nate.

khabib could be a big star with a convincing win.

that is the fun of the fight

rumor has it dana white hates lesbians because Amanda retired Ronda

 

[Fossor]

it's better for them if conor wins.

If he wins we may not see him again, but if he loses, his ego may bounce him back.

Khabib wins and makes Conor mortal, not bad for the UFC, except Khabib gets injured often and could bring in an element the UFC does not want at all.
Conor wins but doesn't defend the belt, again, and the UFC suffers.

What? Conor has been made mortal many times before.

And Conor not defending the belt doesn't spell doom for the UFC. He could chase rando big money fights and still make the UFC boatloads like he did with May Mac (180 million). The guys in the division will hate him but the UFC business won't suffer.

Serious question....what have you been able to do the last 11 days considering you post every 1.2 hours on average. Thats 24/7 for the last 11 days. Wait...are you handicapped or retarded and unable to leave your home. If so, please disregard. Were all very proud of you.

UFC is a $200m+ a year profit company without a single PPV
That $200m figure is 40+m more than the fertitta's last full year
You get it, but some don't realize that PPV is the icing & no longer the cake
of course some great tasting icing kicks ass though

My thought, which doesnt deserve a whole new thread is that NO ONE, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE KNOWS WHO WILL WIN!
Im pulling for Conor but will be nervous as shit during the fight. Its the most "true pick em" Ive ever seen in the UFC.
