Conor McGregor Reacts to Dana White Saying He Won't Fight This Year.

[krelianx]

It's hard to overstate how much I despise Conor McGregor. I hope he falls into a volcano and disappears.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

Dana putting Conor on ice so he remains under contract and doesn't fight for BKFC.

this hes got delay it for as long as possible and give him a terrible matchup too

WE WANT DECEMBER! WE DESERVE DECEMBER!

 

[Greyscale]

Geez cut him already

 

[TerrorTimmy]

Conor to Dana: I can't fight this year, won't fight for a while

Conor on social media: I want all the fights, give me a fight, I can fight

He just wants to keep his name out there because he knows he's not relevant to anything now

 

[LiQuiD42]

I just cannot get myself hyped up to see a very inactive guy, who is like 5th or 6th in the division, fight. It's been 3 years and some change with this guy, he's not really relevant anymore. Even if he fights, it's not like he is going to fight anytime soon after. It's like watching someone light a wet firework that's been sitting in the rain outside. A total dud.

He's putting Conor on ice so his biggest cash cow is still under contract when the company negotiates its next tv deal. It's easy for people to think Conor is the one who's messing around (and he's certainly made a ton of mistakes), but it's actually the UFC who's dragging this thing out.

Lol conor hasnt legit done one serious training camp in last 4 years, he is constantly out drinking when he had fights lined up with chandler and just pulled out over fecking sore toe but sure conor isnt messing around its all dana......lol.

Will Conor even fight again this decade?

 

[HHJ]

BKFC is in Utah Sep 6th. I bet that is the Altitude he is training for. A drunken promo is what Conman considers training now. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Conor is entirely too rich to fight in Utah.

 

[JakePaulMMA]

does 'off to altitude' mean getting high as fuck?

 

[Horiguchi'sEar]

It would help if the UFC could develop more stars, half the fan base still seems opsessed with conor

 

[Neck&Neck]

I don’t think that was actually Conor tweeting
He didn’t call Dana a fat smelly rat

Literally Breaking News on Sports Center... Bigger than Soccer

Clown comment, as usual

I've been wondering about the UFC's role in this thing being dragged out. People are blaming Chandler for not taking other fights, but we have no way of knowing if the UFC is jerking him around or not.

They cant, Dana’s a fraud. If Conor wasnt a yapper, how exactly has the UFC marketed him or any fighter?

 

[Elvis.]

Unless there’s a nearby bar called altitude he’s not preparing for fuck all

Oi, watch the double negatives.

That would be my assumption as well...it's the UFC delaying it for its own purposes...whether that is for the TV deal, money/contract issues, or simply scheduling, who knows.

While of course changes can be made, several others have noted that the UFC's schedule is essentially full for the rest of 2024. Only UFC 310 in Vegas seems like a realistic option at this point, if it is simply a matter of ensuring Conor headlines...but I agree that there is likely more to it with some sort of leverage play relating to TV rights and/or Conor's contract status.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

“Altitude”.. Is that a new narcotic?

Dana is trying to use reverse psychology on Conor. They’re both idiots.

 

[honzo]

Who train at altitude 3 months before a fight....noone.
All of the benefits are long gone by then.
