Conor McGregor 'won't return to the UFC until April' at the earliest says John Kavanagh

[popwarnermma]

They need to strip him & move on, they have his contract & have him by the balls. Ferguson vs Khabib for real lw title for ufc 219.

Khabib, a guy who last fought the same month as Conor and since has only pulled out of a fight the day of because he can't make weight?

Until you DEFEND THE TITLE...you are never the champion..and will never be considered the champion.

Even in a loss. Have respect for the title and give someone the opportunity to be a champion.

Stripping him could actually produce an interesting narrative - newly hungry again McGregor returns to recapture the belt he never DEFENDED, etc.

 

[TheIrishPsycho]

Just give the fucking LW belt to Tony,

Mcgregor will never take a tough fight.

 

[Shadowthrone]

what a fucking diva. strip him

also, it will be what, one year and a half without defending the LW title? hahahahahaha

Nov 2016

Middle 2018

Early/Middle 2019 if he wins? LMAO

For what it's worth I will now refer to him as Greg because it's hilarious.

 

[popwarnermma]

At least Aldo was legit injured when he didn't fight

Which time?

Strip him again, this is getting so boring now. He never wants to defend a belt, all he wants to do is take take take but give very little back. He would get embarrassed by Tony and he knows it, he would be exhausted after a few minutes with a guy like Tony. He knows with every loss his popularity will become less and less.

When Kavanagh says April or mid-year, that doesn't mean its against Tony at all. It will probably be some BS match with Nate 3 or that 75 year old boxer Pauline. Such BS. Just be done with him. I only want to see him fight Tony because Tony is the true champ and it would be hilarious to see Conor exhausted falling over and getting choked out.

F*k this joke fraudster fighter strip his ass and get this division moving again with guys that want to fight and value he meaning of a belt I relish the days of UFC BC (Before Conor) strip him of the belt offer him a fight if he don't want it tell him it's been nice he and his promotion can go promote circus fights with against big name celebrities.

Don’t start a business. Please, for your sake.

The UFC was successful and profitable before Conor came around, and it will continue to be long after he's gone. You're an idiot if you think the UFC NEEDS Conor to survive.

Good, Conor deserves a rest after being assaulted.

Just a beta supporting a beta... business as usual in Conor's crotch.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Taking another extended vacation? You don't say. Probably waiting for Woodley vs Diaz results.

 

[Mob69]

Does anyone give a shit anymore?

McGoof thinks he is bigger than the sport.

LMFAO.

 

[Based Akali]

He needs to vacate the belt this is getting silly now

No he doesn't, no other person would vacate, this is on the UFC to strip him. It's funny watching people trying to blame Conor because the UFC won't strip him of the title, like he controls the UFC's actions or something.

 

[Dorkman]

Holding up divisions worse than cain velasquez. At least Cain had the excuse of being made out of glass.

 

[RafaelDosSantos]

What a bum

It's one thing if he didn't have a belt ..

 

[popwarnermma]

The UFC was successful and profitable before Conor came around, and it will continue to be long after he's gone. You're an idiot if you think the UFC NEEDS Conor to survive.

Interim-champ Ferguson just dropped a 120,000 buy PPV. Conor's last 3 in the UFC 1.4 million, 1.6 million, 1.4 million. Ok.....

 

[Paynebringer]

Confirmed scared

Ferg would kill him

Damn right he's scared of "El Cucuy" Tony is Nate 3.0 Conor don't want no part of that...

 

[blaseblah]

UFC is sports entertainment, belts and rankings are a sham. They'll do whatever is most profitable.

The most profitable thing would be having him fight three times a year.

 

[fedoriswar37]

But you better believe he'll carry around both his belts Promoting himself as the champ champ as if it even means anything

 

[bigconan]

Not in this case. It’s not like they’re giving the belt to someone Conor already beat. Conor has one win at LW he bypassed sharks to get there. His belt only means he can beat Eddie.

But eddie was the champion...who knocked senseless, RDA...

 

[FrankFixer]

They really should strip him. If/when he comes back he can have any fight he wants.
How does Tony fight anyone else unless it's defending the LW title.

 

[bigconan]

But you better believe he'll carry around both his belts Promoting himself as the champ champ as if it even means anything

In one sense I agree....he seems to be holding up the LW title...and I can understand people calling him out for it...But he has never lost either title...but at some point, you have to defend...
