What Tyrone and some of these other guys dont get is that Conor did exactly the opposite of what they are doing.
Aldo was a killer. He wasnt an easy fight or a money fight. Nobody bought aldo ppv's.
Mendes wasnt a draw and conor fought him on 2 weeks notice.
RDA was a killer at the time at 155 and nobody bought his ppv's.
Nate Diaz never sold ppvs and COnor fought him on 2 weeks notice.
Conor always went after the toughest guys and slept them.
COnor didnt chase the money fight. He went after killers and Conor became the money fight.
FLoyds ppv before conor barely sold 400k buys. Floyd went after the money fight which was Conor.
Conor made money but again boxing floyd was a tough fight. Certainly not easy.
Case after case Conor went after the toughest fights and for the most part beat their ass.
That's the blueprint.
Not the crying like a baby blueprint that Tyrone and some of these other guys are doing. calling out easy fights and all this other nonsense.
These guys cant even hold Conors Jock Strap.
First, learn what a misquote is.Floyd's PPV's before Conor barely broke 400k?
I guess there's not much point to even breaking it down for you.
Tyson defend multiple times against stone cold killers
sure if Conan could defend 2-3 times atleast against Killers then I would be quiet
Why doesn't he come back to fight the interim champion then?
Guys, try and stay on-topic.At least the other champs ATTEMPTED to defend their belt.
Defend or vacate.
What fight did he refuse?No, he just refuses any and all fights where he could potentially lose a belt.
He used an IV for years to fight in a lower weight division, against guys 5 inches shorter than him.
"No camp Mendes" is still Chad Mendes. Conor had a torn knee. He injured it twice in those few months. He had the option of pulling out and rescheduling the Aldo fight. Yet, he chose to fight with a severe injury, against the worst possible style matchup, having done a record amount of pre-fight media, with as much weight on his shoulders as any fighter in history.No camp Mendes = easy fight.
Aldo = Killer champion. Greatest win.
RDA = the chance to win a new belt without risking his own.
No camp Nate = easy fight, still lost it.
Full camp Nate = became the money fight because Conor lost the first. Again, his belt not in line.
Eddie = see RDA above.
Floyd = money fight where everybody with half a brain knew he would lose while making millions anyway. Serves as an excuse to duck the killers at 155.
It's crystal clear Conor only takes risky fights when he has everything to win and nothing to lose.
PS.: Tyron's lame attempts at hand picking opponents and whining while doing it are even worse. At least Conor fights exciting.
How do you know he used IV's for years? He's never missed weight at FW and it's not some sort of anomaly that a fighter cuts a decent chunk of weight to fight in their division. See Cormier, Cerrone, Diaz, Rockhold, Nurmagomedov and others.
Look at Holloway. He's 3 inches taller than him. Oh, wait, I forgot Holloway was only 14 when they fought.
It's funny how the whole height, weight, reach, etc becomes a factor after the fights.
I'm a fan and I follow him because he's simultaneously the best fighter, most exciting fighter, and most entertaining personality in MMA history.How can you still be a fan of a fighter that doesn't fight is beyond me.
At least admit you follow him because he is famous and are no different than a Kardashian family fan.

What are you babbling about?You Conor nuthuggers are so obsessed, you are now making up your own accusations, just so you can defend him.
Nate was an injury replacement and either couldn't make 155 or wanted more money to make 155. It had nothing to do with the title.conor asked for anything at all that wouldnt result in him losing a belt. nate diaz, at welterweight, twice, when nate has been a lightweight for ages? how about leapfrogging everyone at lightweight for a title shot there? that way they only need to strip him if he wins a new belt. how about pissing off to another sport entirely to get his ass beat?
p4p fakest manlet ever
Kid, STFU.
Conor didn't fight him on 2 weeks Notice. He was training and had a full camp. It was MENDES who fought on 2 weeks notice (exactly because Conor chose Mendes - who was out hunting - instead of Frankie - who was in the gym training)
Conor didn't fight Nate on 2 weeks Notice. He was training and had a full camp. It was NATE who fought on 2 weeks notice (exactly because Conor chose Nate - who was out partying on a boat in Cabo - instead of Cowboy - who had just fought and took no damage or Khabib - who was training for a fight two weeks later)
COnor did fight Aldo and would have fought RDA, that is true. but that is ONLY because they held the belt.
You can see how fast Conor run from Frankie, Khabib and Tony.
I mean, you gotta be pretty fucking BLIND to not see the pattern.
COnor chases MONEY. He said that himself.
He does NOT want to fight any tough opponent unless he has something to gain (and almost NOTHING to lose). Like he did with Floyd, Mendes and Nate.
I don't mind him doing that, because he is looking up for himself, but you are too fucking stupid to not see it.
Reason pls.Wasteland pls.
Because Woodley has no power.Woodley asks for money fight challengers but ultimately he actively defends against the no1 contenders.
Conor refuses to defend his belt
Defend or Vacate
