Dana Keeps dodging the "are you gonna fire Conor" question...

[JayE]

Bad PR obviously. If the UFC is supposed to be any kind of legit outfit they have to dump the joker. Have you not noticed the people they have jettisoned in the past ? And some of the reasons they did it for ?

Alot of less serious shit than this. Optics.

Optics don't really matter too much in combat sports. Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson post jail sold generated more money than anyone, and they had drastically more ire directed towards them than McGregor does.

You can’t fire Conor when they wouldn’t even fire Bones and he’s done more dumb shit overall. Especially considering Conor is the biggest draw the UFC has ever had. Why is this question even being asked?

 

[INoHespectChael]

Dana: This is the most disgusting thing that has happened in the history of the sport.
Reporter: Will Conor ever fight for the UFC again?
Dana: Next question...

Because the MMA media is terrible, and the general sports media doesn't understand (or really care much about) MMA.

Really I just think they are creating a ticking time bomb with Conor. His ego will be through the roof if they don't treat him with heavy hands right now and rein him in, he really will believe that he can do anything. Conor will be seeking to expand his money further and the only way he knows how is to push the envelop even further. He will have more legal trouble in the future and UFC will suffer because of it. Mike Tyson-esque trouble or even worse.

Oh well, not my company. For the time being, WME will keep him under contract, low ball him immensely one way or another for his next fight while they try to rake in the millions from it.

McGregor could fight anywhere outside of the US, which the UFC would more than welcome.

Yeah.. no.
UFC want to have a good relationship with the ACs, so they respect their rulings.

 

[INoHespectChael]

Conor can literally attack and injure other UFC employees with weapons and they still won’t fire him.

He’d have to shoot and kill another fighter for Dana to even consider it.

Lol yesterday sherdoggers were so convinced that Conor was going to be fired, was going to be sent to prison, was going to be sued by everyone and left broke and on welfare. That Dee was going to take the baby and leave. That his life was OVER! Finally he was going to get what he deserved!!

Watching reality dawn on some of you goofs today really has been priceless. Thank you.

I agree but not all MMA media is terrible. Conor is fuckn up but hasn’t exceeded Bones on fuckery yet. I hope he gets his shit together and his head shrinks.

I don't have too much hope for that. He has always been an idiot; he just has the clout and resources where it's becoming much more visible. Still, if he decides he still wants to fight he's massively valuable to the UFC (his benefit to the UFC far outweighs any costs related to his stupidity).

 

[MessiJAH]

Dana won't fire him because he can still make money with McGregor before he eventually tells him to fuck off once he's milked him enough.

Yeah, pretty much. Colin will get the "Colin Mcgregor was never my friend" treatment soon then some think.

Agreed, he’s the most valuable fighter the UFC has ever had so he’ll definitely always be in the mix. I’m a big fan of Conor but this shit keeps up I’m done with McNuggets. It’s disappointing even if predicable.

 

[snackgod]

he wont answer it!.


Conor will fight again

he not getting fired cause bellator would sign him tom. like it matter conor never coming back any way.

 

[snackgod]

Khabib better wear a rain coat. A McGregor storm is imminent no doubt about it and Dana is smart enough not to fire him

no way conor could of fought klhabib already and wants nothing to do with that.

 

[NoAbsolutes]

They can’t just shitcan the guy. They lose a lot of money if they do. Not just lose money. But they actually would end up giving it to the competition.

It’s a total catch 22. People have to understand that. They’re fucked no matter what they do. Convict really did them dirty.

Pay him what he wants, force him to fight Khabib or nothing then hire Hellen Keller as a ref, sorry I mean Cecil Peoples. The UFC either gets to paint Connor as the chicken he is or Khabib gets to take his soul.

I've never liked him, but I've always liked watching him fight. Nothing has really changed in my view. I've always known he's a delusional egomaniac with a coke problem, but he's a delusional egomaniac with a coke problem who puts on a decent fight.

I mean you're kind of wearing the man's mugshot as your face so who's to say who has an unhealthy relationship with this news story

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Considering the UFC probably staged the whole thing why would he be in danger of getting fired? Mysteriously Conor McGregor and his boys got all of that security access.. Yeah I’m sure that happened completely on coincidence.

Bravo on the avatar. Bravo...

JUST LOOK AT HOW CIRCLED THAT SECTION IS

the answers are definitely in that circle
