Dana White: "Conor remains main event, undecided whether it will be for an interim belt"

Cliffs:

• Conors reaction to RDA pulling out:

"When we told Conor, he said, 'Come on! This [expletive] guy! Oh my God! He's pulling out?' " White said. "But when we went through the options, he said he'd fight any of them.

"I swear to God, he said, 'I'll fight anyone.' He just doesn't give a [expletive]. People talk about this strained relationship between us and Conor, and he has a different style than I've ever seen, but I have never seen anyone like Conor. The closest was Chuck Liddell, but we've never had one like Conor. You think he's not hurt? But when he says he's going to fight, he's going to fight no matter what."

• Dana also denies Khabib asking for the fight, says it is just Ali AbdelAziz being a lying rat as usual.

"Ali is so full of [expletive]," White said. "What are we going to do, Khabib hasn't fought in two years and we're going to bring him in to save the show? Besides, Khabib has a fight and we gave that to Fox. It's amazing, to be honest with you. All of these managers are out there jockeying and they say they want to fight Conor. You hear these guys screaming, 'Conor, Conor, Conor,' but then when it comes time to take a fight, they turn it down and they're hurt."

Interim belt? lmao....

 

[Toco]

interim????

fuck you dana

 

[Just Creed]

Interim belt, what a fucking joke

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Interim vs Nate - Might be his only chance to own some form of UFC gold.

 

[CountOfSoCal]

They will go to any extent, no matter how asinine, to give Conor another belt.

 

[Verace]

Confirmed: Dana really is conors bitch.

 

[podsox]

Conor is never going to stop making fun of Frankie and aldo for this

 

[AMST Vallon]

Why is an interim belt even being considered what the fuck

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

for the LW Interim belt? no way man, the guy has not even had 1 fight in LW. very wrong if its for the belt

 

[IWANTTOTRAINUFC]

Interim? Seriously! He just defended in December! Either let Conor defend his belt, or fight Lawler in regards to a championship. Otherwise just keep it a fun fight. Don't create that bullshit

 

[b34stmode]

If he does interm belt I will not pay for the event and might stop watching any PPVS all together. That has to be the biggest bunch of bullshit ever if he does it.

 

[fbgn]

lulz this is like dan severn's belt mart

 

[subhuman trash]

Lmao another fake belt for Conor. Anything to have him hold two at once, right?

Dana is making the UFC look like a complete joke. RDA can't stand on his foot for at least 3 weeks, so here's your interim belt, Conor, my special boy.

 

[Takamine86]

Conor deserves the interim, just count all the LWs he has beaten.

 

[IBeLurkin]

Interim title?? RDA just fought two months ago. Disgusting how they cater to McGregor...

 

[LouisBolanos]

Called it. Conor will try to force the interim belt on the UFC. Simple logic: only a championship fight can headline over another championship fight. The headliner is billed as a superfight. Can't have a superfight without 2 champions or 2 mega draws, and there are no mega draws at LW.

Interim belt would be an awesome way to rub it in RDA's face.

Interim title?? RDA just fought two months ago. Disgusting how they cater to McGregor...

Beat him to stop the hype then, don't pull out 2 weeks before then. Anything but cry and whine when Conor is the one who shows up on fight night.

 

[Ironman70.3]

Oh come on. That is just pathetic.

 

[podsox]

can cowboy drop 19 pounds?

 

[RondaDrowsy]

lol at interim belt. fuckin dana is a GOOF.
