Dana White: I wouldnt let anyone else but Conor hold 2 belts.

[Cry0Therapy737]

Yeah, he was just some juice-scrub from fake wrestling. All marketing. It wasn't like he was one of the greatest NCAA HW wrestlers in history or anything.

I was talking about CM Punk.

 

[Fallout King]

Conor blew his knee out planting his foot. pretty sure that's a fact.

Mighty Mouse shows up multiple times a year.

Mighty Mouse isn't white enough to be a draw according to shertards.

 

[HHJ]

Im glad he said that,because its the truth. Wether its wrong or right is really a point of view. If someone is making that much money for the company,youd change the rules or throw the rules out of the window,but it does suck for guys like Aldo,who wasnt allowed to do that when he wanted. ( and thus depriving the fans of some really great fights)

 

[philweed]

You can't argue with Dana. I didn't think Edgar would turn down the fight but he did. I didn't think Aldo would turn down a rematch, but HE did, too. There's speculation that RDA could have fought, yet he pulled out. Fucking fighters bitch about their pay but when the big payday is offered, they puss out.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Talking about CM Punk.

He was clearly signed out of desperation and now they don't need him.

I think the complete lack of a rush to get CM Punk in the Octagon shows a lack of desperation.

Probably because they're not desperate anymore.

When they signed CM Punk in 2014 Conor and Ronda hadn't broke out as people who could sell 1 million or close to 1 million PPV's, the most purchased fight in 2014 was Weidman/Machida and it did under 600,000 buys, they had a terrible year in 2014 and then when Conor and Ronda blew up they had their most profitable year ever.

If they didn't have Ronda or Conor then CM Punk would have definitely fought last year but they have them now, at least Conor I believe Ronda is done and now they have no use for CM Punk.

DW needs to take out Conor's dick from his mouth.

You're completely right that they needed stars. But when they signed a guy with that potential they didn't use him, even though they had a terrible year. So I think we agree that they signed Punk because they saw him as potentially a huge draw, but they did not force him into action before he was ready, which would have been the desperate thing to do.

Looks bad on the part of the UFC picking and choosing who can and cannot be champions.

The UFC is becoming a lot like the WWE. Part of the reason people are losing interest.

 

[Bagatur]

of course he does. this means fighters from 2 divisions to fight Conor. this means more money.

I wasn't aware we were concerned with that in this thread.

I know I'm not.

 

[yellowishtint]

He has to, Conor is sleeping with Uncle Frank. Suckbuddies. Etc.

 

[Tycho]

At least he's honest

 

[MusterX]

Enough of this shit.

McGregor vs GSP at UFC 200. His fans claim he is the GOAT. Then at least beat a guy legitimately in the convo.

This is the only fight to make anymore. Nothing else sells near as many views.

Say you're sorry Dana. You were a douche. We get it. GSP will pat your bald head, give you a smack on the ass, and tell you to smarten up ( you don't get his riddum ). All is forgiven.

Bring the fight the whole world REALLY wants to see.

Super fights... it doesn't get much more super than GSP vs Any other champion. Especially, Conor and his shit talk.

LOL, holy shit at McGregor being legitimately in the conversation for GOAT. You guys are certifiably insane.

 

[WendalClark17]

If I had a group of 40 salesman working for me, and one of them made me 10x more than any of the others, you're damn right I would be giving them special treatment.

Suck it up Conor hating crybabies, this is business.

 

[Fallout King]

It's a universal truth in combat sports. Black fighters always get shafted and hated,

True and most fighters fight 2 times a year why should they get more money? At least Aaron Rodgers, Kobe and other athletes from diff sports are seen doing their thing many times a year
