Does Conor choose his Co-Main Event now?

[KB Warrior]

Last time it was Weidman and Rockhold and this time its Holly and Miesha. Both are excellent co-mains that should help sell the card and boost the numbers for Conor.

Do you think that behind the scenes Conor has a hand in who gets put on his card so he can make the most money possible? It seems like he has the leverage to do this if he wants.

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

....no

 

[chitoortiz]

It wouldnt' surprise me.

After all the UFC is the Ultimate Fighting Conor.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

No, but he certainly chooses the main event.

 

[Luger]

He can't get Croke Park through, but he is controlling everything else?

 

[conorbless1]

No, otherwise Artem Lobov would be the co-main

 

[Capt Lunatic]

Yes because when you think PPV buys, WMMA is the next logical thought.

 

[Toco]

"boost numbers"

if anything, holly should thank on her knees that shes on mcgregor's show

 

[Frankel]

To be fair, after Conor the next biggest draw is Holly's last opponent.

I think the smart folks over at Zuffa purposefully pick marketable fighters and put them on cards with Conor to get them exposure since he's most likely their biggest draw.

Yeah,but her father is thouroughly against those kind of rituals regarding false idols / other gods.

Genuine question...

How do you go to all those events? They're all over the place. Do you work in the industry or something? Or are you like one of those baseball nuts that have a goal to see every baseball stadium?

Holly AND Miesha

 

[The lord of bones]

How could you forget to mention this?

 

[KO Face]

No, otherwise Artem Lobov would be the co-main

I came here to say this.

Artem vs Frankie K-1 rules lol

This is exactly what they do, they want to expose fighters to the casual fans they normally wouldn't see to help them gain a following. Having at least 10 million new viewers exposed to them per fight will make their numbers MUCH larger the next time they fight if they perform. Its a large part of why Conor is worth 20 million a fight.

 

[Tugboat]

He tells Dana who its going to be, and bitch best get it right.

 

[777 Others]

No

 

[Cheapshart]

I thought Conor said that he wanted Holly on the card at the first press conference? Did I imagine that?! (very likely, tbf)

I love seeing MMA events live brother

Only east coast shows for me. Anything within 8-9 hours and I'm there .

Nothing quite like a live UFC show
