Does the Vince Mcmahon / WWE issues as well as Conor only having 2 fights left on his contract play into the UFC releasing Conor?

[SpiderFan187]

As we know the WWE and UFC are under the one umbrella and they were rocked with the Vince Scandal recently and have distanced themselves from him and have said to be making an effort to improve that culture. As such will the higher ups be looking at this and thinking the same regarding Conor or will it be the UFC as we know protecting their money makers (even though with Conor there's maybe 2 events left for him)

If they had him locked away for a longer term i will think they would look past it without question but i think now they are at the least questioning it.

"Come on out, you rapis t"

Very different situation since Vince was the majority owner and operator of the company. Conor isn't an active fighter just a instagram mouth piece. He had no plans to fight in the UFC and I would imagine that will stick.

Who the hell knows?
I have a hard time seeing Conor in the cage again.
It has nothing really to do with this case, well it did not help.
But he dont seem to really want it.
Ask Chandler.

I dont think he will fight again.

And the UFC?
Watch them not say a word about this case.

 

[drphil]

I don't think conor will fight in ufc and will battle it out in courts to get out of his contract.

He'll try to pull a Francis so he can fight in bkfc.
I hope he somehow does because I have no interest in seeing him in the Octagon again.

And the UFC?
Watch them not say a word about this case.

I can't wait to see Dana put on the spot about it. He's gonna flail. Will probably dodge the question and segue into "Jon Jones walks out of every room he enters!"

Watch Vince get pardoned and return to TKO

 

[WillyWarminski]

Conor said in a tweet, something like "time to train for a fight". Surely he wouldn't say it if it wasn't true.

Watch Vince get pardoned and return to TKO

Linda would have to approve it, which cuts back on the odds considerably.

Watch Vince get pardoned and return to TKO

Isn't Linda Mac hired by Trump for some position in his cabinet,
and hasn't Linda officialy divorced him?

 

[skylolow]

UFC isn't going to let Conor go.

Conor is the only person that can move the needle without the UFC promoting him.

Now if TKO Holdings bought the BKFC they may let Conor fight there like he wants to do.

When has the UFC ever done the moral thing?

 

[rjmbrd]

Dana White slapped his wife, in public, on camera.

Jon Jones literally drunk drove his car into a pregnant women, then fled the scene. This is the funniest thread of the day so far.

If Dana could make a nickel having disabled children fight, he would book it. Conor isn't going anywhere until he's not a draw.

 

[NoSmilez]

I don't think so. Conor has his own issues. He wants to get released so he can do his own thing.

If it was a private company, perhaps.

If wins still had majority shares, perhaps.

Vince has absolutely no say left. Not to mention, TKO stock has gone up about 70% since Vince stepped down.

Linda would have to approve it, which cuts back on the odds considerably.

She hasn't been involved with WWE since 2009, it seems.

Isn't Linda Mac hired by Trump for some position in his cabinet,
and hasn't Linda officialy divorced him?

She's up to lead the Department of Education. Kind of funny considering all the rumblings of that department being dissolved. Looks like she and Vince are separated.

Dude's sitting on billions in cash from stock sales, couldn't he buy his way back in?

Linda would have to approve a pardon for Vince. Not legally speaking, of course, but politically and practically speaking there's no way a pardon happens without her say so.

 

[VinceArch]

Dana is on video slapping his wife and after that happened, he promptly stated he "isn't going anywhere." They won't release Conor, they won't reprimand him and if they do address it, it'll be glossed over as quickly as possible before reminding you that Power Slap is on Rumble.

they won't do it because of morals or etichs but at this point they could think the bad press isn't worth it, they can maybe squeeze out one high selling ppv but that's it, i don't see conor winning any high level fight anymore, he's getting old and he's obviously not serious about his training, maybe TKO will find it more profitable in the end to cut ties now, probably not because they're greedy fucks who seems to plan for the long term, but you never now
