FW title win: McGregor or Topuria?

[humdizzle]

Conor

Aldo was dominating his competition at the time.
Volk had a split decision win over max and had just been KOd by Islam.

Topuria just needs 1 defense and he's ahead of Conor in terms of FW goats though.

 

[HHJ]

I mean they were both great.

But Conor had to eat a blow to get that one. Just happened to be first. One of those things could happen to anyone, but seldom does it happen so fast.

Topuria just ran over Volk in that final exchange.

We can also examine the mental and physical

Aldo had been on top a long time

Volk had been on top a long time

Volk had to be physically and mentally affected by the KO loss to Islam

Aldo has to a least be mentally affected by the year long media scrums with Conor, and the entire promotional weight of the company against him.

So I guess it's anyones pick really.

I think less people expected Aldo to go out like that.

 

[Harlekin]

That 1 Conor vs Aldo promo cost more than the entire Volk vs Topuria Promo

The UFC isn't in the building megastars business anymore.
Because those leave the UFC for movies, boxing, WWE and business.

The UFC wants 10 big stars and 0 superstars

Otherwise they get drug addicted movies guys and purple pillows

Half of the guys who get the belt, sit out for 9 months to get surgery or milk their champ status for sponsors and ads.

Adesanya made bank, now he is waiting
Jones angles for the easier money fight
Poirier took the BSD fight like a warrior, but he was trying for a money fight
Chandler - wants the money fight
Nate Diaz - sat around waiting for money fights
Nick Diaz - tried, still got 3 of them, just failed every time

Islam talks about leaving soon


The sport is too hard and as soon as people make money or clout, they try to get out

 

[El Fernas]

Its Conor, he put away a guy with a 10 year run undefeated, division's GOAT with 1 punch, he took one too but his landed perfectly, Topuria's was nice but cant beat what Conor did, just cant.

 

[JKS]

Conors win was more impressive. Ilia got the KO, but it was a competitive fight and Volk won the first round.

Better to use your leverage than not.
