Connor like him.or hate him was a MO ey machine for the UFC and brought the UFC to so many more places And seriously helped grow the sport more than most or maybe anyone in such a short time.

Whether You were a Connor fan or a hater You wanted to watch. Ufc 200 just shit the bed. If they added 2 dream fights say GSP V Diaz and Bones, v. DC it still dosent draw like Connor fighting a can would would let alone DIAZ . Let's be real I am pretty sure that's the card Fans is going for but I doubt he gets GSP .... pretty sure Bones n DC is the main.

Zuffa is losing a ton more than Connor for this and that's why connor tried to strong arm em for MO money as he knew they got much more to lose. But Dana and Lorenzo are looking long term and think if they do this now then everyone will hold them hostage ... they had no choice but to tell Connor to fuck himself.

I do think there will be a,time in the next 2 weeks for both sides to get back together and talk with cooler heads and still be able to work a 200 card. If not Diaz maybe RDA OR COWBOY. But........... I think both sides here are just stupid and prideful to put differences aside.

Lastly on the money. ....... I agree with Connor he is arguably in the top 3 of the fight game as far,as a draw .....with guys,like Canelo #1 but Connor for what he brings should be getting 20 mil a fight until his drawing power fades.

Prediction. UFC 196. Out sells UFC 200. Zuffa cuts off own nose to spite face. I get why Zuffa did it ...just think there was an option c somewhere to be found and it wasn't even looked for.
 
Put down the kool-aid. GSP can draw huge numbers without an annoying persona.
 
I'm confused because you introduced three names in the title that aren't mentioned anywhere in the OP.

Nevermind. I should go to bed.
 
GSP vs Lawler
Cormier vs Jones
Rumble vs Glover

The card would definitely be saved. It would be the best card in UFC history.
 
Lol TS only started watching MMA when Conor came to the UFC.

GSP name alone would sell
 
Even though you misspelled his name many times, I couldn't help but cringe each time you did.

How are people measuring how he's grown the sport? If he stays retired you know what he'll be most famous for? Winning the belt, not defending it, losing, then quitting. Conor has not made me want to watch a card more. I don't buy into matches that shouldn't be happening. I wasn't buying UFC 200 BECAUSE they put him on it.
 
Hey i will be watching it no matter what.

Quit making it like MMA is dependant of Conor
 
Not going to say GSP can't save UFC 200 but Fedor & Jones definitely won't, GSP will draw but probably not as much as McGregor does.
 
If GSP says, fuck it, reebok pay or not, give me Lawler...

you will witness something spectacular and probably avoid Conor's nuts for once....
 
Get real.
I'm being deadly serious, GSP is a helluva draw but there's no proof to suggest he will draw more than McGregor upon his return, he's never done 1.5 or 1.2 million buys as a headliner.
 
haha you are deluded. GSP is much bigger than Conor. Maybe you only became a fan in 2016 so its ok, but yeah GSP is million times bigger.

But his return would generate more interest, now that he's been out for some time, and after what some call his controversial win over Hendricks.
 
Nobody outside of Conor and Nate's accountant wanted that rematch. If Conor walks, in 6 mos a year no one will care.

Would casuals really remember that? There's a lot of variables and they're used to McGregor & Rousey who are exciting fighters whereas GSP kind of went decision crazy towards the end of his career. There's still nothing to suggest he can out draw McGregor.
 
1) Conor didn't bring the UFC more mainstream media attention than Ronda

2) Nobody gives a damn about Conor vs Diaz 2. Why does he deserve a raise for getting choked out?
