If Conor loses how screwed is the UFC?

Triller has been killing it lately and the YouTuber fight scene is dominating all the headlines. Askren getting destroyed and Woodley making the biggest payday of his life are terrible optics. Dana's hostility towards the Paul brothers suggests he is deeply concerned.

If Conor loses and retires the UFC could be in serious trouble. People will say "The UFC will be survive, it always has" but the landscape is changing rapidly and this YouTube thing isn't going away, the UFC could become the new myspace if they don't adapt.

every one said that when hughes left. than it when randy left. than it was when chuck left. than it was when ronda left. the ufc can always replaxe stars as time goes along.
 
What a ridiculous thread. This youtube boxing thing happens every few months. And the novelty has a shelf life. The UFC has fights almost every week. Conor has fought 3 times in going on 5 years (losing 2/3). But, this Conor fan TS thinks the UFC will die without him?

Horrible take. I think he is just looking for attention.
 
The UFC has evolved enough to be greatly popular without Conor, sureConor helps a lot but there are new developing superstars now like O’Malley, Chimaev, Adesenya, Till and previously Masvidal
 
Nothing will happen. Conor retired multiple times already. It would be a big loss obviously, but that loss is nowhere close to create that big of a problem. Triller is a joke, the only thing they had was Jake Paul and he's moving to showtime now. And Mike Tyson just also stated he will never work with Triller again, so that's it for Triller 'fight club'.

The worst thing that can happen is the UFC getting involved with the whole youtuber/social fighting.
 
UFC has been doing just fine without Conman

Not sure why MookGregor fans still think Conman is UFC
 
Super Sage needs to come back and carry the company on his broad, rippling shoulders
 
It'll mean they make less money than they could have done, but the business is solid as fuck.
 
Every mega star is literally gone in the UFC. (Conor soon)

Nothing ever happens, just a little less PPV buys.
 
Only casuals think the UFC will sink when Conor is out of the picture. Conor isn't the be all end all of MMA you goofs.
 
They were doing just fine when Conor was taking welfare in his parents attic
 
Triller has been killing it lately
{<jordan}

Triller is running itself into the ground, did you miss all the rage they had about illegal streamers?
That company will cease to exist in the next 5 years (being generous).

How much money they're bringing in is only a fraction of how much they're spending on these absurd events.


Also UFC will be fine without Conor, just like how theyve been fine without Brock, Ronda, or GSP.

LOL!
 
Back in the day, the UFC was about competitors from very different backgrounds fighting, some of which were “freak show fights” with big size mismatches potentially. As the sport has grown the UFC has focused more on legitimizing MMA and it’s resulted in very well matched, well balanced, equally skilled fighters competing (generally speaking of course).

Triller, The Pauls, and to a lesser extent the recent Tyson fight have embraced the “WTF is going to happen here” aspect that the UFC use to have.

I’m not saying the UFC should abandon their current system, but I’m sure they could benefit greatly in some of these “WTF” type fights, and possibly even one night tournaments.
There's a demand for 'WTF fights' but that's not the UFC's bread and butter. I'm sure they are open to someone coming from that background coming into the UFC though.

The UFC doesn't need to be a monopoly on all forms of unarmed combat. They have a lane and they dominate it.

Just give it some time, someone that understands what the people want will come along and give it to them. A Quality product takes time.
 
We should apply 2020 formula.
If UFC managed to survive 2020, then they will surely survive Conor's 4th loss under their banner.
