Media It was coming… Conor Mcgregor has started bad mouthing the UFC to promote BKFC

[VinceArch]

Conor is basically the new Rampage.

 

[jooohnmatrix]

The ufc changed his bum life and khabib gave him a red burqa night. So ungrateful.

 

[Poirierfan]

I actually love grappling but holding against the cage is fucking awful and is often just plain stalling. He's not totally wrong, stalling against the cage is horrible to watch. Sure the onus is on the guy against the cage to escape but it's supposed to be a FIGHT.

Yellow cards pride style, something to break that shit up.

All the problems could be fixed with common sense, but for whatever reason they stay unchanged year after year. It's infuriating because you know how much better the UFC could be with just a few changes. The only logical reason is that Dana's a fucking idiot. Instead of fixing anything we all got slap fighting, just brilliant.

 

[Poirierfan]

Bare knuckle is absolutely much more exciting on average, but its also comparatively bush league talent wise and the core concept is nowhere near as interesting or deep as MMAs. The best bare knuckle guys cant lay claim to being the best all round fighters on the planet, the best strikers on the planet or the best boxers on the planet. Shit, they cant even lay claim to being the best bare knuckle boxers tbh because everybody knows scores of guys from other combat sports could walk in there tomorrow with no BK training and clean house.

BKFC reminds me big time of early UFC.

Conor is basically the new Rampage.

1) dumb as shit
2) has legions of fans who think he's witty and funny when he's never been either of those things
3) publicly embarrassed himself repeatedly

You might be on to something.

All he needs is a giant truck with his own picture on it.

In a lot of ways yeah. I think it lacks the potential for growth/evolution on a technical level compared to where MMA was at in those days though.

The quality of the UFC has dropped but not because of grapplers(we all know Conor is allergic to grapplers). It's more to do with piss poor recruiting (contender series) and being cheap imo. The talent (for the most part), the rule set, and the judging are shit.

From what I can remember from back in the early 80's, Contender Series really isn't that much different than the old Friday Night Fights of boxing in the early 80's. Contender Series is a more streamlined, efficient and cheaper way of ending up in the same place that TUF (or Looking For A Fight) did. I do find it Interesting that it's Dana White's Contender Series instead of being UFC branded.

TUF was a more original concept, corny and trashy, but early seasons were interesting. The novelty fell off fast, but TUF and Spike certainly were a massive hit at the time for the UFC.

When will he fight?
I am done with all his talk.

He will 100% be frozen out.

I would actually love a public Conor McGregor vs Dana White feud. Fuck em both.

Oh hell yes. And you just know Colby will white-knight Dana's ass and try to score a Conor fight.

This.

I think this is gonna culminate with conor fighting Mike Tyson bare knuckle after his ufc contract expires

Not going to lie, the thought of a full-force bare knuckle Tyson uppercut to Conor's chin...

I thought there is a time limit on contracts now even if they never fought out all of the fights? Maybe the time pauses if he turns down fights or is injured though.

I don't know if Conor's contract specifically has a sunset clause, but I highly doubt the UFC would have left him an out they could have closed.

The time definitely pauses for a wide variety of reasons, and I have a link on my laptop about an article publlished with means the UFC uses to extend contracts. At some point during the Ant-trust lawsuit proceedings, contracts were changed, but I don't know if Conor's was.

Right now, the UFC will keep Conor under contract as long as they can. He's more valuable to the UFC not fighting than he is fighting.

Conor fucks up in the public eye, Dana claims degrees of seperation. Conor does something newsworthy, he's a UFC fighter. Conor's (bad) behaviour puts microphones in front of Dana and Hunter, and generates water-cooler talk in MMA circles. IF he fights in the UFC, he makes them money. If he's not fighting for the UFC, Conor can't go fight elsewhere. Conor can try wasting his own money pursuing the legal route, but the will go broke long before the UFC does.

Dana is a petty, childish man, and there is no way he will set Conor free if he has any control over it.

 

[El Fernas]

He owes the UFC 2 fights i believe, he is tied with the UFC till the end of time unless he fights those 2 fights, the UFC would be willing to "co-promote" (basically allow Conor) Conor vs Perry in BKFC?? To see if Conor is so happy to compete in the "better" sport? The better rule set that doesnt benefit holding to the cage like we have seen a couple of examples recently, like a big "shut the fuck up, fight there if its so much better" then

can't get over what? being massively more successful, making more money than khabib?

Successful and making more money in this case are not related to each other, there are plenty of fighters who are world class, not talking MMA only, they dont always make huge sums of money, he is an MMA guy and his big money break came from going over to Boxing, and lost btw, Khabib on the other hand, respected as LW GOAT candidate, retired undefeated and while still being champion, what did Conor do? vacates belt and only returned to MMA to lose again and again, all by some form of stoppage, becoming a fool while at it, i mean, the guy had a broken leg and was yelling shit to his opponent´s family...Conor cant in fact get over Khabib beating him to this day, he doesnt waste an opportunity to mention them, does Khabib ever mentions Conor? Thats the one that is more successful...

 

[Neck&Neck]

Mcgregor is a promotional monster though, if any single fighter could ever even remotely threaten the UFC it’s him.

Yeah but He couldnt even show up to fight a bloated Chandler
Dana ain’t scured

 

[Tapatio]

Mcgregor is claiming that UFC fights are boring because of wrestling, claims it’s just the brand name that’s keep the organization going and not actual good fights.

Talks about BKFC being better. If people couldn’t see Mcgregor turning on UFC and UFC turning on Mcgregor, dunno what to tell ya.







"Bare Knuckle is where it’s at. The future! And the future is now. There is zero feeling of an event dragging on that is ever so prevalent in today’s MMA... No room for stalling or escaping collision/impact. It's sink or swim time in bare knuckle. Nowhere to hide. The nastiest, craziest, wildest sport in today's market."

 

[Poirierfan]

I 100% agree.

It’s not easy to change rules/laws.

You can’t even get sherdoggers to agree whether or not cage stalling is a good thing.
Common sense won’t solve anything.

UFC about to do an "All Mcgregor's losses" compilation on their YouTube channel.

He has to take it to the next level, so his will be a plane with his picture on it that crashes into a pride rally or something. No fatalities, but he'll take credit for saving lives regardless.

The recruiting is fine. Its how easy it is for those guys to get to ufc. They havent been tested by any seasoned competition. That's why its important to have a big leagues for these other guys to go.

 

[theincognito]

That quote doesn't even mention BKFC. It sounds a lot more like he's calling for changes to stop stalling against the cage.

I don't think Dana choosing fighters based on only dramatic conclusions is the best idea for who to sign. Lol

I've watched that contender series, several times he passes up on way better talent than the ones that get signed, it's ridiculous. There's no consideration on how good the opponent might be, just finishes.

 

[M.A.G.A.]

Fighting in a boxing ring could solve this problem, like Pride FC
