LW is insane right now... Conor is taking time off... how about a tournament?

[xMaxPower]

Make the incentive big. Winner gets a million dollars. Winner also fights Conor. This tournament will make their fight with Conor HUGE.

Lee vs Cucuy.
Pettis vs Poirier.
Gaethje vs Alvarez.
Barboza vs Khabib.



The greatest tournament in history.

If nate got to fight conor, and get a lot of money he would for sure. That new tournament sounds better though.

How about conor just defends his fucking title

It's that simple.

Hes not even champ anymore, Floyd is but he ain't coming to the u f c for chump change.

 

[Gilday]

Or the "champion" could just defend his title like everyone else has to

 

[Typrune Goatley]

They won't officially call it a tournament but we as fans could treat those matchups as such.

Replace Nate (and maybe Khabib too) with a more realistic opponent and you got a deal.

Strip Mcgregor, let him fight his way up lw like he should have in the first place, then pick any two top lw, have them fight and give the winner the belt. A tourney would only create a mess for future title shots as everybody would be butt hurt over who gets the next one.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Replace Nate with Barboza and it's perfect.

 

[FATM]

Let all the top contenders fight each other so McGregor doesn't have to fight them all.

 

[Fatal Catro]

Conor and Nate can keep fighting and have their own belt.

 

[xMaxPower]

Replace Nate with Barboza and it's perfect.

I agree. Way more realistic.

 

[daydaystyles]

Sounds way better than Conor defending. Doesn't it?

Conor WILL not fight the rightful contender. Please. I respect that's how you may want it or expect it as I want it myself but even mentioning Conor in a tournament context or meritocratic way is giving him the respect he doesn't deserve. Please make posts about topics which are useful. I am shocked you don't know Conor yet.

 

[Oeshon]

just strip him of the belts if he won't defend.

 

[UhHuhSure]

Conor should be stripped, makes no sense he doesnt defend the belt and gets to keep stalling.

I guarantee you Dana would pay Floyd huge amounts of money to get slaughtered in 2 secs just to prove a point

but you're right no chance in hell would Floyd crossover
