Most drawn out storyline in UFC history???

[Lionheart7167]

We've been talking about Conor's return and the Chandler fight now for literally years.

Which got me thinking. Is this the most drawn out storyline arc we've ever seen involving the UFC?

I'm sure there are lots of others, but I don't know if they've remained a top news story for as long as the Conor/Chandler debacle.

If so, let's hear em.

Maybe Jon Jones return? Maybe some shit from back in the day involving Tito?

Jones Ngannou and Stipe never happened but were hyped up and drawn out for a very long period of time, mainly due to Jones Bible study and church commitments

El Cucuy vs. Khabib

El Cucuy vs. Khabib

wasn't that fight made and cancelled like 4 different times or something. I remember Ferg tripping on a cable or something at one point.

Such a shame, that fight would have been insane if those two fought at their peaks

UFC Creative needs to take some notes from WWE

Fedor coming to the ufc went on for what felt like a decade

Figgy/Moreno? I guess most weren't talking about it but it was drawn out.

 

[HHJ]

It isnt much of a storyline.


Yes they try to make the fight but until Conor no showed the press conference there has really been little to no activity...and that no show was just a more alarming event, of no activity.

yes indeed, I think Khabib would of grapple fucked him but Prime Tony probably had the best chance of making him bleed

Unquestionably, no doubt whatsoever.....

The Dana / Ariel feud.

Would it be hilarious or tragic if Chandler finally fought Conor and it did a normal number of buys and there was no huge pay day?

 

[Corrado Soprano]

The UFC fighter pay saga. No matter what these fighters get paid it will never be enough. It was a big deal that UFC 300 handed out $300k performance bonuses. It seems like a lot but not when you factor in that one hand of blackjack for Dana is more than that.

Fedor would of creamed Lesnar....Would of wiped that smug look off Dana's face
