Speculation: Nate vs Conor for 165 strap

[blaseblah]

Nate was gifted the title shot against Bendo, he shouldn't be getting another one.

Nate earned it by beating Cerrone and Miller.

Sadly that is a possibility, then they could just let Conor hold onto that belt in a weight division they instituted just for him

Edit: I would like to see the rubber match between Nate and Conor; their fights were very entertaining but it shouldn't be for a title.

If there is a 165lb weightclass... Khabib just goes there... I've been saying this and idk why Conor fans think that's his solution lol

he just wouldn't defend against Khabib. Conor likes winning belts not defending them.

If it’s anything other than GSP vs Convict. It would literally take all of the bullshit of the last few years. All rolled up in a ball, and trump all of it by fuckery.

I’m saying it now.

If the UFC signs Convict vs Nate for an inaugural belt. I will walk away and never return. This is my final stance. And the UFC’s last chance. I’ve been watching for well over a decade. But nothing could be worse than this.

Does my last sentence express my displeasure at even thinking about that kind of bullshit ?

Edited for spelling mistake.

The UFC, especially under the new ownership, would gladly trade one hardcore fan for a few fair weather casuals who don't know the rules and can't name more than 5 fighters (and that 5 probably includes Ronda, Brock and Chuck Liddell).

It isn't a good long term strategy, but "long term" doesn't seem to be a part of their strategy.

McGregor vs Diaz III
Conor boldly takes on a guy Tree times da size of him!!! For the third time! This time is for keeps.... and a brand new shiny made up belt!!

Watch the suckers line up. It'll break PPV records. This is the new reality, sadly.

If the reports of the UFC trying to do an IT WW title fight vs RDA, than this isn’t much of a stretch at all.

I like Conor, but I'm not delusional, this is 100% fact.

You've heard about the new 165 mens weight division title right?

Link?

Or are you just going with the rumour?

 

[IrritatedTomcat]

Wha... why? They already have too many weight divisions to care about and too many meaningless champions.

I'm ok with filling in the couple big bumps in weight and that's it.

Anything except Khabib after that stunt makes Conor look terrible. What is interesting is that Conor was 'shook up' according to reports after the incident, as he simply had no idea that it would be a big deal, as he got away with stuff like that in the past. It sounds like it may have been a kinda of PR move but went wrong and now Conor absolutely has to fight him or be left looking like an idiot and a fool.
