The UFC is going to show Mcgregor who really runs things and strip his belt.

[Tormund]

They have like 500 fighter under contract, the show will go on.

The show will go on but it will be like 2014 which was a terrible year compared to 2015 where they had 2 stars.

 

[discrawg]

Name 1 star they have with Ronda MIA and McGregor not on UFC 200?

 

[Tormund]

Gifs because no relevant argument, that's cool.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

Yep, just ask Mike Tyson.

Just ask MC Hammer to please don't hurt em

PPVs speak for stardom not skills dumbass.

People watched it to see Diaz beat McQuickTap.

That's why sherbros watch it, don't get sherdog confused with every person who buys a PPV, because then you're just one step away from narcissism.

No fighter is bigger than an organisation. Sad thing is he's going to burn bridges with the company. No retirement job or analyst role. I still think this is all bull shit and will resolve itself, but if things go the way there going, Conor is fucking things up for himself in the long run. Wouldn't be surprised is Dana just can's all the SBG fighters out of spite like he tried to do with the AKA guys back in the day.

Dude got way too big headed and as much of a draw as he is the UFC won't risk losing control of the rest of the fighters and will make an example of him. They will strip his belt and crush him just to prove who is boss.

And this turns you on obviously.

 

[Jarvan]

I'm pretty sure that if you retire that is standard procedure.

 

[sprucelees]

stripping him of the title would have been more significant if he has actually defended it. Example, if Aldo still had the title till this day and got stripped of it

 

[WalterSobchak]

Agree with TS. Belt strip amd Aldo/Edgar for real title. Watch they will anoounce it soon.

[Ramificatio]

What part of retired does OP not understand? UFC cand do jack shit to McGregor. He just tossed UFC and went on with life.

 

[Paynebringer]

If they do that 2016 will be a bad year, they have no stars without McGregor.

And before Conor there was nothing I take just a empty wasteland..?

To me? I don't make the PPV buys go up to 1 million so no not me, go and look at 2014, the reason they signed CM Punk was because 2014 was a terrible year! Don't cry at the bitter truth

Conor is nothing, he is just a human, nothing more than that. UFC will flush his ass down the river and he is not even 00000000.1% of UFC. they were doing amazing before he came, and they will do amazing when he is gone. Conor aint no God, UFC is the God in all of this. in few years when he has run of of money he will come begging back to fight.

I agree that Conor isn't bigger than the UFC like he seems to think, and he's probably gonna come crawling back like you said. But I have to disagree that UFC was "doing amazing". Obviously they weren't going bankrupt or anything, but they were in a slump for a while there, just before Conor really took off. Buyrates were pretty much in he toilet, and they weren't getting a lot of play in the mainstream media. Dana was so desperate that he actually signed CM Punk ffs. Conor brought a lot of interest, he singlehandedly drove up ratings and buyrates, there's a reason he got whatever he wanted including the most ridiculous instant rematch of all time. I guess he just got too greedy for his own good and that's what lead to the current situation.

 

[Sean Long]

How do you figure? They were shooting themselves in the foot by letting Conor book this fight at 170. They were shooting themselves in the foot if they let Conor duck out of his press obligations. Conor doesn't make more money for the UFC than Jones and Rousey combined or than many three fighter combinations. So why would they let Conor walk all over them. They'd be shooting themselves in the foot for all negotiations with all stars now and in the future. Conor isn't the biggest thing that will ever happen in the sport.

The UFC made the previous at 170 because they believed Cloner would run through Nate.......opps............
