This is all planned....

[weaponzero2k2]

Connor and the UFC planned this all along to get him off the UFC 200 card and on the UFC New York card. They had to think of way to get Connor off the card and not look like he's ducking Diaz. another loss to Diaz would take more off Connor's shine than what is already lost... Also Dana was "supposed" to make a announcement for UFC 200 that would "blow our socks off" and it that must have fell through (GSP). Connor will defend his 145 belt on the New York card.
The UFC and Connor are the master of smoke and mirrors and things are not what they seem and here are some things to consider:
* Why would you build a guy up so much ...just to tear him down
* This is NOT really about money...do you know how much the UFC makes off Connor?? 10 mil is a drop in the bucket
* Dana says he the UFC still has a good relationship with Connor and money has destroyed many a relationship ( see Floyd Mayweather/Bob Arum)
* The UFC has gave up on the 200 card in favor of focus of a New York card

I am not fooled... Nor am I buying into this hype...I am just tired of it all. I miss the days when the UFC would put on good fights and we would tune in and watch. The UFC has damaged the sport of MMA with its lack of structure and discipline... Fighters work hard to get title shots and are promised them only to be brushed aside by a fighter that can TALK his way into a title shot without really earning the shot. Fighters work hard to earn their pay others come in and within a year get 10x those blue collar fighters make etc.. there is much more but I will stop there for time sake...I just tired of it all...not giving up on MMA I just want them to fix it.

Well they messed up then, cause it for sure looks a lot like he is ducking Diaz, specially if he comes back by the end of the year.

Quit demonizing fighters who know how to self promote. It isn't hard to take some acting classes and get a witty friend to feed you lines to go on twitter.

Someone made this exact thread like 6 times already.

 

[HHJ]

I cant wait till more is revealed and all the conspiracy theorists are flustered and gotten to like this guy

 

[DaGenius]

This is all hype...I agree with that basic premise

 

[Candy Routure]

Makes more sense to have Georges on the NY card, being from Montreal..

 

[LiLoMMA]

It's real to me dammit

 

[McSpikes]

Lol gotta love these conspiracies

[Primitivo]

If it was as planned as your birth we sure are fucked.

 

[High Altitude]

and will book GSP vs Conor for the New York card.

Imo of course.

Conor and the UFC are counting the money already.

 

[Zarra]

This doesn't make any sense.

 

[ortizgnp]

GSP would kill Connie so making that fight would kill the sport.


So, no.

 

[Coolidge]

There would be no momentum for such a matchup without him first beating Nate Diaz. It would be laughable with the win, much less without it.

 

[Akabignasty]

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Not sure about that.

Would be a bizarre match-up.

GSP in a lop-sided wrestlerape-fest.

Would look like a gay porn.

[Venom]

The one thing more annoying than overzealous Conor nuthuggers is the knee jerk conspiracy theorist.

Why don't you go ahead and admit you think Mendes and Aldo took a dive.

Dana White is a master of smoke and mirrors, Conor is a master of trash/shit talk.
Conor pretty much built himself up, the UFC was/is riding the cash wave.
It is about money for Conor, it is about money for the UFC
UFC/Dana probably got tired of Conor trying to run the show. People have probably been convincing him the Diaz fight is complete bullshit because he will lose anyway.
If the UFC puts him on the NY card against another opponent, Conor will have, in fact, ducked Diaz. No ifs, ands or buts about it.
If the UFC puts him on the NY card against the winner of Aldo/Edgar, the UFC will most likely gain back some fans, Diaz fans will be unhappy because they wanted to see another ass whooping.
