Today, Conor has made history

[IamStryker]

There is a difference between thinking someone should be stripped for whatever reason, and someone having been able to actually defend at that point or not. Conor couldn’t defend as he was under contract. You can’t reasonably say he should’ve been defending a belt he legally could not have at that time, that makes no sense.

You need to be more specific. I'm not sure when you are talking about.

What you really mean is that if Conor wasn’t capable of defending, as he was not with the Floyd contract owning his fighting rights at the time, then he should’ve been stripped.

That’s a much better argument then threads like these which just want to look at the total days. Total days mean nothing without context.

My post wasn't just talking about when he was under contract to fight Floyd. But in regards to that fight again why should an MMA fan care about his boxing match? He is still holding up a division in MMA and if he wants to justify that shit by saying he is "active" then he should honor that with a quick turn around which he is not doing. He is sitting on his ass counting his money.

Holy fuck, I wish I could carve this post on marble.

Yeah. PPV's and how much money fighters bring in. You would think Sherdog is the land of accountants and UFC employees.

He's willing to, unlike most champions, and that's the point. UFC needs to actually pay him though.

lmao what. The UFC invested millions marketing this guy to turn him into a star; Conor didn't just snap his fingers and become one. The UFC paid for it to happen and risked the credibility of multiple divisions in the process. He's not willing to if he has ridiculous expectations for how much he's worth especially when he's demanding it from the company that literally made him.

Cry harder

but the ufc needs stars so badly right now that they don't have leverage at all. ronda's gone, gsp hit and ran on the MW division, jon jones is bad news all the time...

ufc's never been this starved before for stars and it isn't a coincidence that the owners who brought it into the mainstream are no longer there. so this is a leverage game that conor's definitely winning. there are no stars in the ufc. they're getting desperate enough to push tito ortiz managed cyborg.

A deal will get done, and he'll get paid more than what the UFC is offering right now, but less than what Conor is asking for right now. It's called negotiation. So those "ridiculous expectations" will get him more money, and thus not be so ridiculous.

Sure, the UFC has put time and money behind Conor. But they did that for a reason. They did that because of his fighting skills, fighting style, attitude to fighting, talking ability, physical appearance, and overall persona. All of that stuff is the main reason he's a star. The UFC's promotion just complemented those things. If they did the same thing to Neil Seery, you think it'd yield the same results? Conor is better than other fighters, and you need to accept it.

He's never going to defend that title.

you know he makes more money when he fights than when he doesn't fight, right? fighting would get him more money, not just sitting on the sidelines trying to milk the company that built him for all they're worth.

All of that stuff is the main reason he's a star.

no, the main reason he is a star is because those things assisted the UFC's effort in building him after signing him, letting him fight in their org, and investing money into him to turn him into a star. if he had all those things but never had the push from the UFC, he does not become a star.

Conor is better than other fighters, and you need to accept it.

i'm aware he has beaten fighters and is marketable, but you need to accept that him ducking the organization that made him who he is is sad

i don't really give a fuck about the UFC's profits or conor's profit, but to pretend like it makes sense that the UFC should have to pay Conor anything more than they have been or than what they are offering after they were the ones that built him and promoted him and let him take the mayweather fight is weak
