What if Conor does walk away from UFC?

[wtkace**]

Not letting Conor fighting at UFC 200 as well the possibility of letting him out of UFC 205 might really hurts his EGO a lot, which will end up where Conor just retire from MMA. Lorenzo & Dana aren’t idiot, which they do take in consideration for making every single decision, so I guess they did foresee all this coming along.

The question is: Do they afford to lost bright star like Conor?

My answer will be: A big Yes.

UFC had been doing great all these years even without star like Conor, as they just purely attract crowd that enjoying fighting a lot instead of the puppet show out of the Octagon. They might really earn lesser without the drawing power of Conor, but they will still do well, that’s what happen when the promotion is bigger than the star.

Well, I seem no problem for UFC to build up another star at this moment. Fighter like JBJ, DC, Luke , Weidman, Robbie, Nick & NATEEEE, Khabib…………… anyone of them are willing to be the next superstar of this company, so the future of UFC is secure for sure.

*In addition, if you did read some news in the past, some fighter don’t even care about the promotion stuff as their belt is the only thing they care about, so not all fighter behave the way just like Conor. I guess that’s the spirit of warrior, Cain Velasquez.

Zuffa will earn hundreds of millions a year with or without him.

Hopefully they do it WITH him, but I hope he stops acting as crazy as he did the past 7 days/.

Of course the would be okay. They just won't be doing million and a half ppv buys and 8 million dollar gates anymore. Conor was the easiest money they ever made.

 

[trident]

They'll just hype up someone else.

Fodder, for the masses.

 

[Granite Wall]

LOL

We were fine before Conor and we will continue to be without him.

 

[MMAguitarman]

nope.

UFC should release his contract too.

Let him go to another org.

These contracts are non-sense. I don't know why fighters sign their lives away.

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

Lets just say he wont.

The one who hurt the most is not the UFC but Conor himself, Conor can walk away and made UFC loses a lot of money but Conor will not get the money,the fame and the rights to call himself the best if he signed with other mma promotion. Heck i even think there is posibility that Conor signed with WWE

 

[Doog Doogson]

He should get a huge ADIDAS or NIKE tattoo and go back to work.

 

[Phronimos]

The UFC will be fine. I think they are better with Conor, but this wrinkle will get ironed out one way or the other.

Let him go to another org..

Why the hell would they do that? So he can make their competitors more money?

Conor cannot sign with WWE.
They are part of Zuffa's non-complete clause
Also WWE has UFC in theirs as well.
That is CM Punk had to sit & show Dana/Lorenzo he was legally allowed to negotiate

UFC is a billion dollar corporation, the owners are worth billions, Conor is a dent nothing more. Good if McWhiny leaves he was nothing before the UFC and will be nothing after. The UFC made him (his mouth did technically), but without the UFC he would haven't made squat.

No exposed as a one trick pony, insecure, narcissist, egomaniac, his drawing power is less already!! Screw him trying to bite the hand that feeds him.

I could care less.
