They already broke the rule that Dana instituted form Conor (where if there's a title fight, it is the main event) for Conor-Nate.
When Conor decides to fight again, he'll be the main event of a ppv.. unless there's some crazy title fight they can make that gets close to a fight Conor can have. The only one I can think of off the top of my head would be Jones-Cormier.

If Conor comes back he's fighting main event of a PPV, And they have already put a non title fight over a title fight as main event, so you are wrong as well.

My memory fails me. Which PPV event had a non-title/non-contender, 5 round fight over a titled co-main?

UFC 196
ufc 196 was a one off event. he can be the main event if there no title fight. but the ufc knows a 3 round conor fight if better for him in the end.
conor as comain to ufc 239 would be good for all parties but he used that as a reason to duck cowboy.
the ufc isnt belaltor

Fair enough. It was a 5 rounder, but not a contender fight. I'll give you that one!
UFC ain't Bellator, but it is a business. They know putting "McGregor" in the card name will make it $$$. Heck, we're talking about it right now.
On the Cowboy side. I didn't read enough about it. It would take a lot of money for Conor to take a risk IMO. He can beat Cowboy and the same vice versa but the amount of money he got offered (which would probably be considerably lower as a co-main I would think) probably makes it not worth the risk.
Sucks, but that's the monster that's been built
any time conor fights it sells so conor in a comain event vs cowboy is a win win for all. ufc gets conor in a 3 round fight and conor still will sell millions of ppvs buys.
any time conor fights he risking the money training ending after losing to much.
the money conor was offered last year was awesome for conor to sign that 6 fight deal. so money is being used as a scapegoat.
conor makes what he makes no matter where he fighting. he gets his ppv buys no matter what he gets his part of the money that he always gets.
I'm sure he gets a few more points if he's the main vs co-main. All speculation on my part.
conor always will get points that why him being comain event isnt that big a deal and makes conor a 3 round fight which is a win win for conor and the ufc.
