Why's Dana so sure of McGregor's victory

[Pious Augustus]

He's already planning Khabib vs McGregor 2

something is fishy here..

 

[GroundNPouter]

he knows if mcgregor can somehow get it to the judges that's guaranteed.

Not in Abu Dhabi. They would banish Dana and the UFC if he ever did anything like that

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

I must admit he is talking like this fight has already finished and putting pressure on Khabib too take the rematch now with Conor

Simply because it's the most likely result. Definitely not saying Dustin can't upset him, but it's very clear who Dana wants to win.

 

[Antix]

I wanted Dustin to win anyway because he’s actually active and does fight proper contenders his whole career.

But seeing Dana trying to “just sayin” Khabib into fighting Conor again when he hasn’t beaten Dustin yet would add another level of enjoyment if Dustin wins tonight, because you know bald goof’s skin would be secretly turning an even darker shade of high blood pressure red if Dustin ruins the chance of Conor v Khabib II.

this is why

 

[Luthien]

Nobody is asking what is next for Dustin
Should Dustin win this fight

 

[Johnnny]

Dana does whatever will generate the most money for the the UFC. Knowing how much money Khabib-Conor 2 would pull in, it would make sense for Dana to be paying Dustin several million to take a dive and guaranteeing him a title shot the next time Conor steps away from the sport or changes divisions.

I feel the same way. Why he would favor Conor is beyond me, it's not like Conor already destroyed Dustin once.

Dana making baseless assumptions.

I think he wants to be able to advertise and promote ASAP if it’s happening

 

[Castiglione]

Everyone with even a small brain knows Dustin's chances are astronomically small in this fight. McGregor beats up everyone at 155 and below, easily.

Who has Conor beaten at 155 other than the guy that got sent to the Shadow Realm in his One FC debut?

 

[Dessyboy]

you like to think Dustin couldn;t be corrupted, but he is going on about taking care of his family Dana could pay him 2 million to go down and it would still be a bargain against what a Conor Khabib rematch would make

this is what concerns me. Quite a bit. This IS possible.

 

[Mcnugget]

I think Dana is selling khabib on this right by saying “go in there and humiliate this guy. Promote your gym and your fighters and let’s get rich. “
Dana doesn’t show respect for the fighters often so he is most likely talking all kinds of shit about conor

Since you guys are taking this idea seriously, do you think it has happened before? If so, when?

You are right! Its not like a fighter can win the rematch after losing the first one. Just ask Conor.

 

[Doughie99]

OK you asked so i'll opine.

IF it has happened before (and we are just speculating here, only my opinion etc etc) then I would say McG vs Cerrone and, potentially, even McG versus Alvarez. The Alvarez fight looked more legit. Cerrone looked like he'd been told to just stand there and let McG just hit him.


Don't @ me folks with your McG love, the poster above asked a question and so I answered.

Not in Abu Dhabi. They would bannish Dana and the UFC if he ever did anything like that
