Will Conor fight at UFC 200?

[johncola]

I'm surprised no one's made this already. I'd just like to see how people are thinking.

I'm on the side that he will fight on 200.

Conor wants it, Nate wants it, the fans want it, the media are calling for it, even Rogan tweeted that he wants it. And the fight is now bigger than it was when the UFC initially pulled Conor.

Agghhhh, nooo. didn't hear Dana??? You really think the Baldfather would lie to us???

 

[evildog46]

Dana is pissed and vindictive. I leaning towards no just to check Conor..

 

[Jin Akutsu]

Yes. Lorenzo will have a nice talk with Dana.

Nate just ruined Dana at the presser too.

 

[Death By Samson]

Dana is pissed and vindictive

That is why I vote No too.

 

[Filthymaggot]

No, and neither will Nate. That card is officially garbage compared to what we all expected.

 

[WOATwindmiller]

I think Dana made it clear that Conor won't be fighting. Nate won't be either if he'll only fight Conor (as he'd rather go on vacation).

I can see them making this rematch eventually though...

 

[graciefighterz]

I'm leaning towards no. I feel Dana and co are worried that if they back down other fighters will try to hold them hostage in the future as well.

If he does end up on the card it needs to happen soon because the clock is ticking and you can't keep promoting Nate vs tbd

 

[ArkhamAsylum]

Yep.

 

[Phronimos]

He can't. Dana and the UFC would lose too much face. Conor has to be punished, even though he made a reasonable request.

 

[DatSamboKid]

I think he will.

 

[johncola]

He can't. Dana and the UFC would lose too much face. Conor has to be punished, even though he made a reasonable request.

Can't he be punished somehow else? Can't the UFC say something like "the fight is back on, but you can't not do media. So we're fining Conor $50,000."

Needs a 'Not sure' option, but I voted no.

I don't like "not sure" options as they don't add to the poll. I'd rather a person not sure either try and lean one way or the other like you did, or just wait until they become more sure one way or another and then vote

Make a poll to see if the fans want it. I feel like most people never wanted that fight to begin with.

That's pretty much irrelevant now. With this whole situation Conor created there's more demand for the fight than there ever would have been.

Who's to say Conor doesn't back down behind the scenes, and still makes more money than he would have before. The negotiations surely can't be over, this fight just got twice as much more intriguing, maybe not to haters but to the public, the response has hit the mainstream.

I can't make polls. A mod added this. Thank you to that mod, btw.

We already know most of Sherdog is against the fight.

edit: What would be interesting however, is a poll asking whether people want Conor to fight on UFC 200 at all. A simple "Conor @ 200 vs No Conor @ 200 ?" poll. Or alternatively, "would you prefer Conor vs Nate @ UFC 200 or Nothing" poll?

Make a poll and ask us if we want that fight.

The fans do NOT want it. they want him to defend his belt at FW.

This is what I remember nearly all polls on various media sites saying.
