Will Conor fight at UFC 200?

[Taco Loco]

I think so, something has a chance of being worked out, still time for this to get back on track. I'm gonna stay positive because I want this rematch.

 

[Rubberchin]

I can't see them giving in at this point.

 

[johncola]

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

That's Sherdog. Not necessarily the majority of fans. Especially including casuals.

Anyway, just because Sherdog prefers Conor defending his title to Conor/Nate, it doesn't mean they don't want Conor on the card at all. Would you prefer Conor/Nate on UFC 200 or neither of them fight on UFC 200?

 

[Sturmgeshutz]

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

Media sites from Earth?

No, once again you are mistaking an internet mob who made a lot of noise as being the most numerous.

Diaz/Mcgregor is the biggest fight in MMA, other than possibly Holm/Ronda (another fight idiots here say no one wants)

There's little point in trying to point out reality to these people

I don't care about either. The UFC has made themselves and CM rich by putting their whole marketing team on him, they are just lucky that he was able to drop so much weight to beat up guys smaller than him. But lets be clear, it was the UFC who made Conor famous, NOT Conor himself.

Twitter polls were saying the same....not just sherdog. Reporters were reporting that same opinion as well.

Diaz/Mcgregor is the biggest fight in MMA,

What does biggest mean? Biggest as in attracts the most casuals? Who cares what a circus attracts. I'd rather see title fights, you know between fighters who are better than Diaz and McGregor.

They should sack him and just do it to someone else then, since it had nothing to do with Conor. I hope they choose Cody Pfister next. That'd be fun

It means if they want to do the biggest gate and PPV buys possible, then Diaz/McGregor was the fight to make.

It attracts the most people. Casuals and hardcore fans alike. No one gives a shit what a tiny minority who make it their life's work to complain on the internet think.

They will, they always do. Cripes they did it at least 3 times in 2015. Rowdy, Northcut and Notorious. We all bought into it and it all came crashing down.

Biggest gate doesn't mean the best mma fight. Cripes people would pay thousands to see Charlie Sheen fight a crack whore. But i'm weird that way. I like mma for championship fights, because i want to see the best in their respective divisions.

Northcutt isn't McGregor. But I'll carry on with your narrative. The only fighters who have been as big as Conor are Ronda and Brock. And I think even you will agree that the UFC didn't create Brock. So, Conor and Ronda are the only times the UFC has created a Conor. So, Cody Pfister next? Roldan Sangchaan? Chris Gruetz?

 

[mma2013]

no

Media sites from Earth?

Middle earth—and they want the hobbit fights to be booked.

 

[Buster C]

No, Dana is often evasive and deceptive when it serves his purpose. But in this case, he has no reason to do a complete 180. If he does, he'll appear weak to the rest of the fighters, and more fighters will blow off obligations like Conor.

 

[Phronimos]

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."

I don't think so... some BIG egos there, billionaires and such. $50 K is small potatoes to these guys.

Sure, but it wouldn't be about the money. It's about the message. It'd be a political fine. It'd be to allow them to put the fight back on but save some face.
