LMFAO this guy

Do you think if she would've waiting for Ronda for a rematch that she would've made over a mil with ppv buys?

I think that initial rematch would've been huge, but now has lost some of its luster.

Breh she's damn near 35 and Ronda never even said she'd be back oct/nov definitively she said maybe, as a fighter who is a gamer on the wrong side of her 30s waiting indefinitely is a lot to ask, it's easy to say she should have done this and that in hindsight but before the last 3mins of the 5th she was cruising to an uneventful title defense

GSP dominated his division as champion, same with Anderson Silva. That's in part why their superfight was truly compelling and unforced. Same with Jones vs Silva.

Connor just barely won the FW belt lol. UFC entertaining the idea of McGregor fighting 145, 155 and 170 title back to back to back just reeks more of bullshyt favoritism than it does a fearless fighter.

Actually it reeks more of strike while the iron is hot. Your HW champ dont wanna fight unless its Cain and Cain keeps on getting hurt. Your 205 champ can't stay clean, you got Mighty mouse who is beating guys so badly that no1 is even interested in their fights. And you got a throwback fight from what seems like a decade ago Faber vs Cruz. You got a former champ big rig who looks like he just doesnt care or know whats going on anymore. You got basically Lawler there willing to fight but no1 that can sell that fight vs him.

So yes, if I was dana i would be pushing the shyt outta Connor and tryin 2 get him in the ring as much as possible to cash in, same with Cowboy. The fans luv him, he fights often I would be trying to cash in. Gotta stop gettin feelings involve and just realize this is the entertainment bizness, and Dana, the fertitas dont give a damn bout ne of these current fighters, they jus trying to make money and watch it multiply.

This might be more about Tate than anything

 

[Roman Brady]

Hugs Conor's nuts for fighting anyone, anytime. Slams Holly for fighting anyone, anytime

different scenarios and reasoning, Connor is the show who has the pick of the litter which is why they cave to his demands and his live gates/ppvs speak for themselves. Holly is not a draw and had 1 mega money fight lined up. They wanted holly to think as a business woman not a fighter who is almost 40




Ps Is there a bigger bytch than gegard mausasi, now he wants to fight anderson? Who the fuk calls out Anderson in 2016? Wasn't this guy suppose to fight bisbing considering they both won 2 weeks ago wouldn't the logical move be to call out micheal?

 

[BlackSuperman]

Nate destroys his soul.

Sht like this makes me love MMA fans sometimes. And I love how Nate rolls off Conor talking about beating up Nick and just keeps on talking sht at the same pace. And people said Nate was "too stupid" to talk trash with Conor.

Yup your right it is a lot to ask. But sometimes you gotta look at it as, I can do 3 fights and hopefully make 1.5m total for all 3. Or i can wait, relax my old body and do 1 fight and potentially make upwards of 2m. Not saying either way is right or wrong. Just a difference in thinking.

 

[BlackSuperman]

Dana talkin like bj penn aint fight lyoto at heavywheight. Heavyweight brehs! fukkin bj weighed 190 while machida clocked in at 225. Machida in his fukkin prime. The same bj penn that held ufc titles at ww and lw.

And BJ won the first round against Machida! Dana's selective amnesia is getting on my last damn nerves.

I'm looking forward to Bieber vs Diaz UFC 209! The iron is hot brah!!!!! It fits the criteria for a profitable fight, should the UFC pass on it?!

But hey, if Connor can fight, let him fight and make money. But when the UFC just artificially says hey, Connor is better than Nate and all them LW bums, he should just fight RDA right away..... yeah that's dat bullshyt. Connor is better than all those WW bums too, give him Lawler. UFC shytting all over the other fighters brands just to raise Connor's.

 

[BlackSuperman]

They need to plan ahead for how they are going to take Nate Diaz out of a retirement home so he can fight at UFC 420.

He aint cleared to fight till 420
UFC 196 medical suspensions: Nate Diaz suspended until 4/20

Not sure why ur so heated towards Connor. This is pretty standard in Mma and contact sports. Guys who can sell fights, be a big draw get the fights till no1 wants to see them again.

Diaz already lost to RDA and lost to Ben so let's not act like Diaz hasn't been given a chance.

Look how long it took Pac to get the Mayweather fight, amir khan still tryin 2 call out Mayweather. This is combat sports pretty normal, this isn't personal. When Connor gets knocked outta the ufc, Bellator will throw em a bone prolly vs shamrock and then graycie lol.

Dana will find a new Connor by then, he will be twice as better as the last guy and will be the biggest thing since slice bread. Get over it. Stop sounding so butt hurt. Tito use 2 run dis, Chuck use 2, Hughes, gsp, and so on and so on. There's always another great white hype coming around the corner.

If you ain't one of his favorites he Dana don't give a fukk. Even fighters making excuses for Conor



Whenever you achieve something big, when you have Success in a scale that Has never been reached in your field There will always be haters, There will be people Rooting for you to fail but know that the people that really understand the sport And the business look up to you And for the work that you have done

No Result will erase the legacy you have built

Never forget that the lions should never lose sleep over the opinion of the sheep (not about fans)


What fukkin legacy exactly dude ain't been in long enough, nor has he accomplished anything legacy worthy in the UFC to erase
