So why get bothered about it being made interim if it doesn't really mean shit?
An interim title is by no means called for. Saying so is submitting to BS marketing tactics.
Because like I said. It's just a cheap marketing tactic, and I don't agree with that.
Yeah, fuck fighters earning more money by marketing their fights the way that will sell the best.
Of course this happened.
I say forget the title implications and bring in Cerrone or Diaz and just have an interesting fight.

My guess is that he will say he's not ready for "the only fight he ever wants in his life ever ever"
Oh yeah because Conor's fight isn't going to sell unless some horse-shit stipulation is thrown in. Any short notice Conor fight is gonna sell the same as it would regardless of some fake belt on the line. People watch for Conor. Is it wrong to think that there should at least be some degree of integrity in this sport?
RDA defended his belt in December, case closed.

90% of the lightweight division just turned their cell phones off
That's cause he's not, with what we know about concussion there is no way he's ready for the cage.

Agreed, and it cheapens what it means to be a UFC champion.
C'mon, son. LHW's are blasting Dana's phone saying they can make the weight via amputating a limb.
edit: looks like I responded to the wrong comment as well as misinterpreted that comment, haha.

Also because he doesn't want to get brutally KO'd again but yes you're right
It will sell more with a belt on the line. It's just the way it is.
Yeah, that is a good argument in this case. I can't remember RDA having pulled out many of times. But I think Conor should have the right then to decline to fight as well. And wait for a healthy RDA return.
Has UFC ever been able to see one of their superfights to fruition without some type of controversy or cancellation?
You're sounding kind of shill-ish to me. For the sake of what is more than likely a small difference in profit you as a fan want the UFC to shit on RDA, and the championship title in general? By in large people are buying this for McGregor, title or not.
I don't give a shit either way. I just don't get why everyone gets so up in arms about it, using a justification that it is a meaningless belt.

We've been over that this rather straw man-esque summation of my posts doesn't accurately represent the point I or other users are trying to make. The whole meaningless belt point if only a portion of what i'm saying. Anyway it doesn't look like we're getting anywhere with this, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
