The belt is just an accessory as BJ once said. I love Frankie and Jose and loved their first fight. I think Frankie can make the adjustment. McGregor should stay at LW after the Diaz fight. Seeing a bunch of rematches is a little lame for 200, but at least they're good fights.

This is bull shit. The only reason Dana gave for allowing Conor to fight in the 45 and55 divisions was that he would be active in both.. But now.. He's lined up for another fight at neither of those weight classes. They pander to MC Gregor too much. Making an interm belt just goes against this whole thing being a sport. I know it's entertainment and prize fighting after all but bending there own rules to cash in hurts stars in the long run. Look at Ronda or sage/paige
If they didn't put a belt on the line it wouldn't be 5 rounds. Do you really want to see a 3 round Aldo vs Edgar fight?

You think Conor's ego will allow him to do the condit?
Imho, I don't think he can even if he wants to, it is the job of the shorter fighter to get on the inside, otherwise its a losing battle, he can't exactly stick and move Nate, he'll be in Nate's range for a longer duration than he can actually do anything..add the fact that he gassed the first time and I really can see no way. Condit had reach on Nick, that's why he was able to do that on a very basic level. You can even do that with similar heights at a disadvantage..but notice the difference in length of the two guys.

Hey I may be wrong, but whenever I go with a bigger guy (which is usually the case) I go way up close or all the way out, otherwise their jab comes in and I can't even reach to counter. Now I know I'm no Conor McGregor, but I aint sparring a Nate Diaz either.

this is what you said: "No one considers DanielCormier to be the best light heavyweight fighter at the moment"

me: can prove you wrong, so don't be this guy...


an asterisk is Conor beating Mendes with a 2 week camp. Didn't somebody say along the lines, "i will defend both belts and I will be a busy champion"??

it does make sense to strip Conor, cause of he wins then what?? Conor vs Diaz 3. He said he would defend the belt in 2 divison now he ain't doing what he said and is putting the FW division in hold. Conor is ducking Edgar, he probably told Dana to make Aldo/Edgar 2 so Conor fights Aldo and avoids Edgar.

come on at least view your boy Conor objectively and not with tunnel vision...
lmao jesus you still dont get it. Reading comprehension, bro. It's not about Conor. It's about the korean zombie, edgar, aldo, holloway and everyone at 145 that trains their asses off to get a chance to be the best FW in the world. The whole point of the belt is to be called #1 in the world in your weight division. If Conor never comes back to 145, the belt loses its importance. I actually rooted for Nate to whoop Conor's ass and humble him. If anything, Im rooting for edgar or aldo to get a chance to humble him even further.

Conor is an amazing fighter and talker but I actually rooted for Nate to whoop Conor's ass and humble him.

i feel late to the party!!! this is a bullshit fight and Conor should be fighting one of these guys!!

If Aldo wants to win he better throw leg kicks and lots of them. Teeps to keep Frankie away as well. Frankie wins this if he can keep moving forward

reading comprehension?? I use the word bro, cause that's probably something you can relate. when you we're proved wrong, all you did is miss direct your fallacy. You completely failed and ignored to what Conor said, "I will be a busy champ and will defend both belts". Care to skip that quote again and defend it?

You smell full of Conor nuthuggin, you know why?? cause all your argument is to defend your boy Conor with no real "objective" point of view.

Feeling sorry for the other FW's in the division is not a strong argument for your side. I could write 5-8 paragraphs with facts and actual proven events that occured. I feel however like not wasting my time for a guy who can't even view Conor from an unbiased point of view.

My reading skills is actually pretty good, i would say above average. Although I am trying to get to that Luke Thomas level. I do enjoy books here and there, although my POS galaxy phone makes a bunch of auto mistakes and sometimes I don't care to fix.

You mean Sage, the guy who is fighting on the UFC 200 card, and Paige, the girl who is currently on Dancing With the Stars? Yeah, those trains really derailed, huh?

i dont. edgar wins more in the late rounds especially against an aldo who's conditioning is not known to be great and i want him to win

Ahh dayuuum lure him into a false sense of leg kick security, Franklyn!!
lmao yup. in theory, it sounds like it could almost work but in reality, chances are it wont.

you have to admit it would be amazing to see that occur in the octagon. and if it ever does, just remember you heard it here first!

Yeah Sage who has lost a ton of so called star power after getting hyped so hard and losing pretty easy to Brian Barberena.. Who ain't a bad fighter at all but has only beat who.. Joe ellenburger. The dude Sage fighting hasn't even got a wiki page ffs.

Paige is on the dancing show.. That's great for her but what does it do for her mma career.. I bet she ain't doing no grappling or shit while on the TV show

Lol dude Sage is so young. Nobody is pretending he's a contender right now. Not even his biggest fans are being that unrealistic.

If you don't think that Paige being on a nationally televised show like DWTS helps her career/hype you are insane. That's one of the highest rated TV shows in existence right now. You're underselling this by an incredible margin.

You will eventually learn that losses don't ruin hype these days, especially as much as you obviously want them to. You can't project your opinions to cover the reality that these two are just as popular as they were before they lost, and so is Conor.

Really? Sage is only popular due to the promotion of the company not through getting into the UFC and building fans via merit.I mean who here is a big sage northcut fan? That's not saying I won't watch him fight. Hes young and I want to see his development. But say he loses at UFC 200.. Will he still get the big push?
I never said a lose kills a fighters popularity I'm taking about the UFC hype train and how they select certain fighters to push..
As for Paige shes might become super popular and get extra eyes on a ppv or something but when she has so much going on her face bashing career will be the first to suffer.
I totally get ur point.. She lost and she's really popular.. That wasn't really my point originally.

I just feel like the UFC doesn't regret pushing them, and they don't regret the push. You said in your original comment that it hurts them in the long run. That was what I was responding to.

About the quote you posted: Of course is Conor selfish for fighting Nate again instead of defending the belt, but he intends to defend his belt ASAP. Throwing a tantrum about waiting a few extra months is childish especially when Dana confirmed that he will definitely fight at FW after UFC 200, win lose or draw in the diaz fight. In the meantime, Conor is still the cash cow and calls some shots, sorry if that hurts your feelings.

And to go back to the actual topic of this discussion: UFC deciding not to strip Conor. It doesn't matter if the champ is Conor, Luke Rockhold, Brock Lesnar or Bilbo Baggins. The UFC choosing NOT to strip the champ right now is the right decision for the business and for the fighters. What if Conor gets stripped and decides to never go back down to FW again? Then the belt loses a lot of its value. Aldo and Edgar do NOT want this. No offense but what they want is a little more important than what you and a group of other fans want. This goes for every champ and every division, not just conor. What if Luke Rockhold vacated the belt right this moment, moved up to 205 and never went back down? No one would want that except Michael Bisping, lmao. Weidman would lose his mind. Aldo would too if Conor never went to 145 again. Rockhold still has work to do at 185, and so does Conor at 145.

I know you're in emotional distress about Conor keeping the belt, but suck it up buddy. I believe in you, you can get through this.
