Or, ya know, it might be attractive to someone who likes to get paid a lot of money to fight. Someone who would get a bigger % of the gross and wear whatever sponsorship they want.
but how long is it gonna last ? how many paydays are they gonna get from McGregor promoted events ? thats why i think a fighter on there way out would benefit more from an opportunity like this

Yeah, because what company ever suffered from losing it's biggest asset lol.

Who needs a guy who can sell over a million PPVs when you have Mighty Mouse, who can sell over 100,000 PPVs. And that's no disrespect to MM but come on.

Look up business basics, ol wikipedia makes it real easy to learn now adays bro haha
LOL you sound more butt hurt than anyone Ive heard yet. HAHA my dear fellow UFC is gonna ride and keep on riding

Trying to buy Conor some more time to prepare while Nate's crew is poppin' bottles at an EDM club in Vegas, courtesy of the UFC.
I bet my left and right nuts that Nate and his friends would NEVER enter, or stay at (if entered unintentionally), a nightclub playing EDM music.

Hmmm good question bro but I think this would be a good way to lure people out of the UFC during free agency.

For example, Aldo's contract is up. McGregor's management says "listen Jose we'll do Aldo/Jose 2 in Dublin, it'll draw crazy amounts of people, we will sell it on PPV, you'll get a bigger share of the purse than you ever would with UFC and you can wear your own advertising." Or Diaz, Edgar, RDA, ect ect

I think this would be the first step into setting MMA up like boxing, where guys can fight who they want and they have much more negotiation power.

A guy like Conor needs to follow the Floyd Mayweather blue print. Floyd bought himself out of a shitty contract with Bob Arum and started co-promoting his own fights and being his own boss and made CRAZY fuckin loot. I think Conor can do the same thing.
Initially he can co-promote with Bellator, fighting against their lightweight champ and whoever. After that he would have to compete for free agents once their UFC contract is up. As we are seeing people are fighting out their contracts, and if there are better options out there, people will jump.

This is Dana trying to assert himself as the "alpha male", to show Conor and everyone else that he's the boss.
Exactly. This could be a watershed moment in the UFC if Conor fights at UFC 200.

Nate's statements about still training (so he doesn't get sandbagged) and then having a vacation if he doesn't get to fight Conor have added to what could be a perfect storm that could drown Dana.

Translation: we have had lots of meetings and are in serious negotiations with Conor and have told him he's back on the card and asked that he not reveal it until we have been able to spin the story to make us look good and then announce his return.
Ha ha! Love this!!! Good point!

So do you want to talk rationally or do you want to get on with your ad hominem?

Nobody said the UFC would shrivel up and die without Conor. It was around before Conor and will remain after Conor. But the fact is, it's the big ticket stars that draw the big money into the UFC - the GSPs, Brock Lesnars, Rouseys, McGregors, ect - and the day they run out of their big draws, YES, that's the day when they are in big trouble. So why piss off the biggest draw you currently have?

And the fact that you'd compare a card that the Diaz bros promoted years ago (and didn't fight on, btw) to a Conor McGregor-promoted card where Conor is main eventing with a top 145/155/170lber shows how ass-backwards your thinking process is. Do I really need to explain the difference to you? Are you that clueless? My god, man.
Are they pissing him off or is he pissing them off?...........





(Or maybe he doesn't wanna piss, period......)
