I wouldn't be disappointed. As long as Conor is stripped, I'm cool with these super fights.

lol at mastermind. Everyone of his fighters except Conor has had no success. I guess Edmond was also a true mastermind.
Do you remember what some of his guys look like?

The fact that Paddy won a fight at all is credit to Kavanagh as a coach.

I don’t know if that is a fair assessment. No one had heard of Kavanagh or Straigh Blast Gym before Conor put it on the map, yet they have produced 9 UFC fighters and 4 Bellator fighters. My understanding is they also have had numerous regional and European champs come out of their gym. Maybe mastermind is an exaggeration, but he must be doing something right to have had that level of success.

Conor is gonna come back, beat the winner of Tony/Khabib, then fight GSP at a catchweight and make everyone cry again.

Why do you want your boy to be brutally raped by a Frenchman in front of millions?
GSP is looking for one last big payday before he rides off into the sunset.

He cares little that he 's going to get KTFO

The two of them meeting without UFC means nothing regarding a fight.
UFC makes the deal, not them

You literally have no idea how negotiations work. You shouldn't be proud of that though.
lol
Try again kid

I been in the entertainment business for 25 years & get interviewed about MMA business & Dave Meltzer called me "one of the smarter MMA business guys".

Have a great day though :)

Mr. Frankie, you bring a lot of knowledge to this forum. BUT does it mean something for these two to be meeting? Hell, yeah, it very well could!!! What are the odds that they only talked about potatoes and other mundane topics, as joked about earlier in this thread?

You know they had to discuss the possibility of a GSP/Conor fight, THE BIGGEST PPV HEADLINER the UFC could possibly put together.

Now, that doesn't mean they reached any terms, of course. St. Pierre and Kavanaugh could have thrown around potential dates, the weight class or catch-weight that would be acceptable to both fighters, maybe even talked money or PPV points, to some degree. It would make for easier negotiations with Dana if they can have some starting points potentially worked out beforehand.

GSP and Conor are two guys who have been very vocal about knowing their value and getting what they're worth. They know how to take the bull by the horns, so to speak. They're not going to wait for the UFC to initiate negotiations and lead them around by the nose. They'll be fully prepared to make a strong case to the UFC, and if they can make that case by essentially being on the same page going into negotiations, all the more power to them.

That says more about the state of MMA than it does your knowledge of anything. If you are so naive (you are) that you can't understand how a face to face meeting between the two camps can get a deal done infinitely faster than baldylocks trying to broker a deal, that's on you.

I wish I was still a kid.

PS. YOU are the one that said this "The two of them meeting without UFC means nothing regarding a fight. UFC makes the deal, not them"

Ok. Or that. :) That is what I'm talkin about.

I think he'll do everything in his power to fight GSP first. It's the money fight, and there would be a lot less interest (and money to make) after his loss to Khabib.

There is nothing to it at all...

On a side note, my son's MT coach has recently signed with the UFC and will be debuting on the London card in March. He is heading off to SBG Ireland in the next few days to have his fight camp there.
