I think Dana is trying to be hard nosed and send a message to Conor that nobody is bigger than him and the UFC, but he's wrong. Dana has a huge global presence, but nobody is plunking down 60$ to watch him. Conor puts asses in seats and generates insane PPV buys, and a star like him doesn't come around every day and cannot simply be manufactured. They can bring back GSP, but that's only a band aid on a much bigger problem.

I think they fucked around with the fighters for too long and now the Reebok deal and other things are causing big cracks in the UFC foundation.

Does anyone else think it's possible that Conor made a back door deal with Enzo that Dana wasn't privy to?

MMA fans are being treated like day time TV watching housewives. And they're falling for it.

I wonder what hair style Conor's girlfriend will have tomorrow.
most definitely....i said the same thing when it all started last week. "what a friggin' soap opera"

Conor is a superb fighter and he generates a lot of interest but, like Rousey, he runs his mouth past the optimum point and well into the area of looking foolish.
yep, fame is a fickle bitch...

well hopefully he uses his time off from the promo tour wisely...and learns how to escape from black belt level submissions,
judging by the last fight he had with diaz.." precision, and timing" did nothing for him except show us his masterful tapping skills. best tapping i've ever seen in the history of the octagon.

Dana said Conor/Diaz isn't happening at 200. Conor says he's on the card. Since neither guy would tell a lie, I can only deduce that Conor is now slated to fight Jon Jones at UFC 200. I think Conor wins that fight. All the bigger guys are just stuck in the mud.

Jones is gonna pose even more problems for Conor than Nate did, plus his size and reach advantage would be tremendous. No way he can ko Jones so it's gotta be decision or sub. L O L to both.

No, I think Conor sent that tweet out to try and put more pressure on the UFC. Dana announces shit that's not true all the time...lies about fighters all the time to the media. Conor's giving them a taste of their own medicine IMO.

Dana and Zuffa are fucking the fans over because he's on an ego trip and is trying to assert dominance over his biggest draw.

Dana always said the UFC was about the fans, and that his job was to make the fights the fans want to see.

Well... the fans want McGregor on the fucking card, McGregor wants to be on the card, his opponent wants him to be on the card, EVERYBODY wants Conor to be on the card and the UFC are saying no. Zuffa = bums in suits.

Looks like Zuffa is trying to put Conor in check to let him know that hes not bigger than the UFC and that he cant call the shots after his retirement thing.

Conor and zuffa are playing everyone. There is too much money on the line for Conor not to be on ufc 200.

Too many people talking about it.

Dana publicly announcing it to TMZ lol

The writing is on the wall.

Nobody wanted to see an immediate rematch with Nate, except for Conor. They gave him his wish, again. So now the fight is off, so they give the fans what they want through the backdoor, no? ;)

it's funny, cause for all the talk about how no one wanted the rematch, everyone would still be watching on fight night :)

Yup, but mainly for Nate's cause imo. Doesn't change the fact that there are better fights out there for both atm.
