Dana says those wanting Conor stripped are haters

What are they gonna do if Tony holds out for Conor? No title getting defended. Fuck them

PelosiesPanties - At this point who cares? UFC titles are a joke now!

So which titles are Legit then? Bellator? One?

Conor has no reason to not fight now aside from partying like a rockstar. He hasn’t defended the belt in over a year, and will be a year and a half at best before he ever does.

“So, how has he never defended the title?”

Ummmm…what? lol is this real? How has he never defended? Because he never defended!

He won the 145lb belt, left the division hanging for a year while he fought Diaz…twice. Then instead of defending the belt he had, he went and fought for another belt. After winning that title, he left the division hanging for a year, again, and left the damn sport for a money grab fight.

Now hopefully, maybe, keep your fingers crossed, he will come back late next year to finally defend a title, nearly 3 full years after winning his first one, and 2 years from the second.

If Conor was anyone else they would have stripped him a looong time ago. Anyone else would have been stripped the second they made a serious effort to do a boxing fight (which no other UFC fighter would ever be allowed to do).

That was a stupid thing to say even by White’s standards. Conor’s calling his own shots now and White has little control. If Conor wants to box next, the belts will get rusty. If he picks a non 155 to fight next [GSP, Nate] he’ll get that. Belts come in 2nd place compared to ppv buys. The worse part is other champs are trying to do this now.

Its obvious Ferguson isn’t fighting Conor sadly

Watch the UFC force Tony fight the winner of Khabib/Barboza. Its utter bullshit. Ferguson has been earned his title shot.

If Conor doesn’t want to fight Tony, strip him. Same way he never wanted to fight Edgar.

If Ferguson has any intelligence, he should play hardball too and not fight Khabib or anyone else. He has the UFC by the balls in which he has the interim belt. He should seriously sit on it if he is smart until Conor fights him or gets stripped

Any other champ would have already been stripped, The UFC titles don’t mean shit anymore. 

The only divisions with real undisputed champs are 135 and 125 the rest are either interim or we’re just given the belt back

Pump the breaks, Stipe and Woodley are legit undisputed champs as well

Right forgot about stipe, but GSP never actually lost the welterweight title

Woodley and Miocic may argue this. The MW is about to unified and DC may as well be considered the champ because Jones is likely a cheat.

True GSP never lost but Woodley finished Lawler in a round, beat Wonderboy twice, and beat Maia, undisputed #1 contenders.

GSP last fights at WW was Condit, Diaz and barely beat Hendricks, each of those 3 aren’t relevant anymore in the rankings.

I don’t like Woodley either but he is the true champ at this point

Just one title defense. That's all I am asking for.

Dana used to criticize the boxing world stating that the fights that should happen often took years to come to fruition due to side stepping tough fights , taking easier fights or taking fights that paid more. He said the UFC is different since they all worked for the UFC and the fights that needed to be made will always be made. UFC matchmakers would make the fights and there would be no side stepping or avoiding fights. It seems like the UFC is suffering the same issues as the boxing world these days.

Conor is bigger than a title fight at this point.  He is the title fight.

As long as this is applied consistently to all fighters.

ufc98newb - As long as this is applied consistently to all fighters.

It won't. McGregor can do whatever he wants it seems.

Dana is a buffoon.  I’m sure it was worth it 

Fuck Dana.

He was so much better before, off the deep end these days.

Thanks for the memories Dana. Was good while it lasted.

Thats probably the worst part imo of this entire “McGregor era”, the effect it has had on the entire sport. Its becoming like prize fighting boxing. Everyone drags their feet wanting more money and easier match ups, and the competition and the belts mean nothing anymore. As soon as someone wins a belt they start demanding more and more and expect to call all the shots and write their own contracts.

Conor McGregor did what he did, he came in at the exact right time when the big names were leaving, he brought an entire country of fans with him, he has the persona to catch peoples attention, and the skills to back it all up. He gets to be the star and he gets to get that next level money.

But now everyone else who is sniffing distance from a title feels entitled to the same treatment and same money, to the point its gotten out of hand. Nate wanting $30+ million to fight, Aldo wanting to do a big boxing match, GSP picking the “easy” Bisping fight then ducking the contract terms.

I dunno, Im ranting, I guess I just miss the old days when guys fought just to touch that gold and get to know they are the best, when it was about competition and proving who the “baddest” guy was rather than money (because there wasnt much in it then).

Only further adds merit to the narrative that Conor’s hype is manipulated, fabricated hype. It isn’t natural, it’s been given to him.

How so you ask? By the railroad tracks being cleared for him to have success. 145lb road was cleared for him when they made everyone in the top beat the shit out of each other. It was a systemic parting of the sea while this chump fought Siver. They allow him to do what he wants and choose his opponents. They have allowed him to break rules that would get other fighters ridiculed and kicked out of the organization. They tore into Aldo’s ass for pulling out of a few fights, despite the fact he’s had multiple title defenses and was champ for a shitload of years. Yet this clown has been champ in 2 divisions in 2 years, and has NEVER defended the belt. His entire career is one of those hype trains that sells on paper, but the reality of it is nauseating because you know he’s been HELPED immensely by the same ppl who are supposed to keep shit as a fair playing field for all contenders. Special treatment to the extreme. They instead have cleared out a 145lb division for the guy when he was coming up, and they REFUSED to match him with Frankie despite all the clamor from the fans.

Hype job was getting commercials rammed down our throats on every single PPV Card, even those that didn’t have shit to do with him. They were skipping interviews with fighters who had just had sensational knockouts just to show us one more commercial of Conor McGregor. Now that ppl have been conditioned to accept him as some kind of MMA legend, now they allow him to sit on the belt, and they will no doubt market him as the champ of 2 divisions for 2 years straight..lol Can’t make this shit up.. it’s disgusting, but as a fan who can see the hypocrisy the UFC has displayed in this whole ordeal, I don’t know how we can fix it.

There should be a commission or some kind of anti-fixing investigation to monitor rigged organizations like this. They are shamelessly propping Conor up and taking competition out of the equation. Whereas they would put the best vs the best in matchmaking for previous Champions, they are picking and choosing their spots with Conor McGregor. His fights are cherrypicked against opponents he thinks he can beat, and he’s given excessive time to duck those contenders who would whoop him. He’s stalled out Frankie and now he’s stalling on Tony. He doesn’t want to fight, but they are allowing him to make a mockery of the sport for short term gain. UFC needs to be investigated. The grumbles need to come from within the sport though, the fighters have to get vocal and call this anti-competitive playing field shit out. You can’t have certain rules for one guy, and then put hella pressure on other fighters who attempt the same thing.

Bisping’s bitchass pulled the same stunt. Milked his time with the belt refusing to fight the best of his division, and look at him now.. the fake narrative of him being the Champ is over and he’s out here getting Knocked the fuck out and choked out by 170lb guys..

Aussie Shaun -

conor know's he's toast

his run is over.

Ferguson will fucking hurt him badly and he knows it.

the mcgregor bubble has popped.

Not if he stalls Tony out until Tony finally loses, then Conor comes back and claims he’s ready to fight Porier or Alvarez again making a joke of the division. He’s going to stall until the right guy is in position to fight him. If the person is dangerous style wise to his style, then he’ll duck. Tony is taller than him, longer, can take it to the ground and get the sub, eats bombs and keeps coming with his great chin, and he’s going to put hurt on you. He won’t fold, and Conor knows once he himself starts folding it’s a wrap! So he’d rather milk his 15 minutes than allow the natural progression of things. He’s manipulating history by stalling it out..

Yeah, because it was clearly "fabricated hype" that beat Mendes, Aldo, Nate, Holloway, Alvarez, Poirier. Try as hard as you want, no objective person can deny that hit list. It's ok if you don't like Conor, but at least be objective. Clown

 Funny how Conor was avoiding wrestlers. How Mendes was the big bad boogieman to expose Conor. Conor BEATS Mendes (the best wrestler at FW) on short notice while injuried, and you nutjobs are still talking that delusional bullshit? Crazy. 

No one else is going to read your novel. No one gives a shit about anything you have to say. You're a shizophrenic hater whos fabricated your own distorted reality. Instead of looking objectively and giving Conor any kind of credit. In the words of my man NBKforlife, suck a big dick you wigger faggot. Anonymous random internet loser. Conor is the GOAT and it's going to make me even happier knowing that each of his wins is going to set you off into nerd rage lmao

Mendes..last minute replacement. Mini Mendes was whooping that ass. Got tired because of his lack of cardio after putting about 2 full rounds of asswhooping on the leprechaun. He couldn’t even get up and was begging Herb for a standup while blood trickled down his face from the elbows Mendes was slamming on his head. Herb stops the fight after Conor finally lands a left and an exhausted Mendes covers up to survive the last 4 seconds of the round. Herb with the premature stoppage.. cardio beat Mendes. 

Holloway then and Holloway now are two different guys. He was still green, but I won’t say it wasn’t a good win. Probably his best win in the 145lb division, but surprise surprise, he couldn’t knock him out. Damn what happened to that godly power? Oh that’s right.. Max is taller than 5’7”! Power only works on midgets in a division bighead shouldn’t even be draining down to in the first place.

Nate spanked him, broke his soul, slapped him like a bitch, had him ready to KO! Conor’s eyes were closing.. and then he gave up and took the coward way out and folded up like a sacrificial lamb. Lol.. he got pimp smacked a few times on the ground for good measure. Then sunk the choke and Conor tapped immediately.. BROKEN! Decisive domination for Nate.. he killed him. Conor avenges that, if you can even call it that, with a cheap ass close decision that saw him running literally to survive a round where he was about to fall out. He ran like a bitch! Straight up running like Forrest Gump and shit. Tucking tail and running! Lol.. Foh.. we all know that doesn’t count as redemption. Nate’s win was a 3 pointer, Conor’s bs was a free throw. There’s levels to this shit.. Nate BROKE Conor. Conor didn’t break Nate. 

 Alvarez and Porier I won’t even waste time with. Alvarez gets tagged by everybody. He had a fucking hematoma coming out the side of his face against Gaethje. He got peppered up by Porier, bout to fold too. He got headkicked by Cerrone. Shit when does Alvarez not get hit? Lol.. he was a gimmie fight for Conor. Style wise he’s a whack a mole waiting to be hit, and his chin isn’t the best. He gets dropped a lot!  Porier is a gatekeeper. He’s not championship material. That was a good win, but Porier got KO’d worse by Michael Johnson.

You don’t get points for beating the guys in the middle, beat the guys at the top when they are at their best. Tony is at his best now, don’t wait till the guy has fought wars against everybody else to finally show up asking for the fight when he’s past his prime. Fight him now.. and regarding NBK and me being a wigger, bitch I’m black and latin. Foh with your garbage. Funny how you have a brand spanking new account quoting NBKforlife..hmm NBK is that you?
