but hes gotta realize he sucks and conor doesnt. someone tell dillon danus the same thing too.
u cant just act like that and then go and get beat up all the time. he has like a 58 inch reach so mma and especially boxing just isnt for him. hopefully conor will take care of him for life cuz that cte is gonna be rough from being conors heavy bag all these years
Erik Apple - now I don't know him personally, so I honestly have no ill will to this guy, but he's kinda ridiculous
his best quality is that he’s tough (he’s Russian so no surprise) other then that, his fights are usually lackluster and his skills are mediocre .
Hanging with Conor has warped his mind. He talked like he was a ufc superstar and he is now losing in the prelims.
Now he’s talking about boxing professionally ? he can’t even outstrike mma fighters …so what will a real boxer do to him?
what’s going on with this guy?
If you mean ‘max out your earning potential within the limited window you have’ syndrome… Then let’s hope so and hope all fighters catch this same affliction
Aldo seems to be suffering from the same condition & he only fought Conor. Everyone wants to cross over to boxing now.
The only thing you can say for Artem is that he doesn’t seem to be in any boring fights. He had a good win a few fights ago against the Japanese guy from TAM (Ishihara?). Cub beat him convincingly in a 5 round fight but I think Artem won a couple of those rounds and his fight against Fili was at least entertaining.
He should probably be cut but so should some other bigger names that are on bad losing streaks. Gil Melendez has looked terrible since he failed that whizz quiz
I agree with Erik Apple on this one. Dillon Danis has a progressive stage 3 WCS, the worst case known to man. The prognosis is not looking good as of right now.

right, so he has the tools to really make an impact and be successful in boxing hey?
hasn’t he got a masters degree in finance?
maybe he should be using that to maximise his earning potential.
Whats he going to do with a masters in Finance in Ireland? Everyone spent their life savings following Conor around the world.

Does this have anything to do with the now 6 billion dollar purchase of the UFC and the lack of sponsorship dollars?
The UFC is lucrative for only a small few.
If you are out of title contention and not one of the few proven draws then I can see why boxing offers a glimmer of hope for some more money.

Unfounded hope. Almost no one in MMA has the skill to compete in high level(well paid) boxing, or the fame to have one single glorious payout ala Mcgregor.
They'd be stuck fighting for 15k like the Conor vs Mayweather prelim guys, or at worst fighting in some gym to get holliday money.

maybe he is. maybe he will. i would imagine that you would be able to turn to finance later in life and be successful much easier than you could turn to fighting later in life and be successful.
he also may not have the tools to make an impact and be successful in boxing, but maybe he stands to earn more. small window to earn as much as you can.
^^^ or we can just continue to hate on him for trying another approach to earning a living in combat sports, all while having a very viable backup plan to earn when it’s all over.

Hard to turn to finance later in life when you brain is fucked.
