Oliveira was already a decent draw with the 300k purchases from the Chandler fight, Chandler was not the draw on that card because he only had 1 fight in the UFC.
These cards aren’t stacked either, compared to Izzy cards which are top down incredible every time.
I see the likely Oliveira Connor fight in November December doing over a million purchases.
Naciemento slipped up at the press conference with john morgan and basically said its happening in November and he wants to be on that card in Brazil. Its on the undergrounds youtube page.
Its the biggest money fight conor can make and he has a shot at getting the title back.
Idk where you heard he wont be back and Connor used to make 145, he can make 155 at 5’9 for $30-40 million
There’s no way any of this is true or you were fed bad info.
They would never host a Conor card in Brazil
Conor said himself he doesn’t want to come back to 155, at best it’s a secondary option he’s mulling over
Conor’s still not even back to serious sparring, they are still not even sure if the bones in his leg will heal properly or if he’ll ever be back period
Skip to 4:52, hes talking as if its a done deal then recovers.
Yea they would host a conor card like they did woth Aldo when he was champ. This isn’t far fetched at all.
He’ll be back, he’s said he’s coming back. Only time will tell, but I’m favoring conor of Islam next.
I don’t understand how any fan of mixed martial arts would want to be on several different threads looking to discount Oliveira. How can you not appreciate a talent like that? Lots of people agree with you that Islam can beat him, that doesn’t mean he’s not an incredible fighter. One who we should enjoy while he’s around and especially during this incredible run
Because he’s making excuses not to fight Islam saying he needs to earn a fight when he wants to fight guys who haven’t won in years.
If he wants to ask for the money fight, fine, but keep your fool mouth shut about the next guy in line to fight you in the rankings who is favoured to beat you.
