Oh he will step in if someone drops out - yeah as long as it’s Khabib who drops out. He don’t want none of that. Let’s wait for the desperate Irish white nights…
Has he been training? I don’t follow enough to know.
MMA Playwright -He said he would step in if one of them dropped out.....Has he been training? I don’t follow enough to know.
Agreed . Very quiet right now. Isn’t his motto “Stay ready so I don’t have to get ready”?
Well said op
Conor fan here…
A great chance for him to step in… and back up his talk.
He’s become civilized and lost his warrior spirit.
Disappointing.
The ufc wants to promote Conner. Tours.. make it a big deal. Plus they most likely don’t want to pay him all that money on short notice with no promotion
The type of money it would cost for Conor, they would want more than a week to promote the event to get the most out of it. I doubt it’s anything to do with Conor and more about UFC brass knowing how to minimise losses.
conor costs WAYYYYYY too much and is WAYYYY to big of a money maker not to throw a full promo cycle behind him
Yeah this is win win for the ufc. IF max pulls off the upset of the year, then Connor vs max 2 will make money. If Max gets pummeled as expected they can grow khabib’s name a little more and do a proper promo for khabib vs Conor
McGregors Acne Scars - Oh he will step in if someone drops out - yeah as long as it's Khabib who drops out. He don't want none of that. Let's wait for the desperate Irish white nights..
The UFC isn’t going to put Conor in on short notice. They will want to build the fight
LeftLowKick - conor costs WAYYYYYY too much and is WAYYYY to big of a money maker not to throw a full promo cycle behind him
He still said he’d step in, he’s not.
Its 2018, how much promo does it take to get the word out?
He was never stepping in the cage if it was Khabib, he probably never will.
Retire or the Russian.
Conor fans can't call bs on this cause Conor was the one who said he'd step in. Now his silence is deafening.
You think dana is stupid? He’s not making mcgregors comeback without massive global promotion.
It wouldnt matter if conor offered to fight for free, the UFC would make more money with a conor comeback vs Khabib in russia than they would in 3 years of UFC ppv’s.
Man I miss the good ole days when fans didnt give a shit about how much $ the UFC made and just wanted to see good fights.
InTheClosetCucumberBoy -Man I miss the good ole days when fans didnt give a shit about how much $ the UFC made and just wanted to see good fights.
Yup
What the fuck makes anyone think Conor was offered this and turned it down? Everyone is just talking shit over purse speculation, lol. It’s still April 1st.
I don't think the UFC would make it anyway. They want months to hype a Conor fight up.
JOB - The type of money it would cost for Conor, they would want more than a week to promote the event to get the most out of it. I doubt it's anything to do with Conor and more about UFC brass knowing how to minimise losses.
And Conor knows that, which is why he shouldn't act like he's going to step in when he knows it's not a possibility. Instead he should focus on defending his belt but he won't because he's retired and afraid of Khabib.
Again, his next fight will be Floyd. He’s not paying Woodley to train him for nothing. Millions made by all parties - twice.
