I wonder how Conor's trash talk and hype game will improve or change.

I feel like fighters will start to look at him like Chael in that aspect, and won't put any weight into it. He's gonna have to step his game up going forward.

Chael was just a big mouth who never backed up what he said. Conor showed and proved on saturday, so he'll have some respect

No doubt. But his talking won't faze fighters. Just like we're used to it in the public, I'm sure they're used to it. So, for it to keep working and selling, it's got to evolve.

Either that or he can't do it Every time. Pick and choose when to get "passionate"

My heart's still broken from Saturday, and I was going to take a break from MMA.

Until I saw this...

LUKE ROCHOLD ON WANTING VITOR



VITOR'S RESPONSE


If Vitor beats Silva and Rockhold is still the champ, please let this fight happen

Vitor doesn't deserve a shot at Luke not yet anyway.

Aldo deserves an immediate rematch and the sooner the better why not? Make it at like UFC 198

There's no fukking way conor gets 20mil a fight w/o sponsors. No mma organization will pay him that much

It's not about paying him that much. It's about him EARNING that much with PPVs.

Also, I hadn't heard that number. I've heard $5-10mm for this last fight.

If it were boxing he probably would have gotten $20mm for this last fight.

Who the fukk said Connor gets 20mil a fight? Ronda only gets 8. No way Connor gets that much more

im torn, im an aldo fan and wanna see him avenge this lost but frankie really deserves it that shot. Maybe aldo moves up to 155 and takes a fight and tries to hype up a rematch at 155 if conor goes that route
I personally can't dig this scenario. He's capable but he should leave featherweight on a winning note, whether it be in regular fights or a title rematch

Someone said he may want 20mil per. He'd get negotiated waaaaayyyy down, or laughed out of the organization
Hey cant fault the guy for starting high and letting them work him down. Once Ronda gets her face cracked again shes done and then Connor will be the only blockbuster draw they got
