Man, I like Conor but he needs to drop this ish. He's holding that belt hostage and devaluing it in the process. UFC should hold fast, either he defends the belt and THEN can consider a LW fight or he drops the belt. 3 fights out of division while holding a belt without defending it is just crazy.

Yeah he's deadass wrong but can you blame him for trying? He's trying to pull off superstar boxer shyt in the UFC. He knows he's been carrying the brand.

He knows that Dana needs him...so he's still doing what he wants even though Dana's acting like he's putting his foot down.

If Conor is as proud of his belt as he claims, strip him of it and see if he all of a sudden wants to go back down so he can get it back. :yeshrug:


I got Cerrone by KO. :dame: Like.....a clean, unconscious K.O.....Robbie's about to start getting put to the bushes ALOT, imo.


And if there's some kinda tournament-esque GSP/TWood/Wonderboy/Maia situation @ 206....it's getting my money.

I'd prefer GSP-Woodley main event for the strap and Maia-Wonderboy on the main card for the no.1 slot...but ultimately, any combination of those 4 is awesome. WB is Dana's dream, though...so he'll either give him the title shot next or let him sit until GSP-Woodley. :francis:

Per his request, the UFC has released Shane Carwin from his contract. He's officially a free agent.



Mitrione/Fedor/Minakov are all good fights outside the UFC for Carwin.

Good point, he might as well. I think he realizes the value in going for that two division champion moniker. A rematch with Aldo probably has the least profit to it compared with a two title opportunity or a rematch with Nate; meanwhile, Max Holloway is probably next in line (well he should be at least) which means that'd be another rematch on the horizon. If Pettis keeps making noise, that's the money fight for Conor there and taking Eddie buys some time for Pettis to make the push (I would LOVE to see Pettis/Aldo like we were supposed to years back). Business wise, Conor is probably smart here and he has plenty of leverage. The UFC kicked him off their "biggest card ever" and he just clocked in his second PPV to do better numbers than that card.

Nate helped out a lot on UFC 201 people tuned in to see Conor lose live this time.

Translation: I can't roid anymore and they don't think my value is where I think it is coming off a four year layoff/getting smashed by JDS.




But it's best he goes to Bellator or Rizin. Don't know how well he would do in USADA era

Those numbers are why Conor can do whatever in the fukk he wants.

And Carlin is probably the most powerful heavyweight ever. If he has anything left, he can dominate Bellator for the next 3 - 4 years.
