Woodley getting no respect out here.

Everyone who fights Conor wants at least a mill especially a champ since it's a superfight

Update on Eddie/Conor/Khabib situation:

Eddie and Conor still want to fight each other on UFC 205. The fight was close to being finalized. In negotiations Eddie asked for more money and Joe Silva told him no. Silva then gave Khabib the Alvarez fight for UFC 206 (originally UFC 205, but Eddie missed the signing deadline). Conor still does not want to drop the 145 title.

That's a good fight, so Jacare/Rockhold and this, thats a quality card.

I thought Silva left the company?

If that's the case give him Aldo in Dublin

at the end of the year

Conor needs to quit bullshytting and either fight Aldo or vacate the belt so Holloway can get his shot. 155 has plenty of guys in line for title shots and he's not gonna hold two belts simultaneously.

 

[The G.O.D II]

So looks like NY will be headlines by Woodley vs Wonderboy

 

[Roman Brady]

Is why I was like when they announced Lawler vs cerrone as the 3rd fight on the card. It's very rare things go according to plan in the ufc

 

[charknicks]

So you want to reward a dude who has held the 145 belt hostage by fight in other divisions for over a year with a fight in his hometown?

I understand Conor is THE draw, but they cant just bend over and give this dude everything he wants. Im getting tired of this dude holding up 2-3 different divisions.

it's debatable that he's holding up 145 (as aldo can easily defend the interim if there was a legit contender outside Edgar). The other division(s) he's holding up) you will have to clue me up on
