I think he's got an ego though and he'd get clowned by any decent boxer that's not totally :flabbynsick:, so he wants to win.

Supposedly he's got bad habits(*sniff sniff*) so he's gonna blow through his $$$ quick, he'll be back in the UFC soon enough, I think he's just looking to get favorable terms

He's got business adventures he will still be bringing in money. The belief of losing is stronger than his ego trust me. He don't want another L on his record. Because he talks like he's better than any man 10+/- around his weight but he knows he don't want that smoke with the current top guys in either division. Even Max is a tough go.

Conor probably praying Ferg wins I'm not tho :shaq:
Shoot Ferg is a beast but against conor his sloppy striking is asking to get countered(he has other tools though). Against khabib it will be interesting because his ground game is no joke.

Yeah I have more faith in Khabib's chin than Ferg's not to say Ferg can't take a punch tho he just to me won't pressure Conor enough to get him to the ground where as Khabib he lives to get you down to the ground you know? Ferg probably goes 4-5 rounds with Conor with Khabib I see 2 maybe 3 max.

I'm struggling to picture a scenario where someone who got busted the fukk up by a weakened Kevin Lee and almost finished by Lando Vanatta makes it 4-5 rounds with Conor :heh:
Like..Im not even sure Tony has enough punching power to make Conor respect him on the feet. At the same time if Tony gets it on the floor I think he subs Conor guaranteed.

This is also the same guy that took RDA out.... and I believe RDA would beat Conor... yes RDA didn't wanna be at 155 anymore tho so :manny:

That 155 weight cut was killing RDA, I would honest favor Conor against RDA at 155 but he would absolutely wreck him at 170

When the fight was originally scheduled nah I think Conor woulda got worked. But obviously a couple months later RDA wasn't the same... matter of fact I truly think the fall through of that fight and him obviously destroying Eddie he wouldn't be where he's at today because I think he wouldn't have beaten RDA.

Conor had to be stripped at FW for holding up the division and might be stripped here for not defending in almost 2 years whilst fighting in another sport.
:sas1:
All I'm gonna say is despite the criticism GSP got, atleast he gave up the title as soon as he found out he won't be able to defend it due to ulcerative colitis so as to not hold up the division. And he's defended the WW title countless times.
