Start accepting fights they give to you

I think they tried to strong arm yair by announcing thetfight before it was actually offcial and when he refused that's when Dana released dude

Well if by that strong arm theory then they weren’t totally in the right... they should/could also work with him given that he is a nice prospect. Now if he flat out denied fighting he should be also able to do that for training etc. Ima let the speculation rest and hear his side. Myles Jury comes to mind and he wasn’t let go for avoiding Cowboy I believe it was.

honestly its clear they dont view him as an asset, i think of top ranks legendary matchmaker who helped forge mayweathers/cottos careers and how their logic on how to build a fighter was so effective. Yair coming off a loss that clearly left him mentally in a tough place, if he wants to take a fight to help get that confidence up and they believe he has talent to be a future star, why the fukk wouldnt they just let the homie get his weight up again?

Dana Whites way of doing things is annoying as hell sometimes. I see why dudes like Rampage dont fukk with him. Im not trying to be that guy, but if connor lost a big demoralizing fight in that way and needed a gimmie to get himself back up you think they are saying no? seems like when youre white you get the benefit of the doubt.

Trying to end the trend where fighters are trying to pick their own fights. Especially those on the bottom of totem pole
Yair wasn’t at the bottom of the totem pole. Not saying you said that but still... I have a feeling if this was pre Edgar we wouldn’t have been talking about this

He is a good entertaining prospect, I think with the crappy year the ufc is having Dana is getting testy. I wanna see how he handles this dern situation. I think she missed weight on purpose and people like her need to be punished more then 30 percent of their purse

Yair shouldve stepped up. His loss. Does he not have any confidence in himself? I wanted him vs zabbit.
