Wasn't too hyped for a Diaz rematch anyways, hopefully we get something better.

But yeah I still think it's possible Connor ends up doing it, if he were to agree to terms with UFC and then announce it as his last fight then numbers would be huge for 200.

 

Apr 19, 2016

It almost seems too predictable, Conor McGregor the arrogant prick quitting because of money and because he couldn't get his way then f---in off. I can definitely see him coming back whether it's at 200 or not

 

Apr 19, 2016

Gonna make himself look even more ridiculous now if he does end up doing it and gets beat again.

 

Apr 19, 2016

He fights for money, and if he is not being paid what he is worth then he's not going to do it. This has nothing to do with being an "arrogant prick" this is a business decision. It seems like Zuffa and Conor have come to an impasse. So now they are taking their disagreement public. The fans will vote with their dollars, and they want to see Conor. There is too much money on the table for both sides for this not to be resolved.

Apparently there's not enough. Pathetic.

 

Apr 20, 2016

I'm a massive fan, I meant "Conor the arrogant prick" as in like the persona he has to the public. I wasn't bashing him I was just saying it sort of fits into a potential narrative, if a publicity stunt is possible

 

Apr 20, 2016

Conor and Ronda have done the most promo for the UFC the last 2 years. He knows it's part of the game and has to be done

I think it's definitely about money

Conor asked for more, UFC refused.

Now there's a power struggle and see will the UFC cave in.

 

Apr 20, 2016

Diaz is flying in to discuss a new opponent and they're also adding another fight to the card.

Tyron Woodley has been on the shelf for over a year, it's time to add him to the card. Lawler has been up Dana's a--- about getting on UFC 200, but Dana said he'll likely fight Woodley during 200 or 201.
Maybe they'll add it to 200 now, but that's just me dreaming.

Woodley's a beast and needs to get back in the octagon, dude is must watch TV

 

Apr 20, 2016

can't imagine him being added, as exciting a fighter he is, his personality is as dry as paint

they'll want someone who will sell PPV's & that's not Robbie( Unless GSP comes back to fight him )

 

Apr 20, 2016

I think they're announcing somehing on ESPN in about an hour or so

UFC 200 press conference about to start, assume we will get some type of announcement for the Main Event.

 

Apr 22, 2016

Is there even a confirmed co-main event for UFC 200 or did they just end up running a press conference for an event that doesn't have either of its main events locked in yet?

 

Apr 22, 2016

It was a Press conference that they had planned i assume with ppl coming to Vegas from around the world. Conor not showing up wasnt reason enough for them to scrap the press conference.

And i assume the Co Main will be Tate/Nunes at this point(although Edgar/Aldo 2 is the better fight, its for a fake title) unless they add a Robbie Lawler Title fight AND Jones/DC 2. Find it hard to believe they would put 4-5 round fights on the PPV.
