Pretty good Dana interview on FS1. Doesn't say anything too noteworthy though.

I don't give a **** if it was staged and the whole McGregor thing in general is an act, I want to see him sparked the **** out.

Conor's 30 for 30 would obviously be called "Notorious"

At least half of it would be clips of him snorting cocaine
The other half of it is just his tweets

No way was that staged. Have you seen the video of it?

To me, it looked like Conor and his crew got high on coke and in their mental state thought that this was a good idea.

Anthony Pettis has now been called upon to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov. He has yet to weigh in. He has an hour to do so. He was left opponentless after Chiesa got cut yesterday. UFC confirms. @MMAjunkie first reported.

I watched the weigh in and when felder made 155 on the dot he said championship weight so might have had an inkling max was having issues. He would be there for a fall back option.

UFC needs to follow One FC's lead and bring in hydration testing. Cutting weight is stupid

what a dumb fvck

Lots of sports guys have trouble with money but I think you're right, Conor is an absolute lock to be out of money in a few years. Aside from lawsuits and moronic spending habits he is easily dumb enough to get fleeced by every grasping "money manager" that walks by.

So McGregor likely keeps the official title right? Unless they strip him for his coke antics.

Pettis/Khabib can't be for the official belt

You underestimate Dana's willingness to use belts as a marketing/ppv-selling ploy

Yeah, what a disaster.

McGregor/Khabib if it happens will be the biggest fight in UFC history easily though.

2m+ buys

How much money did Connor just cost the lolUFC?

4 Billon probably sounds pretty damn good right now

Conor being directly responsible for the cancellation of three fights makes it less likely that Dana will want to work with him in the future.

He's the cash cow. Who else is there?

Bones? Suspended all the time

GSP? semi-retired? Brock? Ditto

In 6 months this will all be an afterthought IMO. Him and Khabib will do huge #'s.

It's not like Dana or the UFC has any integrity. They're fight promoters, they're just going to chase the $.

Khabib vs GSP for the money now. Promote the heck out of Ortega and up and comers for the future.

But yes, I agree that they'll do business with Conor again in the future. They were looking at November as things already stood, which would have been 2 years since Conor's last UFC fight. If they have to wait another 6 months and put a full year in between this incidence and his next fight, that oughtta do it.

Yeah they just need Khabib to have one fight in between but that's the big obvious one and after all this will be if anything even more hyped than ever before. Khabib is also a great trash talker in his own right.2m buys easy.
