They will,have you not been watching,Conor's not frightened of anyone and Dana White doesn't protect em.
If they can find Conor an equal in selling power at his weight UFC would outsell ODLH/Mayweather with ease. They don't stack the cards in boxing anymore.
You're the one who hasn't been watching. His career was micro managed at 45 before the Aldo fight. They keep him away from wrestlers apart from mendes who only had a weeks training. They avoided him defending his title against Edgar, he shouldn't have even been given the title shot at 55. We'll see if they make the Khabib fight but given that they have to protect their one big PPV attraction I have my doubts.
Edgar pulled out twice due to injury. That's my only defense in what you said. Everything else is accurate.
As far as I can recall (and you can correct me if I'm mistaken) it only happened once when he took his name out of the running when he was allegedly offered a last minute replacement for the RDA fight at 55, citing an injury. Edgar was the n.1 contender when he was leapfrogged by Mcgregor for the interim title and then later ducked when Mcgregor ran out of the division to avoid him. When asked by media whether they wanted to face his n.1 contender he and his coach insisted they were more interested in an Aldo rematch.
Not true. Diaz was supposed to be a tune up. McGregor wasn't supposed to need two fights to be given a decision.
Yeah definitely needs a rematch, but Woodley can only blame himself with his lacadaisical effort, and low cage IQ. He kept backing himself into the cage and letting Thompson land pitty pat. When he did finally catch Thompson, instead of pounding him into submission, he went for a submission, and couldn't get it. He is a wrestler, he should have taken Thompson down and worked for a better position for ground and pound or a better submission attempt, instead of pulling him into a guillotine, which ended up giving Thompson top position. That fight shouldn't have gotten out of the fourth round. SMH@Woodley.
He did move up 25lbs in fairness. The equivalent of Brook v GGG, but he pulls out so he fights Kova instead... High risk high reward. But it's why it's more popular than boxing.
Not really into UFC but heard that the card was stacked from top to bottom. Like I said not into UFC so don't know the fighters but sick of the constant ducking and politics of boxing, so could someone who maybe has knowledge of both compare the undercard of last night in the UFC to what it's equivalent in boxing would be? Just interested in seeing what kind of matches are made in comparison. Thanks
