Conor McGregor is a legendary fighter in the UFC even after his departure from the UFC there are still many fans who expect him to return to fight there even though he has to move up to a higher class than before because now he is a big man who is quite stocky.
He is one of the UFC fighters who managed to have more than 2 titles simultaneously with different classes.

But it doesn't look like he's coming back to fight in the UFC and now Conor McGregor has huge wealth so why would he come back to fight.
In some news that I read, the President of the UFC also stated that he would no longer take Conor McGregor to fight there.

Aw! Look at that perfect form of Mackenzie Dern truly an amazing sight to behold, well thanks for sharing the photo bro, at first I was who is that angel but seeing that round! legs I was 100% and search that photo of her on the internet, here is the photo



This is a hard fight to say but Marvin Vettori has proven that he has more fight IQ than Paulo Costa Jared Cannonier, for me Cannonier has those shifting strikes like the blitz but he has control over where to throw those punches while shifting stance, while Costa can control Cannonier to the ground but for me, Jared Cannonier surely has some ground and pound game aswell, for me this is going to be a close match but Jared cannonier is likely I am seeing that could win this match,


Conor McGregor is one guy that drives the audience's attention to him pretty much where ever he goes the crowd is always will look upon him and he is the favorite in this fight because of those many fans, but for me, Khabib Nurmagomedov doesn't really been affected by it but it gives him the motivation to Smesh! Conor McGregor even more,

But he is really good at making words and keeping his demeanor unshaken, for sure the Charisma of McGregor is on a high level I would like to say is it is over 9999,

No, I absolutely understand that. Of course, Conor McGregor deserves to get a good amount of money from the UFC because if I remember correctly he has most of the fights that made the UFC the most money. I am not saying he should not get the money he deserves.

What I was trying to say is it was a bad decision to arrange the fight between him and Floyd Mayweather. The amount of money that he got from that fight literally got to his head. He was not the same fighter before and after the Floyd Mayweather fight. Even Dana White was not in favour of arranging this fight between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.

I don’t think Connor McGregor is going to be a money generator for that UFC anymore. And if they want to keep his name respectful, I think it will be better if they do not put him against a decent fighter.

This guy is insane and I dont think he was officially married with mother of his child.
I think this is not the first time Conor McGregor was accused for raping a women, and this guy is Dana White number one UFC star  
Oh wait I almost forgot incident with Dana White beating and slapping his own wife in public, so they have something in common.
This is very bad example for kids and terrible commercial for MMA sports and UFC.

Speaking of Conor McGregor, it looks like he has himself a new problem as a woman has come forward to say he raped her at game 4 of the NBA playoffs. Not sure how much truth their is to the story as I believed McGregor was happily married and in a committed relationship, but he’s going to have to address this situation either way.

Conor has actually given 10 times and even more money to UFC than UFC has given to Conor. This man made UFC tremendously famous and popular. Doesn't such a man deserve too much money from any company? You can't have a showman/salesman that brings millions of dollars in profit without paying him some decent money. I would argue on this one and say that Conor was underpaid.
By the way, Conor's aim was to get out of poverty and live a luxury lifestyle. When he achieved this, he lost his fire, he liked coke and hot girls too much, got distracted. You can't have coke and sleep with bunch of girls and be number one fighter at the same time. He wants both but that's impossible, that's why he lost against Khabib.

To be honest, I have no idea why he plans to fight Chandler. Have a look at Conor, he drinks whiskey, he has fun and doesn't train, how is this man going to do an amazing comeback? He won't be able to beat Chandler and will only add shame to Conor's name. He lost his mind!

Conor still appears in the Miami Heat game which he hit the mascot twice that end the mascot guy in ER, this is in relation to promoting a pain relief spray. Yep, he really can promote a product but this time he is in limbo while Dana lost the money makers including the recent Nunes.

Khamzat is one big bogeyman who can promote but it's just not a good timing when it comes to geopolitics. There was a time when Fedor can bring a crowd to UFC.

Actually, UFC should also be blamed for the downfall of Conor McGregor. They have given him too much money and that’s why he does not care anymore. After the Conor McGregor versus Floyd Mayweather fight, Conor McGregor was absolutely out of the mindset of fighting. He took his millions of dollars and went to live an extravagant lifestyle. But the UFC should have known that they would face this situation. They should have been getting ready for this.

Right now, I don’t see anyone who can actually make so much noise as Conor McGregor did. He was the reason why UFC became more popular all around the world.

Khamzat Chimaev, in terms of showman and promoter, is absolutely nothing compared to Conor McGregor.
Just have a look at this legendary weigh-in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGWb1DRo_mo
Have a look at this legendary celebration of second belt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Szj21arytU
Have a look at this too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOl7x8eF8Fs

There are tons of videos, tons of moments that Conor made memorably, not in a good way but his actions payed well. Or one should be as furious as Mike Tyson to sell fights but we have no one like Mike in UFC, Chechen fighters win fights but their fight style is very boring, boxing sells better than wrestling. Yes, Dustin Poirier is a good boxer, for example but not as furious as Mike Tyson, he is very soft compared to Mike. AS it seems, the ship is sinking without Conor. Conor's unique ability was that he was spitting on opponents faces but he was beating them after that.

I don’t think a villain is even going to work because Khamzat Chimaev is actually a great villain who started to make some noise. But he is not as interesting as he was before.

The only thing that is going to skyrocket the popularity of the UFC again is someone like Conor McGregor or Muhammad Ali. These are the people who are the best at selling fights. They can talk so well that they can sell almost anything. We know that the fighters which are emerging from Chechnya, the homeland of Khabib Nurmagomedov are very good, but I don’t think they are good at selling fights. And if a fighter cannot get people to see him fight it does not matter to some extent how he fights.

They need a new villain.
This kind of strategy does work. People hate the other guy but he keeps on winning his fights. It can boost the market by a lot because people would love to see the villain being banged hard after a boastful win. Or just looking for their new hero that would silence the beast.
Even if it's not totally a villain, just that arrogant fighter that could make the fans go wild in their imagination of how he will look when he is beaten up. Like the Diaz brothers. But I do love those two, the heart of not giving up even if their bleeding like hell.

It's like a series. Race to three or four. They keep on making matches on two fighters especially if they are tied in the series. There's the thought of "they are equally matched" so predicting the winner is difficult and the fans will be divided because of that, so it will click on the market even if they just keep on fighting over and over.

^  Vettori has more volume, he's a better wrestler and prolly more durable than Cannonier even though Cannonier looks like a scary gorrila.  But there's something about Cannonier that makes fighters become less aggressive and less likely to follow the same game plan that they originally have.  It turns them into counter strikers just like him.  Lol.  Maybe it's the..  Oh I don't know...  His KO power? 

But yeah, I have Cannonnier but not that confident to put a bet on it.

Trivia for YuginKadoya - guess the kitten



Now to Vettori vs Cannonier, who do you think gonna win? If look on paper, then Cannonier gonna try to KO Vettori, while Vettori gonna throw more accented punches and do more control. Why Vettori often say he gonna KO his opponent, when he usually wins by sub or decision? All of his losses are also bu decision. Is Cannonier gonna be first one who would KO Marvin? What can Vettori show, if among all of his UFC fight, only two ended by early stoppage. Either Vettori dont have enough skills for early finish, or likes to brawl. In a brawl, Cannonier with high KO % is my favorite.

Well, we can say the least if Jared Cannonier or Marvin Vettori could now have a chance against Adesanya but for me, Jared Cannonier could have a slight chance, but this is just my intuition saying but in reality, because of Vettori's great performance against Paulo Costa and having much weight from him and he still manages to win this that fight could also indicate that Marvin Vettori has upped his game but for sure Jared Canonier has a slight chance to Adesanya than Vettori,

For me, Arman Tsarukyan is more technical than his opponent Joaquim Silva, But this is just for I will be looking at Arman Tsarukyan's fight against Mateusz Gamrot and how he lost against him while Joaquim Silva's fight with Ricky Glenn if I could see a chance for the other fight to use this footage for themselves,


I think they know what is they are after they fight each other if they want a title shot they shy can't they if they know in themselves that they can now defeat Israel Adesanya then why not, but for sure this is one crucial fight for them but for me in my opinion I think going to money fights will be OK with them, they now experience Israel Adesanya and they also witness the down fall and rise of Israel Adesanya again, i think they know what they are doing now,

I bet this all is staged just to get attention to NBA and TUF new season, where McGregor is one of the couches. In case someone watches that show, then Conor third fighter lost his fight. This is 3-0 in Chandler favor right now. I think show is loosing views and audience, because Chandler is doing something with his team, but Conors strategy is "I am not a teacher in kindergarten. If they want to be champs, they have to give their best".

Lol, I cant simply pass that meme Belal is such a boring and one sided fighter, that people make fun of that in the internet.

I'm not sure if you all have heard or posted anything about the incident involving McGregor, where he inadvertently knocked out the Miami Heat mascot with two punches. Although it seems to have been unintentional and a part of that show announcement it was still an aggressive act from a UFC fighter who was meant to be a guest at the NBA Finals event and announce the partnership.
The mascot, who had no connection to McGregor unfortunately suffered the consequences and been sent to hospital. In my opinion the announcement of the partnership between UFC and the NBA went terribly wrong as it is inappropriate to blend a professional fighting sport like UFC with other sports in such a violent manner.

Charles Oliveira deserves a shot at the title for sure I will be seeing to it that he is the new and improved version and Islam Makhachev might be training right now after seeing this performance that Charles Oliveira did with Beneil Dariush but I guess Islam Makhachev has already improved so much because of what Alexander Volkanovski has done to him he outwrestled Makhachev in their fight for sure Makhachev will have an answer the next time they fight,

For sure Charles Oliveira will keep on battling inside the Octagon after that fight with Beneil Dariush and what he has said in the fight interview he has shouted who is the champion for sure he is ready for a rematch with Makhachev, while Amanda Nunes is free from fighting and have settled a great life with her family,


I agree, Marvin Vettori and Jared Cannoneer will always look for fights just because of the money for now if Israel Adesanya is still champion they can not attain the belt as long as Izzy is still here, and instead of going for the Hunter (Izzy) they will go with the easy fight for money, while the losses will be the gateway for the upcoming prospect of the Middleweight,


Fighting the top guys can assure a large sum of money even though if they lost that fight, or maybe they are getting those title shot fight expecting to defeat the champion this time with a lucky punch, or a fluke win, I don't really know what they are thinking but they surely want to give it a try even though they might end up losing it, but maybe your suggestion could be seen by the UFC as an idea for those boring same fights,

At this moment, I believe UFC is going through it muted time. I think the way they will be able to be back in every sports conversation is if they get someone like Conor McGregor again, who can talk really well. They really need someone who can sell fights like Conor McGregor did. And we all know that Conor McGregor could sell any fight. We saw really good potential in Israel Adesanya, but he is becoming boring day by day. Paddy Pimblett also had shown the potential for selling fights. But he was nowhere near the level of Conor McGregor.

Moreno was a tough match up for Fig tho, who at the time Fig was like thought to dominate 125 for years like how Anderson Silva dominated the middle weight division.  Little did we know there was a little guy from Mexico who would change the landscape in the fly weight division.

Anyway looking more closely at this weekend's match ups, it could be one of those cards for underdogs.  There could be around 7 underdogs winning it.  Should've thought it over before making my picks at the Multi Master.

If a fighter is dominant in one division, then he must more up or down, to be able to hold two belt. But even that wont add much of an entertainment. As he hold a belt, he will fight other division champion, he wont have to beat 2-4 guys in other division to get a title fight.

Regards Whittaker already lost 2 times to Adesanya and should not fight him for third time - that is the problem of all fighters. Lets say they have already "spent their skill points on skill they have". Results of the third fight will be same as first, win by Adesanya. Or there is a small chance of a lucky punch by Whittaker. Nearly 99.99% of fighters fight in same style and tactics over and over again. If you won them several times, then you have read them like a book, cracked them, found key to their defense. The best way is to reroll to other class (like in RPG lol ), but in fighting it impossible to become a wrestler to next fight, while you have been a boxer for entire life. Fighters need years. But they want all and now.
