That was his first loss while he was popular. He fought a Diaz. The personality clash. He has been washed his last two fights. Tho, they have been his most popular opponents too. He won't have a problem selling, either as the main or co-main. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Have we heard any news as to why Stipe Miocic hasn't fought? Was he just taking time off after having his daughter or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've sold a combined 7M PPVs though, he lost in a boxing fight to the GOAT boxer and in a grappling match against the GOAT grappler. Lets be real here, the UFC is putting 2-3 title fights on a card and doing 1/3 of what Conor brings in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like some of his fights have pissed off enough people to where they are leary of him. I agree Conor is easily #1 and while I was excited about this card, the casuals are the ones that drive buy numbers and I cant imagine they are big on the 2 I mentioned Askren is actually one of the bigger draws in the company now and Jones is probably the second biggest draw after Conor. It's sad because Colby Covington and Ben Askren are both top 5 fighters in terms of popularity right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 The UFC needs Conor more than Conor needs the UFC at this point so that's why they are going to let him call his shots. He's set for life and making crazy money from his whiskey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an amateur boxer against the GOAT and in a glorified grappling match after a 2-year layoff. He's 9-2 in the UFC with the only two losses being fights where the odds were extremely stacked against him, he's still a household name because he takes fights that no other guy on the roster would ever even consider taking.

And which part of any of that was I discussing? Lol And I'm pretty sure Khabib has fought a lot of people. And a lot people would fight Floyd for 50 million+. But let's not continue this cause it is pretty pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor didn't need to ever fight again, he chose to take the most difficult matchup he could take after a 2-year layoff. Half the UFC doesn't even want to fight and guys would rather sit out and beg for a title shot than work their way up the rankings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
