The odds were extremely stacked against him vs Diaz?

A week notice, fighting against a completely different opponent stylistically, 15 pounds heavier than he was training for, with a staph infection? Diaz isn’t a great fighter but style’s make matchups in MMA and Diaz on short notice with no time to prepare for his style? Yeah the odds were stacked against him.

It doesnt matter if the ufc needs him more or not. Thats not how business works. If conor makes demands the ufc doesnt want they can easily move on and not miss a beat. Conor doesnt need the ufc at all but the ufc doesnt really need him either. . 

The UFC’s sales tanked in 2017 & 2018 outside of then McGregor card. Which is why Fox offered the UFC $250M for their TV rights when the UFC requested $500M. The ESPN deal doesn’t get done with Conor’s recent success.

Prepare? Conor punched himself gasses as if he didn’t already know Diaz has a chin? Still a dumb move

man there are so many exciting fighters around the lower end of the rankings/just outside the rankings at Welterweight. Niko and Zaleski putting on a show today. You've got Luque and Ponzi making waves, and Edwards vs Nelson next week. All these guys have been going under the radar, but it's about time people start paying attention.
