I don't really disagree with you, their severe lack of stars has prolonged his mainevent run/paydays.

It's also why Jon Jones can literally do anything and come back.

the main dude doing that these days got $60 million to do an exhibition bout against a you tuber.
Fans like Mcgregor a lot better than that dude.

Mecca is a dude who wears a ponytail and has been shitting on MMA for years **** him

I'm not comparing that product, they lack stars and are generally boring themselves.

**** Conor with a rusty 12 foot pole. What an absolute dickhead.

Connor - there was no checked kick

Joe - let's show 8 replays in slow motion of the checked kick that likely caused the break

The only thing that would have been better is if Dustin had told Conor to try swaggering out of the Octagon with his floppy leg.

What a horrible take.

It's not about entertainment in the UFC. It's about dominance.

Why are you comparing a real sport to WWE?

Connor's brashness only worked because he was backing it up by beating everyone. He built a huge a fanbase and is a huge star. GSP was just as big and carried that organization without any antics. He had the personality of a wet rag in WWE terms. He acted like a martial artist and never lost. The "never lost" part is what made him so huge.

There wasn't a WWE comment in there...they have a serious star problem and it's why they'll keep running Connor back out there.

McGregor vs Logan Paul coming soon

The PPV buys are fine, they are killing it at the gate, have some international stars with the African champs, dont even have to travel the rest of the year for fight nights.

The UFC is doing fine regardless of what casuals like Mecca says. He hasnt even watched a fight since Lesnar I bet.

McGregor hasn't done ****in shit since the Mayweather boxing match other than run his mouth and act like a damn clown.

Read somewhere that Conor will get between $20-30 million for that fight.

UFC popularity is not declining. What makes you think that?

I haven't watched UFC in quite a while, but was at a friends last night and we bought the fight.

Monster energy hair guy Moutihno ate a million punches and kept pursuing like a goddamn T2. At some point you've gotta stop letting him hit you in the mouth. I've never seen a human do that lol

I'm sure it wasn't a secret. She was probably going to try and get him to promote her charity.

Yeah that whole thing is weird. Either she was trying to bait him in or she's a ****ing moron. Maybe both perhaps.
