    He's baaaaaaaack....

    He wouldn't tweet that out fucking around, would he? Looks like the live gate that Jones' pulled did not impress the UFC at all. Conor is needed, win or lose.

    Or DC won't be healthy in time and they are going to put it off until the NYC card.

    Either way, glad cooler heads prevailed.

    Or not.

    JJ/DC 2 still a strong possibility to headline UFC 200.

    My final theory on this whole situation:

    The UFC brass saw the public disapproval to the rematch being made. On top of that, it was a stupid WW fight that was headlining over two title fights. The negative feedback put the UFC into a spin to fix their problem.

    Solution? Conor and the UFC are pretty chummy. Basically, Conor takes a bit of a dive and creates some controversy in which neither he or the UFC look loke total bad guys and both look at fault.

    Has anyone ever seen DFW this content with one of his fighters creating this type of controversy? And then he says Conor will probably headline 202 vs the winner of Frankie/Aldo which is also what fans wanted. If this was a serious issue, DFW would have stripped McGoat of his belt.

    I expect this entire thing to die off by the end of the week and I expect DC/JJ II To be announced.

    Idk man. Seems like a pretty elaborate way to lose out on tens of millions of dollars.

    Dc jones 2 wont sell like mcgregor diaz 2 would title shot or not.

    Not having your #1 seller headlining ufc 200 is just crazy.

    The only solution that made sense with no conor was gsp in terms of sales.

    Plus, if they would have kept mcgregor diaz on the card, he still could have fought again at 202 or 203 defending the title. Edgar aldo are fighting at 200 anyways so.... winner is probably gonna need the same amount of time off.

    What if Aldo or Edgar get hurt? Do they ask Conor to step in?

    Any card with McGoat is going to sell though. 200, 201, 202...214..whatever it may be, it'll sell at this point. When it may not sell is if he's coming of back 2 back losses to Nate Diaz in a stupid pointless rematch. I don't dislike the rematch personally, I just don't see the need for it right now and I don't see the need for it at all at 170. If it was at 155, then I'd understand.

    Honestly, what shocked me the most out of this entire ordeal is DFW saying that Conor is not being looked at for the NYC card...are you on crack? Outside of Boston, I don't know if there is a city in the USA in which the Irish people love and are loved in. I feel this card will be bigger name wise than UFC 200.

    The Fertittas are Vegas mobsters. They are going to let McGregor twist in the wind for challenging them. Station Casinos is still the only non-union casino chain in Vegas. They do not bend.

    It has to be Jones vs. Cormier. Cormier was scheduled for an MRI yesterday. If an announcement is coming soon, I'm assuming it all went well.

    Robbie Lawler will headline 201, Conor will headline 202...RDA will be on one of those cards vs Khabib. We won't hear anything about a Conor/Nate rematch until next year.
