Conor might want to fight again it seems but we shall see since this is always an adventure in itself
He was gracious in defeat to Poirier and both men are talking potential of a trilogy. Also Khabib slapped Conor upside the head with his fresh baldy cut and Conor said they can meet in the ring if Khabib wants to back up his words
That Khabib fight def not happening anytime soon unless Khabib wants to hurt him and Dana backs up the money truck but him and Dustin going again could happen

Nunes is one of Dana's biggest pets. She's goes years without defending her belt, is allowed to gallivant around in a non-division and keeps getting multiple headliners and high-profile co-mains even though fans HATE her.
Complete cap, what fans hate her? She fought twice in 2018 and twice in 2019. She only fought once last year for obvious reasons with the pandemic and she said she was going to take time off since her and Nina were having a baby Look at the graphic posted above. Three times she’s been the A-side and her biggest draw was 100k. More then 90% less then her predecessor and with two of those having strong undercards. Fans don’t want to watch her fight. |

Spencer fight should not count during the Pandemic I can even make an excuse for the other two since she was a newly crowned champ against Valentina and the Pennington was a straight up Brazil card where she was the only champ fighting It isn't as cut and dry Besides that, not wanting to see her is not the same as hating her. I can hate McGregor but still want to see him fight. The Pennington fight def should count against her but Spencer is a wash |

And you can’t use a Brazil card or a weak opponent. Ronda headlined a Brazil card against Bethe where the undercard were TUF contestants and a washed up Lil Nog, and still did a million buys. |

He's done well at SBG obviously, but has he realisitcally peaked there? |

I can hate McGregor but still want to see him fight. The Pennington fight def should count against her but Spencer is a wash Not to mention that it's a promoters job to promote. I think GSP was one of the most boring fighters ever (very good, but a chore to watch, 85% of the time), but he always did great numbers. That's because the UFC put the whole machine behind him. Anderson Silva was a knockout artist who made for fun fights to watch, but he speaks zero English. They still made him a star. Ronda basically knows one shtick, and it's "I'm a badass bitch who's gonna shittalk all the way up to the fight". It sells, and of course, the UFC put the machine behind her. I mean, yeah, you can't go out there and have humdrum fights and expect to be a star, but when Nunes is out there starching fools left and right, there's ZERO excuse for her to not be a priority. |

I think with the case of GSP, Anderson, and Conor(Bisping as well, to a lesser extent) you also have the nationalist angle where they got (seemingly) their entire respective countries behind them. |

I'm happy for Dustin.... the guy has been busting his a$$ and you can tell. Glad he is earning the fruits of that labor. I don't think Conor is done necessarily, but I think his head is not 100% in the UFC and thus, he isn't the fighter he was.
