This guy is the true definition of Shut up and Fight. He fought Eddie in 2016 then went to play footsie with Floyd for 2 years. Then took another 2 years off to beat Cerrone who should have already retired, to then drop 2 to Dustin. Wait but Conor is the gorilla right?
Nothing like...
In this imaginary world Conor get murked by Hughes. Matt's ground game was top notch for the time and Conor's ground game is practically non existent, even after all this time.
So a guy who got KO'ed in his first title defense is giving out career advice, awesome.
Jones doesn't pick his fights the UFC makes them.
Conor isn't coming back just talking a big game as always.
Jones is probably the most gifted MMA fighter we have seen in a long time. I am not so sure about your conclusion here. Hopefully we get to see this fight but I bet after Stipe jones retires.
Let's be honest here. First I do not like Conor at all. Second if Conor said he was going to fight this weekend at one of the 50 some odd UFC cards that is going to happen, it would sell out immediately. Press would be insane and the UFC stock would rise. I highly doubt the UFC doesn't want...
First it won't happen, second no one cares but Conor nut huggers. Chandler beats him, so what Conor hasn't had back to back wins in 8 years. Conor wins the world will explode but he would be crushed into tinny pieces by anyone in the Top 5 right now.
Its a garbage fight that is meaningless...
Francis before the KO but my guess is he will be KO'ed again know that it has happened. Just becomes more common once it happens. Boxing let's them get killed.
MMA doesn't wait for anyone. My guess is he comes back at 185 because making 170 just isn't in the cards anymore for him. He will be ok against a 6-10 ranked opponent but when he comes up against 1-5 he doesn't steamroll and probably loses.
More power too him. He left the UFC for a chance to earn some real money.
I agree retire disappear and ride it out. He won't though I bet he fights in the PFL and if he wins does another boxing match. If he gets KO'ed again he is done.
MMA standup vs Boxing is very different. Francis is a beast but Joshua is a top tier boxer and did what he needed too. Francis made his money, congrats. Let's hit the PFL and win an MMA match. Hopefully this KO isn't the beginning of more, which seems to happen once you get clipped like this.
The UFC likes it because they don't have stars anymore like they did 5-6 years ago. It also helps because there are 10 thousand cards a year so it fills more of them.
