Lol at you warping the stats in your favor. Khabib has gotten all but one of his opponents down well within the 2 minutes of the fight. And Conor is not even on the same planet as prime juiced Tibau when it comes to TDD.You have to really hate Conor to think that a guy who routinely lands only somewhere around 30-40% of his takedowns, and who has gone to and past the 3rd round with such exemplary grapplers like Johnson and Iaquinta, is going to hit his first takedown and finish the fight quickly against Conor.
Doubt it but nothing wrong with wishful thinking. If he still wanted to fight then he'd have a contract already.If he was a normal well adjusted human being he could live several lifetimes with the money he already has made but much like Floyd he isn't a normal well adjusted human being so Conor will spend everything he's made and be back in the ring sooner rather than later.
And btw, Nate got Conor down twice and he only has 30% TD accuracy.
dolly thing hurt conor big time. it something that if not handled right will cost him a working us visa.
I'm not warping anything. I'm talking about TDs and you're moving the goal posts to ground defense. He got taken down twice. That is a simple fact.Nate took Conor down in their first fight and was immediately swept. He took Conor down in their second fight only after 24:30 minutes of fighting and 6 failed takedowns.
But sure, please tell me more about warping stats in my favour.
Yeah I agree. When they announced Floyd vs Conor I figured they must have locked him into a contract extension as part of the deal. Apparently they just gave him the massive payday with basically no strings.I really thought the UFC would have a deal where Conor got incredible money for 5 or more fights. 1 in boxing against Floyd and the rest in the UFC. I figured Conor actually didn't make that much on the Floyd fight, but the value would be spread out. That would be the UFC's guarantee Conor would return to the UFC and continue being a big PPV draw for them.
It looks like they actually just paid him a massive sum of money and have accepted he will retire a 'UFC celebrity'.
Either his celebrity status gives so much exposure to MMA that this is somehow worthwhile to them or they seriously fucked up in the contract negotiations. Either way the fans of the sport got fucked.
Given the space Conor was in financially do you really think he wouldn't have accepted $15 million a fight for 5-10 fights with the UFC after the Floyd fight? Why would they give him one massive payday. They had him under contract. He had no leverage.

The deal was he boxes Mayweather in August then was suppose to do Nate 3 in December. Conor reneged on his end after taking home like 30-40 mil after paying taxes and paying everyone their cut including the UFC who acted as his manager. I can't say I blame him.I really thought the UFC would have a deal where Conor got incredible money for 5 or more fights. 1 in boxing against Floyd and the rest in the UFC.

Nate is a monster off his back so that is not good for Conor. Conor was trying to stand and couldn't. And so what about the second fight? Nate's TDs are actual garbage. Conor should not be struggling to defend them at all if he wants to stop Khabib.Nah mate, it's just pretty important to point out that one takedown actually ended with Nate on his back and Conor on top, and the other went 1/7 across 25 minutes of fighting.
I'm pretty sure it was a fairly common opinion that this would happen.I really thought the UFC would have a deal where Conor got incredible money for 5 or more fights. 1 in boxing against Floyd and the rest in the UFC.

He'll settle out of court. But he'll lose a lot of money.
Dana must have been really happy that day.

Has he announced his retirement or is OP being a silly boy?
