How do you get casuals, who the UFC is targeting with the potential rubber match, to boycott something they sporadically watch anyway?
Dont watch this event. Majority of people on prefer to see him fight T ferg. If the UFC chooses to let nate get the title shot, they need to learn

Very good point. I wonder about the long game, though. If he Conor fights Nate, UFC has created an interim belt in a division with a perfectly healthy champion, simply because the champ doesn't defend the belt. Maybe that reduces overall interest in UFC? Eh, probably not, I dunno.The majority of sherdogger's does not translate to the majority of people.
I would also like him to fight Ferguson but it's simply not true that the general public would prefer to see him fight Ferguson, 99.9% of the general public have no idea who Ferguson is, McGregor vs Diaz probably does 500k more than the Ferguson fight, now I don't care about that but to expect a business and the fighters not to care is naive.
Why Bacon and raw pork? Thats a waste of Bacon FFS. Why on horseback?I say we should organize and ride to WME headquarters on horseback. Upon arriving, we will pelt the building with bacon and raw pork. Any ideas for chants?

Its possible to boycott and not be a democrat. Republicans are boycotting the NFLDon't you have an Antifa rally to be at, or don't you have to head over to Berkeley for a protest soon?

I agree, there has always been a pretty good reason for Conor to not defend his belt before this (double champ, avenge a loss to Nate and the Floyd fight).Very good point. I wonder about the long game, though. If he Conor fights Nate, UFC has created an interim belt in a division with a perfectly healthy champion, simply because the champ doesn't defend the belt. Maybe that reduces overall interest in UFC? Eh, probably not, I dunno.
Why!! This is a typical Shertard thread.Dont watch this event. Majority of people on prefer to see him fight T ferg. If the UFC chooses to let nate get the title shot, they need to learn

You mean you casuals. A "hardcore" actually grasps the concept of why the Nate vs Conor 3 fight would happen, while also appreciating the fact that Tony and Conor should be fighting next but may not be, to finish the 1-1 trilogy, where the current champ was finished in the first fight and only won a maj dec in the second fight. A hardcore would also grasp that if Conor were to fight Tony, a fight with Nate prior, wouldn't be a bad thing to use as a "tune up" fight, and make more money in that tuneup, then in the unification bout against Tony. Plus, if Conor gets beat by Nate, the fight to make would be Nate vs Tony, unification bout in Mexico City or LA, and would generate a lot of buzz plus interest, while also branding dif faces in the ufc and mma, beside Conor. Which, the UFC def needs right now, more household known faces to promote, not just Conor's. And if Conor fights Tony and gets beat, the money fight against Nate, isn't as big of a deal any longer and Conor would prob want a rematch before fighting Nate again or anybody else.I like your idea. Unfortunately us ''hardcores'' make up about .00001% of the viewership...
Why? GSP is getting a title shot.. at least Nate has a finish win over the current Champ and beat him last, plus is ranked in the top 6 in the same weight class as the guy he beat. It's not odd for a top ten fighter to get a title shot. Most casuals were upset TJ didn't get a title shot against DJ, yet he wasn't even ranked and had never fought at 125.. so Nate getting a title shot makes more sense then TJ or GSP getting one in a dif weight class, and not even being ranked or have fought there before.Im ok with the Nate fight, but it should not be for a belt. Make it a 157 catchweight fight and Im all in.
