Sure we can speculate about their perspective but I wouldn't be surprised if they allowed Conor to box again if the money is right. I just think it's pointless to speculate about this whole thing, specially knowing that Dana and the UFC backtrack on so many things, like when he said that women would never fight in the UFC lol. I understand your pov about the legacy thing but I disagree with the notion that Fedor, Khabib or Francis got their legacies hurt by the unknown, some people might feel that way but I find it silly. The UFC has more depth but my whole point was that there's talent everywhere, someone like Cain didn't have a resume full of former UFC fighters or name recognition when he signed with the UFC but that clearly didn't matter, Bellator has actually signed many former UFC fighters through the years and they are merging with PFL now
