Since Zuffa took over in the early 00s to present WME ZERO stars were made under their watch/es. Zuffa walked in with already made stars [Tito,Chuck,Randy,Vitor, even GSP made himself] and none under WME [Ronda and Conor made themselves] The superstar the UFC went out of their way to make was Dana White. They arrogantly think that the UFC brand is what sells. not the fighters. This is why they've put out crap card after crap card and expect people to pay to watch it. Now they expect people to pay $80 for a PPV next year. So as frustrating as Conor's antics can be as a fan the deserves it for not making any stars to fill the void.

I did not even think in my wildest imagination that someone here woudl be saying "he has a chance against Manny" WTF like? Conor got carried into the later ronunds by Mayweather, mainly so the fight looked competitive and Mayweather wont get shat on for taking such a bogus fight. If Manny goes in there and wants to finish Conor, he could probably do it in under two rounds. I hope to see Conor v Ferguson or at the very least Conor v Diaz. There is no way Ferguson should agree to fight Khabib (which is looking likely atm) unless he is either made undisputed Lightweight champion or gets to fight Conor first.

Gintonious wrote: » Never said he had "no chance", but has an extremely low chance. But, I do love a good argument... Reasons: - He isn't a boxer, at all. Once he actually tried to box Mayweather it all fell apart. You can reference that one uppercut till the cows come home. His footwork was crap, he speed was average, his power wasn't dangerous. He looked properly lost after round 3. - Pacs pace (even at his age now) is savage, he pushes the pace and has serious power, he deformed some of his opponents. What ever else about the reasons above, I want him back in MMA for Christ's sake, he has danced around UFC now for over a year. Boxing gets him the money, but would anyone really want to see him get punched around again for a few dozen million? Not I. Go back, defend his belt. Simple as that. If he goes after boxing again then ill leave it at that.

He didn't seem his usual composed self early on and was rushing at the start of every round. I don't think mcgregor hits as hard as alot of people seem to think, but I also don't think its as weak as it looks. He seems to have a deceptive power, you could see alot of physical reactions from mayweather whenever mcgregor landed. Paquiao is a completely different style, better in some ways and worse in others. More of a dangerous combination puncher than mayweather but he's got a short reach and leaps in alot which would give mcgregor alot of openings for counters. If he wants to box so be it, people should just be grateful he's willing to put his health on the line for our entertainment. The belt/rankings/defending is nonsense in mma. The rankings mean nothing, there's too many ways to lose, any decent fighter can beat any other decent fighter on any given day and that's just a fact. The hard part is for fighters to get enough consecutive wins to earn matchups against higher ranked fighters, doesn't mean they're worse because the #14 they lost to could possibly beat #3 if only they were given a chance.
