    So Conor stayed home to concentrate on his training. Exactly as I predicted.

    What's he training for?
    At the end of this interview after the Diaz / Masvidal stoppage, Dana White says there are no fights lined up for Conor, nothing agreed, nothing on offer.

    His outlined 3 fight season plan looks ruined

    Yeah, he just doesn't have the sway he used to have with the UFC now. He used to call the shots and get what he wanted. Get the feeling that Dana is kinda sick of him at this stage. There's other fights that will sell, albeit not as big as a McGregor fight, but seems like they've moved on. They were successful pre McGregor and they'll continue to be without him.

    I really really really hope they don't sign off on a fight with Jorge at 170, would be an absolute massacre. I'd be happy with a fight with Cowboy and just take it from there. Cowboy will be no walkover but will sore what 2020 will look like for Conor.

    ^^^^

    Conor's last line of his comment sounds like someone who thought the ship was going to wait for him, but it looks to have sailed and left him standing on the dock.

    Sounds like he's aiming for the trilogy now, or just trying to get people to talk about him.

    Would it be possible that people just see it as too much of an investment to organise an event he is involved in and too much of a risk that he is either incarcerated or intoxicated?

    Is he now begging for fights that two years ago would have been a dead cert once he offered them.

    I think he must a just been putting out Jan 18th to try to affect some lenancy in the court case just gone,they did use the line how it would affect his career going forward in court.

    Now that its done i think he will probably fade away,at least until something gives with these allegations,either way the UFC aren't gonna book him in any fights,going on what Dana just said.

    Is he mentally and physically up to it now.

    His lifestyle now would be a pproblem if he was was playing Junior B football.

    Recent interviews etc don't show a great passion, dont show hunger or even conviction.

    Pun intended.

    Nevermind the Ufc maybe having moved on from him.

    Conor says January 18th, Kavanagh says fight announced soon, Ariel Helwani says there was no UFC event in January but they made one for Conor and now Dana says they never even talked?

    Some needed clarity on the situation, thank you.

    Seriously doubt the UFC will book him for a fight with outside issues hanging over him. I think McGregor is just keeping his name out there with the fight talk

    Issue. There's only one left. Money will sort that out.

    Conor is in no position to make the demands like before. Offering his purse to charity is, imo, a desperate attempt to keep himself relevant, which now he is not.
    With all of the issues hanging over him, long spell out of the ring, not defending his belts, losses etc he is not as investable as before.
    Sad really, he was exciting to watch, hilarious / cringey in equal measure to listen to.
    Now he he gets in the news for all the wrong reasons.

    "There is literally nothing done" - "There is literally nothing going on with Conor McGregor right now"

    Lads, the UFC or Dana has no morals, if and when Conor wants to fight he will fight.

    Just watching Masvidal being interviewed by Ariel and Chael and at 5.15 he references Conor as "McTapper", Ariel goes on to ask him would he fight Conor..

    No he didn't, at least not in relation to Conor, he said at the end, "..nothing is going on right now, and when there is I'll let you guys know"

    3 piece and a soda is a line Masvidal uses, McGregor was saying it for that reason

    As I see, have never heard Masvidal say it - just thought McG was Americanizing his tweet for his stateside fans :P

    He's just pathetic at this stage.. Talking **** on Twitter without any sign of a fight. Honestly cannot see him winning any decent match up. He'd beat Cowboy and that's about it.
