dulux99 wrote: » Ticket prices won't be affected though. He's still a huge draw for the yanks. I don't remember there being a huge Irish following in the crowd at 229 and ticket prices were extortionate, and sold out far quicker than 189 or 194.

Cowboy also deserves a Payday, Conor See's this as an easy route to Jorge and then will focus on Khabib, although I'm not convinced he really wants the Khabib fight again. Also in no way convinced he beats Jorge, but he must believe in himself as all fighters should. Being a massive draw affords you certain sway within any business the UFC is no different. Conor gets his return fight with what he assumes will be a KO win over a future Hall of famer to propel him back into the spotlight. Simple business from his end. I am glad he has a fight soon, regardless of how he has acted outside the cage, he is still a terrific talent inside it and that's about all the attention he will get from me in the future.

Look, I want to see him winning, but honestly think even he'd be more competitive against Khabib at 155 than Jorge at 170. Unpopular opinion, I'd imagine. Jorge is more experienced, good grappler, bigger, superior kicker, boxing at least on par if not better etc.
