Is that fair? Do you not think Conor has a gripe after doing yet another 1 million sales ppv? Do you not think he deserves a shot at the interim belt?

Mellor wrote: » Tony was only ahead of him because he jumped him. By the above logic, Conor is owed his fight with both. If you apply that logic for one, it should be for all. As you said, it’s a draw at best. Even with the most bias scoring. But 3rd was nowhere near a 10-8 by the actual definition. If 3rd was a 10-8, so was the 2nd with 2 knockdowns.

AlmightyCushion wrote: » When you lose a belt, they don't take it from you. You still keep your belts. All former champs still have their belts (unless they got rid of them). When you get stripped of a belt you still keep the belt, you just aren't the champion any more. McGregor still has both his belts despite him being stripped of them.

Alvarez was the same, I don't think that fight was a fluke win I think Alvarez bought into the McGregor hype train and was not mentally prepared for the fight. On skill I believe Alvarez to be the better fighter. His win to take the 145lb belt was a fluke. He was then gifted a shot at 155lbs and fought a man who mentally crumbled under the McGregor train. A perfect storm. He's a con artist of the highest order. Khabib showed him to be exactly what he is, a charlatan scumbag. Let him fight Poirier or Ferguson and see how well he does. He is no where near top 5, barley makes top 10 in my view.

eagle eye wrote: » Let's make this clear. Dana said Conor would be a replacement if either Tony or Khabib didn't make it. Conor said no that he's not a replacement fighter. When Khabib pulled out Conor was not offered the fight.
