Conor don't want to turn up to the press conference because he can't say shit to Diaz. He will look like a fool when Diaz responds to everything he says with "i choked ur ass bitch" or "u attend my sunday kids jiu-jitsu class yet?" Conor can not stand been on the side of weakness for once and said 'fuck it i'm out'.
+knowledgeisthepower1 Agree with you 100% If conors not shit talking then he's lost....His shit talk was what used to win him against the midgets he fought before Nate.
+knowledgeisthepower1 He didn't want to go on the tour because they were going to STOCKTON THE PLACE he slagged off and that's why he has RETIRED. AHAHHAHHHHAAAAAAAAAA
Diaz beat his ass into retirement... Conor all about the big money fight and now he doesn't want to promote the fight?? He knows he has to get his ground together before Nate fucks him up again he basically pulling a Daniel Cormier
Cormier has a torn tendon u fucking idiot, u wanna fight Jones 50%? This is his last chance against the guy not gonna go in half as good as he could be
they should of just brought in a conor mcgregor look alike to shoot the commercials and for the press conference, just put a doll up there in conor's seat with a tape recorder up its ass that just says random conor mcgregor quotes.. so conor when did your flight get in? they dont move like i move
Funny thing is Conor pretty much does that already. Comes in to a presser with 2 answers he repeats and the second his opponent turns the tables he doesn't have a good response and looks stupid
+sagatbalrog conor should do a lot less lipping off, nobody wants to hear about him wearing red panties. He better go back to fighting smaller opponents, that he calls midgets and those are his words.
+SyntaxErrorXoXo +SyntaxErrorXoXo - I think Dana was being reasonable and I think Conor was too. It's just an unfortunate situation, dammit! Get it together for the fans!
+Brandon Carter Then you're as dumb as Dana. Conor is a fighter, not a show pony. Fighters train to fight, not tour to talk it up ... you have promo guys for that and if you need the fighters to talk to each other, we have shit like skype! The fighter doesn't need to fly from Iceland to the USA, answer a million questions he has answered before, fly for over an hour to stockton, then fly again to new york (the opposite side of the country) to answer the same questions and then fly back to Iceland So this top level athlete, that is making UFC bigger, making it richer, has to lose out on a week or more of training. Why does he have to do that when you can set up a video press conference? Mega corporations do that for meetings. Do what DC and Jon Jones do, talk shit over twitter. There are plenty of ways to hype a UFC card without taking a week off training. NOT to mention, Conor had this unshakable confidence, built all this hype up, Nate crashed it and this is Conor seeking vengeance at a land mark UFC number! It already has LOADS of hype, then you add on this spectacle leading up to it and it adds more hype. How could he possibly hype it more? The only way I can think of, is if he actually says "if I lose I will retire".
Brandon Carter Where ever you got that information from, it's wrong. If you think about it, Dana said in this interview that only one other person no showed to an interview and he was pulled from the fight ... it's you show up to the interview and fight OR you don't show up and you don't fight. NOTHING to do with bonuses for doing interviews. Just 'cos he can promote fights well doesn't make him a promoter, otherwise he would be called a promoter! Or are you the kind of dumb ass who thinks that just 'cos you have a brain you're a brain surgeon? You piss, so you're a urologist? Have a heart, so you're a cardiologist? Fuck sick? You just typing any old words at this point? typing tourettes?
theomega616 and yes he gets paid checks for doing interviews you f*** he says it all the time well I didn't want to go then they showed me the check and I said alright let's do it boss. So shut the fuck up you piece of shit
This is the first time in the UFC that Conor doesn't have the upper hand in the press conferences and that's where he gets most of his confidence from. After his humiliating loss against Diaz he can't say anything, because of that he's asked for a shit ton of money from Dana on purpose knowing that Dana would refuse and therefore Conor would back out of the fight. I've been a fan of McGregor from day 1 but he's pussied out of this fight in a massive way.
Dana White has a huge, out of control ego. Top fighters are leaving UFC for other organizations because of his arrogance and greed...the Reebok thing is a disaster. Fighters are losing lots of money in sponsors due to this Reebok deal, that seems to be good for the UFC brass but detrimental to the 600 plus fighter/employees. Plus the Reebok fight kits are absolutely grotesque. I hope Dana's greedy arrogant ass loses all his top fighters to Bellator and the UFC goes bankrupt. Would serve him right. Scumbag
+Iva Hardie Do you see Dana White in the Octagon? There is no UFC without the fighters. Conor has made the UFC rich, he has the power. Conor at this point can go anywhere he wants and will be successful. Don't underestimate the fighters in the UFC worth. UFC needs fighters to make money. Conor just doesn't take it up the ass like other fighters do like the ones that make $20,000 a fight.
+James Darmody sorry but the UFC was already rich... Had been for a long time. I'm all about these fighters making the money they are worth and it's a lot more than 20-20. I don't think any fighter you see on UFC on TV be it PVP or fox should make a penny less than 100k EVER but Conner has bought into his own hype coming off a loss where he looked BAD fighting a guy with NO camp like he always does shouldn't have any pull on who he fights next or when or where
Jimmy V it's a good thing you don't make the decisions for the UFC. Loss or not McGregor stepped up to the plate and put his money where is mouth was and fought Nate Diaz even though he had absolutely NO REASON to fight him. UFC needs more fighters like him. I bet that was a contributing factor as to why Bones accepted the fight against OSP. You saying he looked bad is also nothing but your opinion, he did not look bad at all, he clearly dominated the first round and obviously came out exhausted in the second after throwing nothing but bombs in the first, obviously trying to go for a knock out. He lost, plain and simple to an excellent fighter who he had no obligation to fight. That's what gave him the pull he has today, fighting anyone, anytime, anywhere. Rousey lost in dominating fashion and guess what? She has pull. She is guaranteed a title shot when she comes back. Her and Conor are similar in the sense they are willing to fight anybody and never pull out of fights.
+Sanju Singh (CONOR WILL KO DANA) McGregor's name pulls in the same amount of PPV buys as Mayweather did in his prime.. 1.5M @$60 ... Mayweathers cut was 15 to 18 mil with a cut of the PPV which came out to around 30m per fight. McGregors fighting for peanuts and the bulk of his marketing draw is going into the UFC's coffers. Nike sponsorship alone would pay McGregor 20 million a year for his exclusive rights to market their clothing and footwear.. Watch companies like Rolex or Casio would pay him.. Car companies like Tesla, the guy is a literal human money printing machine and he's losing tens of millions of dollars a year sub contracting his services to a shitbag like Dana White, Reebok, and the UFC.. McGregor and Diaz are both big enough names to sell their own superfight and pay a promoter 10 percent and walk away with 50% of the PPV buys to share between themselves.. You will see successful fighers abandon the UFC and move to the Pro Boxing model of marketing their own fight cards.
whats that? doing a stupid conf for a fight all the way in fuckin July. thats stupid adn fuckin bullshit and fuck conor hes a bitch its the diaz show. bet u dana makes diaz a co. main event and not the lone main event on thy card. fiaz last fight eill br at ufc 209
Conor McGregor is a punk the Diaz brothers are the real deal any real UFC fan knows that they've been in the game for a long time not about the money about just getting there fighting that's real shit
+Hipster123ftw2 I was just thinking I think of any fight now worth watching and disappointed as fuck but I would pay big time for that. Good on ya buddy.
Conor basically going down and down and down and......dowwwn....this is the impact of his past big mouth, trash talker...his confidence crumbling down faster than anybody
+JONATHON SEAGULL if it was about money conor would e promoting the shit out of this fight. pretty sure he gets a cut of ppv dollars and the more he promotes the more ppv buyers there are.
This is probably the first time I've seen Dana White and didn't immediately think about how nice it would be to watch him get choked the fuck out. Props to Cowherd out here asking the big questions too
+DirtySouthGaming Dana's running a company. One of his contractors thinks he is bigger than the organization that signs his paychecks. The UFC is just reminding little conor mcGregor what his place is. So what?
This is totally ridiculous on the ufc's part. lets keep it real, Conor just watched his teammate kill another fighter live in person and ooh btw this is also what he does for a living as well!!! Ya think hes a little emotionally bothered by the whole ordeal??possibly?? come on! it was bad timing but make no mistake about it Conor is a great person for sticking to his guns and not acting like a fake maniac for las vegas week and actually mourning this kids loss in the octagon. Shame on the ufc for not understanding that. Also anyone being 100% honest knows Conor is a hype machine and will deliver moviing forward with media obligations but this clearly should have been an exception. R.I.P. Joao Carvalho.
+glennhagstedt He's also uncomfortable with doing an entire press tour with Diaz knowing Diaz has the psychological edge. He's dreading the media questions, fan responses and Nate continuously reminding him that he got choked out like a bitch the first time round. How can Conor trash talk Nate?
+dan theman exactly, i can´t see how Conor could win a second fight, unless he choose to take a different approach and be humble instead and try to make Diaz soft and surprise him. Conor could be a spectacular fighter if he wasn´t such a bullie, it was just a matter of time until he said the wrong thing to the wrong person who makes it personal and actually wants to kill him.
Conor IS the promotion of his own fight, as long as you have him on the UFC200 poster, every dollar of the 10mil they spent for the entire card will be recovered. Conor pulls in 100mil per fight, the UFC should have flown a fukn film crew to Conor's gym to get what they need, this is bad biz on there part.
it has to do with the Death of the fighter who pass away in Dublin last week,he's the face of the sport in his country and is having to deal with the bad press it's created there.They're looking at him for answers and how would he look if 2wks after somebody getting killed he's here acting like nothing happen..This is beyond his control,he's in a bad position and the UFC needs to realize what's going on and take a step back...
GhettoHits ur a moron! A man dies in your profession in your town and your the biggest face in the sport not just there,but world wide..Your not going to be affected by that?if anything I respect Connor even more for this..He needs to once again show these clowns how a real champ moves..
Dana pulled Nick Diaz from UFC 137 for the same shit... but I guess it's a good thing most people don't know or remember that Nick Diaz ultimately fought BJ Penn in the main event. LOL
This is Conner's way out of a fight he knows he's going to lose. He doesn't have the tools or the right style to beat Nate, especially not on a full camp. A second loss would expose Conner and crash his stock. Conner will be back to fight again, he knows it will be just as a big pay check for him to come out of retirement.
GunsGifts Galleries Mcgregor isn't bigger than Lesnar, Lesnar still holds the record for the most ppv buys in a time where the UFC wasn't nearly as big as it is now.
Absolutely. He better stay retired, I think Dana ought to make him the poster child of consequence. If your afraid of getting your ass beat again, stay retired.. your only going to age more. If your genuinely retiring for your long term health, just admit it and be gone. Conner just lost all credibility and should loose the belt for this stunt
People don't understand. Conor did a press Tour with Aldo for 189, Aldo pulled out. He did another one with the replacement, Mendes. he did another press tour with Aldo for 194. He did another one with RDA for 197 (while 197 was 196), RDA pulled. Then, he did another one with Diaz for 196. Five Press tours in three fights, in less than 11 months. THEN, you call the man for another one a month after his last fight, and three months away from the next one. GIVE THE MAN A FUCKING BREAK!
Does anyone else think that Conor has reviewed Nate's fights and recognizes that there's no way to beat him... hence, pulling out of this fight, "retiring"???? Thank you!!
Probably the same thing happened when he watched Frankie's fights, he knows Frankie would demolish him. Conor's persona is predicated around being able to shit talk his opponents, Conor got submitted by a guy who came in on next to no notice. Conor literally would get owned at the press conference as Nate would verbally bury him 6 ft under
Dana.. this is the reason: Conor feels he might lose again, simple as that! He doesn't want Nate getting into his head, again. That's why he is in fookin' Iceland!
I told ya Dana would win. He always does. Hes the boss and that's that. When it comes down to to it Connor is still just a number working for the man just like everyone else.
I don't think we have any good reporters in all of media today. The obvious question to ask Dana is "Why did Conor pull out from promoting the fight?" I don't think he has a injury, or even a bruised rib. Why did he pull out of the promotion? We get the straightest answers from Dana White, but it seems this most interesting question was avoided, and you can see the same thing in all media---if you "think" about it.
Dana White will get a lot of respects from UFC fans around the world from his action. McGregor always get what he wants in the past, but there is a line that you must not cross. There will always be a better, greater fighter come a long. No one fighter is bigger than the sport, that is why UFC will always be popular.
Dana decides to pull Mcgregor of the card without even speaking to him? Their biggest draw gets kicked over a promo that has to be done 3months before ufc200?? And Dana act´s like everything is just fine ?? Does anyone remember Dana´s reaction when GSP retired who also was their biggest draw at the time? No everything is not just fine without him. This doesn´t make any sense
Thats because GSP was retiring/leaving for real. Here its obvious that Dana thinks Conor isn't retiring. Dana says he thinks McGregor will be fighting for him within the next year.
+Travis Mohan He's flying from Iceland. Nick Diaz had to drive three hours, but would you have told him to stop acting like a diva as well? Probably not...
+David Powers Dude he wasn't even gonna fly he refused to show up. I would tell conor or any ufc fighter a diva if they are to their faces, they ain't gonna do shit cause they'll lose their jobs if they touch me
***** Right. He wasn't gonna fly because he's 20 hours away. And I didn't mean to imply "if you had the balls to say it to their face" which I'd bet you don't, I'm saying you're busting McGregor's balls more so because its' the trendy cool thing to do right now. It's fun to hate
David Powers He signed the contract or agreed to the terms of the fight and that includes promotion. I dont care if youre planets away you make your way to wherever youre schedule to be as part of promotion and no one is an exception to that rule. Its easy for fanboys to have this victimhood of ''everybody hates my favourite fighter, whatever they say is invalid''. I'll say it to any current UFC fighter right fucking now and ill make sure its in public space and theres someone with a camera. Theyre not animals who are hungry to fight anything, they'll just brush it off and move on like it aint no big deal. Why would they risk their license and pay cheque cause some random had something smart to say?
Fair enough. So you fine him for not showing up. You don't pull him from the card. Everyone suffers, from the fighters, the UFC and the fans. It's an egotistical power-play move to pull him, just like it was to pull Diaz when he missed the presser.
Lets face it, Conor is that big now he doesn't need to turn up to promote any fight he's in! Just to have his name attached to a fight, millions of people will tune in to watch it! He is the BIGGEST name in the fight game today!
Rockhold & Weidman should protest the UFC too. If they both pulled out in support of Conor's reasonable demands, Lorenzo would have to fire Dana to save the brand, I think.
+Stephen Doty Why would they lose out on their paychecks for Conor? Conor's demands aren't reasonable. He has to meet his contractual obligations like all the hundreds of other fighters. If not, hit the road. The UFC does not need McGregor to proliferate their brand.
dana better stop getting confused between nate and nick or he's getting slapped at the press conferrence
Rofl imagine nick or nate walking up to dana and slapping him real hard
Where did he mix them up? I missed it
+Ghandi Abdulrahman 0:48-0:51
+Aman Mishra PLENTY OF PEOPLE ISNT CONOR .IM NOT EVEN THE BIGGEST CONOR FAN BUT IF CONOR ISNT ON THIS CARD ITS GONNA SUCK AND PEOPLE WONT BUY IT .
+Blake Garvey what are you replying to lol. This comment thread is talking about Dana saying Nate instead of nick
Without Conor UFC 200 is *_DOOMED!_*
***** Truth hurts...lol
***** Wut?
***** ????
UFC 200 is another bum card without Conor!Something smells fishy..Let's see what King Conor has to say about this!
Pirvu Dan May the King have some mercy on Dana's soul.
Conor don't want to turn up to the press conference because he can't say shit to Diaz. He will look like a fool when Diaz responds to everything he says with "i choked ur ass bitch" or "u attend my sunday kids jiu-jitsu class yet?" Conor can not stand been on the side of weakness for once and said 'fuck it i'm out'.
True man
+knowledgeisthepower1 haha.....yes
+up704646 That's to give conor more time to find his balls.
+knowledgeisthepower1 Agree with you 100% If conors not shit talking then he's lost....His shit talk was what used to win him against the midgets he fought before Nate.
+knowledgeisthepower1 He didn't want to go on the tour because they were going to STOCKTON THE PLACE he slagged off and that's why he has RETIRED. AHAHHAHHHHAAAAAAAAAA
The interviewer has a great face ... for radio.
+TheJapanChannelDcom hahahaha
*****
Change your name to "silly kid making obvious and unfunny comments"
So ur sayin its obvious ur mum has a pointy face?
Diaz beat his ass into retirement... Conor all about the big money fight and now he doesn't want to promote the fight?? He knows he has to get his ground together before Nate fucks him up again he basically pulling a Daniel Cormier
+Trey Bens lol
Idiot
+Colin Ksobiech No idiots are people who comment with one word instead of making valid points. You know....kinda like yourself.
+Trey Bens I thought pulling a dc was offering to suck your opponent off on live television LOL
Cormier has a torn tendon u fucking idiot, u wanna fight Jones 50%? This is his last chance against the guy not gonna go in half as good as he could be
The fight is more than 2 months away, UFC 200 barely need promoting anyway... Dana is just exploiting Conors Stardom.
+MrrMuyaagi As he should, who else is there left from a Marketable standpoint for him to exploit
it dont matter: every fighter needs to promote their fights. simple. Connor is behaving like a diva
+Thomas Miller Dana is the only diva here, fucking bald fuck.
He's a diva dealing with 600 other divas
they should of just brought in a conor mcgregor look alike to shoot the commercials and for the press conference, just put a doll up there in conor's seat with a tape recorder up its ass that just says random conor mcgregor quotes..
so conor when did your flight get in?
they dont move like i move
+sagatbalrog Conor could cost ufc couple of 100 millions too
+sagatbalrog I got legit lolz from reading your comment, thanks xDDD
Funny thing is Conor pretty much does that already. Comes in to a presser with 2 answers he repeats and the second his opponent turns the tables he doesn't have a good response and looks stupid
ROFL!
+sagatbalrog conor should do a lot less lipping off, nobody wants to hear about him wearing red panties. He better go back to fighting smaller opponents, that he calls midgets and those are his words.
I think Dana is perfectly reasonable here, don't understand why everyone gives him shit
+SyntaxErrorXoXo +SyntaxErrorXoXo - I think Dana was being reasonable and I think Conor
was too. It's just an unfortunate situation, dammit! Get it together for
the fans!
You mean you pulled "NICK Diaz" from the GSP fight!
I gotta be honest this is probably the most I've ever agreed with Dana before
+Brandon Carter Then you're as dumb as Dana. Conor is a fighter, not a show pony.

FOR ONCE DANA IS IN THE RIGHT. THIS IS ON CONOR.
Dana White has a huge, out of control ego. Top fighters are leaving UFC for other organizations because of his arrogance and greed...the Reebok thing is a disaster.

+Jeffrey Eickhoff Yeah he seems like a dick...but he literally saved UFC and made it a success. He kinda has a right to be a dick.
Gives the other fighters an open opportunity I will still watch this event :)
thanks for the interview colin is good, directly clear and short well done.
I agree. All to the point, deliberate and concise. I thought Dana came off sincere and as a president of a professional league ought to be.
I think this is the first time I heard an interview with Dana white where the questions were not dumb and were informative
Are you fucking joking me ....this guy knows nothing about the ufc !!!!!!!😡😡
Dana is like: "Connor, i'm not mad, call me"
Ultimately it's Dana who will surrender to the king.

yeah there is plenty of people wanting to fight in 200 , to bad all the 600 together wont get you as many paperviews as conor.
Colin is probably the best reporter I have ever heard! Amazing talent. Straight forward questions and great command. Take notes!
Conor going to Stockton? 😂😄 Don't be scared homie!
He said he would ride through Stockton and take all the snitches out now he's running scared.
Mahogany Blue never laughed so hard. 😂🙏
he just doesnt want to do the pressers because he has nothing to say anymore since he got his ass beat
Good interview, great questions and some good points brought up.
Dana made a good point here.
whats that? doing a stupid conf for a fight all the way in fuckin July. thats stupid adn fuckin bullshit and fuck conor hes a bitch its the diaz show. bet u dana makes diaz a co. main event and not the lone main event on thy card. fiaz last fight eill br at ufc 209

+dan theman exactly, i can´t see how Conor could win a second fight, unless he choose to take a different approach and be humble instead and try to make Diaz soft and surprise him. Conor could be a spectacular fighter if he wasn´t such a bullie, it was just a matter of time until he said the wrong thing to the wrong person who makes it personal and actually wants to kill him.
+Steve Spooner UFC does understand respects and is giving cover for Connor so he wont lose face--
Conor IS the promotion of his own fight, as long as you have him on the UFC200 poster, every dollar of the 10mil they spent for the entire card will be recovered. Conor pulls in 100mil per fight, the UFC should have flown a fukn film crew to Conor's gym to get what they need, this is bad biz on there part.
He said Nate, but it was NICK that did not show. lol
How about McNugget v Rousey? Seems like a good match.
you mean you pulled Nick Diaz not Nate from the GSP fight?
great interview, thanks
I like this interviewer. He gives only good questions.
you are a great interview Colin
DIAZ CHOCKED HIM INTO RETIREMENT!
+Ryan Carlisle Who?
***** Oh! thnx bruh.
***** Aldo is a pussy,Frankie is a bum prelim fox card headliner.
***** Everyone In the UFC is a bum
Colin Cowherd always goes hard. Much love, Pimp.
if this is a publicity stunt more power to the UFC and Conor McGregor for coming up with a great way to promote UFC 200
Who gives a fuck about Conor. Diaz all the way
+Matt Bogdalamatt Diaz isn't a draw. No one is buying ppvs to watch him fight.
+Sean Green you would be surprised the amount of people like watching the Diaz brothers fight
Matt Bogdalamatt
www.bjpenn.com/mmanews/white-says-nate-diaz-not-a-draw-like-his-brother-wont-get-gilbert-melendez-type-money/
You were saying?
+Sean Green you must be Irish or some shit
Matt Bogdalamatt lol Ad hominem. The facts are the facts and Nate Diaz is not a draw.
it has to do with the Death of the fighter who pass away in Dublin last week,he's the face of the sport in his country and is having to deal with the bad press it's created there.They're looking at him for answers and how would he look if 2wks after somebody getting killed he's here acting like nothing happen..This is beyond his control,he's in a bad position and the UFC needs to realize what's going on and take a step back...
+Nel Hear hear!!
+Nel BS another man's death has nothing to do with the champ.
GhettoHits ur a moron! A man dies in your profession in your town and your the biggest face in the sport not just there,but world wide..Your not going to be affected by that?if anything I respect Connor even more for this..He needs to once again show these clowns how a real champ moves..
GhettoHits Depends whether the champ has respect for his fellow countryman or not.
well im from dublin ireland i dont see why conor should quit cause someone died in the same sport its like saying everyone should stop fighting lol
Dana pulled Nick Diaz from UFC 137 for the same shit... but I guess it's a good thing most people don't know or remember that Nick Diaz ultimately fought BJ Penn in the main event. LOL
McGregor wanted no part of promoting in Stockton.
Dana looks like he was bawling before they went on air.
This is Conner's way out of a fight he knows he's going to lose. He doesn't have the tools or the right style to beat Nate, especially not on a full camp. A second loss would expose Conner and crash his stock. Conner will be back to fight again, he knows it will be just as a big pay check for him to come out of retirement.
+james D - In my defence, he couldn't beat either one of them, so it's still accurate.
When is the press conference in Stockton?? Anyone know the date
Its not the same card with The legend! Hes the biggest thing that ever happened to this sport
+sam charles lol you must be a new mma fan if you think Mcgregor is the biggest thing to happen to this sport.
+zrizzle I've been watching mma for 10 years. it's clear conor is the biggest draw the ufc has ever had. yes ,even more than gsp and lesnar.
GunsGifts Galleries Mcgregor isn't bigger than Lesnar, Lesnar still holds the record for the most ppv buys in a time where the UFC wasn't nearly as big as it is now.
zrizzle yes, mcgregor is bigger than lesnar ever was.
GunsGifts Galleries No he isn't are you dumb? Just look at the numbers dummie.
It's cuz it's in Stockton ca that's why he don't want to go
Colin only talks about MMA when Ronda or Conor are fighting.
Those are the ONLY 2 fighters he knows....
Good! I'm glad he's putting his foot down and not letting fighters dictate what happens
Absolutely. He better stay retired, I think Dana ought to make him the poster child of consequence. If your afraid of getting your ass beat again, stay retired.. your only going to age more. If your genuinely retiring for your long term health, just admit it and be gone. Conner just lost all credibility and should loose the belt for this stunt
Conor knows Nate's going to stop his shit talking career in its tracks.
He already did! Hahaha
People don't understand. Conor did a press Tour with Aldo for 189, Aldo pulled out. He did another one with the replacement, Mendes.
he did another press tour with Aldo for 194. He did another one with RDA for 197 (while 197 was 196), RDA pulled. Then, he did another one with Diaz for 196.
Five Press tours in three fights, in less than 11 months.
THEN, you call the man for another one a month after his last fight, and three months away from the next one.
GIVE THE MAN A FUCKING BREAK!
"makes up stuff for clicks"hit the nail right there lol
Dana White is a class act.
Does anyone else think that Conor has reviewed Nate's fights and recognizes that there's no way to beat him... hence, pulling out of this fight, "retiring"???? Thank you!!
Probably the same thing happened when he watched Frankie's fights, he knows Frankie would demolish him. Conor's persona is predicated around being able to shit talk his opponents, Conor got submitted by a guy who came in on next to no notice. Conor literally would get owned at the press conference as Nate would verbally bury him 6 ft under
Agreed!!!!
i actually agree with Dana for once !!!
Dana.. this is the reason: Conor feels he might lose again, simple as that! He doesn't want Nate getting into his head, again. That's why he is in fookin' Iceland!
like this fight would need ANY promotion... wtf dana
Conor freaked out because of Nate Diaz. He's running away like a scared gaselle.
How about you promote the PPVs that are scheduled before UFC 200 and let your fighters train.
I want the McGregor fight! I WANT THE FCKN MCGREGOR FIGHT!!!
.go thrue me first….
at around 2:40 its funny how dana says tyson used to promote his fights on Come cast and Cox cable loll :P
I respect Dana as a business owner, it is what it is, there are many mouths to feed.
He forgets to mention that Connor said he would come to NYC to promote the fight.
Conor is just scared of Diaz's trash talking game, now that he has been beaten. The trash talking game is usually how Conor wins.
I told ya Dana would win. He always does. Hes the boss and that's that. When it comes down to to it Connor is still just a number working for the man just like everyone else.
I don't think we have any good reporters in all of media today.
The obvious question to ask Dana is "Why did Conor pull out from promoting the fight?"
I don't think he has a injury, or even a bruised rib. Why did he pull out of the promotion?
We get the straightest answers from Dana White, but it seems this most interesting question was avoided, and you can see the same thing in all media---if you "think" about it.
hes right tho, Conor shouldnt get special treatment ........ Cause hes had enough already!!!!!
As simple as that. \m/
Dana White will get a lot of respects from UFC fans around the world from his action. McGregor always get what he wants in the past, but there is a line that you must not cross. There will always be a better, greater fighter come a long. No one fighter is bigger than the sport, that is why UFC will always be popular.
Conor found his way out he knows what another loss to Diaz will do to his career
Dana decides to pull Mcgregor of the card without even speaking to him?
Their biggest draw gets kicked over a promo that has to be done 3months before ufc200?? And Dana act´s like everything is just fine ??
Does anyone remember Dana´s reaction when GSP retired who also was their biggest draw at the time? No everything is not just fine without him.
This doesn´t make any sense
Thats because GSP was retiring/leaving for real. Here its obvious that Dana thinks Conor isn't retiring. Dana says he thinks McGregor will be fighting for him within the next year.
Conor McGregor needs to stop acting like a diva and step up to fight
+Travis Mohan He's flying from Iceland. Nick Diaz had to drive three hours, but would you have told him to stop acting like a diva as well? Probably not...
+David Powers Dude he wasn't even gonna fly he refused to show up. I would tell conor or any ufc fighter a diva if they are to their faces, they ain't gonna do shit cause they'll lose their jobs if they touch me
***** Right. He wasn't gonna fly because he's 20 hours away. And I didn't mean to imply "if you had the balls to say it to their face" which I'd bet you don't, I'm saying you're busting McGregor's balls more so because its' the trendy cool thing to do right now.
It's fun to hate
David Powers He signed the contract or agreed to the terms of the fight and that includes promotion. I dont care if youre planets away you make your way to wherever youre schedule to be as part of promotion and no one is an exception to that rule.
Its easy for fanboys to have this victimhood of ''everybody hates my favourite fighter, whatever they say is invalid''.
I'll say it to any current UFC fighter right fucking now and ill make sure its in public space and theres someone with a camera. Theyre not animals who are hungry to fight anything, they'll just brush it off and move on like it aint no big deal. Why would they risk their license and pay cheque cause some random had something smart to say?
Fair enough. So you fine him for not showing up. You don't pull him from the card. Everyone suffers, from the fighters, the UFC and the fans. It's an egotistical power-play move to pull him, just like it was to pull Diaz when he missed the presser.
danas the best commissioner in all of sports
He's in Iceland. Probably does not want to leave that fresh air and amazing scenery. Give him some time.
+sonof hendrix Fuck conor McGregor. He needs to get his little midget ass back to work or stop expecting a paycheck.
Dropping Mcgregor instead of paying him the big bucks is a conservative business choice considering the alternative.
Nice platform for UFC/Dana White talking points there Colin- what about the other side of the story?
Lets face it, Conor is that big now he doesn't need to turn up to promote any fight he's in! Just to have his name attached to a fight, millions of people will tune in to watch it! He is the BIGGEST name in the fight game today!
Rockhold & Weidman should protest the UFC too. If they both pulled out in support of Conor's reasonable demands, Lorenzo would have to fire Dana to save the brand, I think.
+Stephen Doty Why would they lose out on their paychecks for Conor? Conor's demands aren't reasonable. He has to meet his contractual obligations like all the hundreds of other fighters. If not, hit the road. The UFC does not need McGregor to proliferate their brand.
I do what I want Dana, UFC 200 is my event
Fuck ufc 200 sure you got head of security in crumlin shopping centre your laughn
"I swear to god I'm not mad"
- Usually means... you mad.
This isn't weird dana, conor is used to talking shit before fights and getting in people's minds. He can't say shit to diaz. Uncharted territory.
UFC is really hurting itself with this Theatre B.S. ..... Conor got Scared and pulled out , Plain and Simple .
tonecaufield1 Real Funny FanBoy .
I didn't really hear anything else after Cowherd, a highly paid professional journalist, said clearly, "...odviously..." In his opening comment.
Believe me, McGregor will still fight Diaz at the UFC 200.
Solve it with Mcgregor u bum he's a legend in the sport
Far to early to call him a legend.
+Kyle Gardner GOAT
+Kyle Gardner Beating the #1 p4p fighter who had been champion for 10 years in 13 seconds is pretty legendary.
+sam charles
Yeah he's fking up right now we'll remember this.
zrizzle I agree but it doesn't make him a legend. Buster Douglas isn't a legend and he KO'd Tyson.
Dana is a solid boss
That says it all , conors ass didn't want to go to Stockton!! Lmfao!
how does dana confuse the diaz brothers lmao
