Lol Rory is a funny guy. Helwani wasn't enough of a shill for the UFC. People are acting like that says great things about Helwani. It doesn't. All it says is that the UFC wants you to completely follow what they say all the time.

I don't really get all these people upset that Helwani lost his job. What do you expect when you try to play both sides? You can't be an independent journalist and work in the media for the UFC at the same time. If Helwani had journalistic integrity he'd have chosen one or the other.

Now he can actually go back to being a journalist. Cool.

We all hate intrim titles the fighters hate them because they are worthless besides Connor who was the last to really love that intrim belt ?

News are coming from different media channels that McGregor will now never fight at 145lbs. What your views about this topic? Is he really decide this after loss to Diaz?

Link?

Yeah ive seen similar stuff, and stuff saying he "can't" cut back to 145.

But MMADigest posted an interview with his nutritionist the other day who said it should be easy for him to cut back to 145 and until I see otherwise, i'll believe that from the source closest to McGregor that has weighed in (pun intended) on the subject.

If Aldo wins the interim belt.....McGreger has to fight him. Otherwise that knock out to Aldo will be just regarded as a fluke.

I'm not against the idea of him leaving 145 (he looks anorexic as **** when he cuts all that weight) but he has to defend that belt at least once I think to give him some legitimacy.

It's only really opinions from other fighters isn't it? Holloway & Frankie have said it lately when pressed for their 2c.

how did anyone miss my Troll

 

[MMAPride Scott]

Connor will fight at 145 when he loses to nate, Dolce will say he can get him there safe and prob could

 

[BradWCE]

I don't think McGregor will be fighting at 145 again. Not fighting there again isn't going to hurt him financially. People will say he's scared of Edgar or whatever, but why would he give a s**t? He'll be making heaps of money and won't have a huge weight cut.

I wasn't sure whether or not to post it, as I'm not sure if it's legit or just Conor trolling, but here is his tweet.

I'll check some sources spewing Jeff is not really active nowc

 

[MMAPride Scott]

think it's just fun and games at zuffa negotiating table I think they want more cheese

 

[MMAPride Scott]

Maybe he got tipped off the man with the piss jars about to pay a visit

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

I wouldn't be surprised if it's true.

He's made his cash and ran..he doesn't want to get beat up any more.

I always thought he was an arsehole. Him doing this would just confirm that thought.

One good thing is that it will give the UFC a good dose of it's own medicine.

One other thing to mention is that he was at the fight in Ireland a week or two back where one of the fighters died in hospital after fighting. Conor doesn't need to risk getting hurt, he's already made plenty of cash.

Life goes on...

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

at 1 mil garrenteed per fight plus ppv points and sponsorships he is set to lose anywhere from 5-ish mil a fight.

I cannot see him leaving that on the table.

if he is retiring the recent death has to have a lot to do with it.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Nate's retiring now too

 

[Hawks1523]

Nate's retiring now too

Cm punk too! Lol

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

Cm punk too! Lol

that's an awesome tweet.

Either he is bluffing the UFC to get more money or the death of Carvalho shook him more than expected.

For the people saying he is leaving money on the table

WWE are desperate for star power if he wants to do something low risk and still get paid

 

[Hawks1523]

I fully expect it to be a ploy to get ufc to give more, but I figured a public retirement tweet is a bit extreme for negotiations. Usually you'd expect it to stay behind closed doors if that's the case.

That said he can easily go back and be like look how big a stir this made, are you really going to let they walk out of here over $x

 

[FlowersByIrene]

I really hope this whole tweet thing has been blown out of proportion
