oh shit, forgot to come over- since tapatalk no longer works on my phone
Amazing weekend of fights. Congrats to all the winners.
To those who wanna be mad about who Dana fights to give rematches to and who he doesn't,
don't forget it IS a business. It aint ALL business, but business is in it.
Jose has skipped a lot of fights, and although they may have been good reasons, thats gonna come back to bite him now hat he needs a rematch.
Add that to the fact that he's ben champ for the whole time, and hasn't made himself available to the English speaking market- of course, Dana's gonna want someone in there who can make some money AND win. As long as Jose was winning, he had no problems. Now, we're here.
Also, in that weight class, theres other competition. This, combined with the quick KO, kind makes it easy to forget the 10 year run- the fans simply won't care. And by fans, I mean NEW fans- COnor fans. Fans who spend MONEY.
Ronda MAKES MONEY. He didn't protect her (and stfu to those who were saying it, then didn't have an argument when she lost- none of you predicted it)- he put her on the line. She lost, but she can get a rematch BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL PAY FOR IT.
Honestly, since Ronda says she will either win or quit, this is FAR from protecting her. It's throwing away your biggest star, because she's likely to lose.She MIGHT win, but now we know it's a HUGE risk. So, if she loses, he gets a huge night, but loses a star. If holly doesn't murder everyone she faces in the ring, she has nothing outside of the ring that will make people watch. They only know her as the girl who beat ROnda. Thats good for a few fights tops
And the funnier part is, Conor has that FLoyd Mayweather enterprenurial self promotion gene in him. He's already trying to call his own shots and him and Dana are going to be going at it over percentages every fight.Others have done it, but he has the promo skills to actually back it up Conors legit, the first guy who can go over to Bellator, Invicta, or anywhere and bring a ton of fans with him right now. Yeah, he's another great white hope, but best believe he's not just gonna roll over and be a company man when he sees it doesn't suit him.
Him saying he's gonna try to hold two belts is hilarious. And it might work- or he might enfd up like ROy Jones when he treis to drop to 145 again after fighting at 155. Or he may kill himself.
