Whoa whoa whoa ... they wanted him to promote in Stockton? Yeah, I would have quit too!!!

Seriously though, he got beat and Diaz shut him up. I can kind of understand wanting to focus on the fighting. But like football players and the media, it's part of what you are paid for.

Oh so all of a sudden McGregor can't be bothered to make appearances now.I hope Dana White gives in to his demand so Diaz can send him into retirement for real.

Prince.......

RIP to one of the most under rated basketball players ever........

Saw this after I posted that-www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2016/04/21/death-reported-at-prince-s-home.html?via=twitter_page
Now milt papas too today. Anyone else got more people to add to the list?

This year is already going bad. Combine all these legends that keep dropping like flies and I wonder what'll be left after December.

Diaz can't send him to retirement if he's retired...

......let's just hope then that he is trash tweeting.

Conor's scared.... Lol

 

[MaddMaxx]

Nah, he's not scared... he's seriously focused. Aaaaand he's the only mass-appeal superstar the UFC has right now, so he's leveraging that to his benefit.

Dana isn't stupid enough to throw away this rematch and neither is Conor, in the end they'll work something out. And in the meantime, the whole world will hold their breath and jump on every scrap of information/tweet/leak/speculation and continue to prove Conor's popularity/infamy

 

[slippery slimecoat]

The fact he thinks he should get special treatment is ridiculous no matter what way you slice it. Every other fighter is expected to take part in promotional activities and press conferences. He should be no different. All fighters should be on a level playing field. And it's a bit ironic he chooses to get out of press conferences and promotional responsibilities when he's facing someone he doesn't have the trash talking upper hand against after already been beaten by him.

 

[MaddMaxx]

Maybe... but like him or hate him, you and the rest of the world are still talking about him. And we all either want to see him get his butt whooped or comeback and finish dinky Diaz...

 

[slippery slimecoat]

I don't like him or hate him. Not that invested lol. But I will say it's entertaining. But personally I believe the UFC will do more harm than good to the organization in the long run if they cave to Conor.
