  1. Take it with a grain of salt but I heard Conor is seeing the money being made with the first 20million gate & wants a bigger piece of the pie..

  2. 18-minute, 45sec look at Ariels face when he hears the answer to his question. There's no doubt he thinks or knows June 28th this fight is not happening.

  3. Amazes me Conor is still news. He’s the most washed up fighter, and the UFC is trying to milk every last dime. It reminds me of the PGA still showing pictures of Tiger Woods to advertise a major if he will be hobbling across the lawn trying to make the cut. Chandler easy win if Conor doesn’t cancel

  4. I think Ariel knows Conor’s injured and that the fights not happening at 303. He asked GC if he thinks the fights still happening, and after GC answers, Ariel goes straight to talking about how he’s fascinated to hear how the UFC would replace that fight on 303.

  5. I suspect Conor’s dad isn’t doing well after reading he was spotted in hospital from a heart attack.

  6. I feel so bad for chandler he is nothing but positive and putting out good energy he deserves this fight after the wait

  7. I'm hearing theyre working on Chandler vs Holloway for the BMF belt…. I think alex vs jiri could be a good headliner, with chandler vs Holloway as the coheadliner. And hill as the feature bout.. Basically 300 remixed lmao

  8. People are delusion if they think this was ever gonna happen. He's not motivated anymore.. but he can't let it go either. Let's not give it any attention anymore the next time! Maybe he gets the hint! And continues to ruin his life. He needs to let it go! It's over.. if you are not there 100% anymore.. you need to stop! He is wasting people's time.

  9. Honestly, the entire language here just tells everyone it’s an injury.

    ‘He has fought injured in the past’

    ‘This whole story will come out sometime in the future’

    ‘Replacement fights…’

    ‘Let’s see what happens’

    ‘Let’s see if he fights and performs’

    Guys, it’s a cancelled presser, and THESE are our quotes?

    Who wants to bet me that McGregor got injured?

  10. imo., u can only "use" the word "persponed", when u actually have a new date and plan.. then its persponed.. otherwise its just cancled.. this is all about lawyer speak, and how the fallout is handled technically juristicaly.. the UFC has very good lawyers, and is good at protecting itself as much as possible. from liabilties in wany ways

  11. This "confusion" about the word "postponed" is absolutely ludicrous. Mate, if the intention is to rebook the event, then it's postponed. This is incredibly simple. If it ends up being cancelled after all, then it'll be cancelled. Obviously.

    If the UFC said it's postponed, clearly the itention is to rebook it. So it's POSTPONED. If it gets cancelled down the line for whatever reason, then at that point it's… cancelled. This is not complicated.

    If you're saying "oooh maybe the UFC are lying and they know it's cancelled but just calling it postponed to get less backlash" then, congrats, you've discovered the fact that we can't always know the truth behind a situation. This is an issue with all words we use in every language, the word "postponed" is not unique here.

    Journalists, man.
