Plus Faber adds to his 'failed title attempts' record. Nobody is gonna touch that for a long time.
OK I posted the UFC 199 OT, GO POST IN IT/SUB.
As always if y'all want something added to he just let me know.

Too much money on the line.
Though if I buy the PPV from the UFC I should be able to watch the replay as much as I want before they put it up for everyone.
yup
though because of that some may say that their booking phlisphy towards PPVs not Summerslam/Royal Rumble/Mania has shit the bed.
I'm really loving fight pass but I wish there was an easier way to just watch a playlist of fights.
I just watched Diaz vs Dos Anjos and man those are some fucking kicks.

No Rousey at MSG, is she ever going to fight again?
She'll fight once she stops getting film work.
Which frankly might be after Road House bombs. So much of her film and pop culture impact was based off of her being undefeated and her being unafraid to take fights.
For her to just say fuck it I'm out after getting her ass handed to her would impact her brand and frankly she isn't a good enough Actress to last in Hollywood on skill alone.
Try and find best of UFC 2010 (?). It's actually made really well with all the best parts of every fight and is in a nice little order from HW down to FW. You get to see the rise of all their stars pretty much in chronological order.
2011/12/13/14/15 changed the format and isn't anywhere near as good but it's still enjoyable as well.

Strip him of the belt

Yeah this is his sixth since losing the WEC title shot, but because it's Faber he'll get another shot probably within 2 years.

He's obsessed alright.
Obsessed with not defending his title.
Aldo went 14 months between defenses.
It's been 6 for Conor.
Talk about it then.
Conor isn't injured.
He's also established that he doesn't have to play by the same rules as everyone else because of his value to the company.
He also got clowned in under two rounds by someone fighting on two weeks notice. Draws shouldn't get special treatment to the point where they don't have to defend their title.
The most boring fighter to grind his way to the top.
The only man capable of making a fight with Faber a bore.

But the established value though.
Edgar's 2nd and 3rd fights with Maynard are 10x more exciting than anything Conor has done.
This isn't wrasslin, it's a sport. He's going to fight Edgar sooner or later.
It's closer to sports entertainment than a sport than you would probably believe.
And I very much disagree with you. You can cherry pick two fights, but his career is built on boring, grinded out decisions.
Lordy. Promotion is important, but it's a sport through and through. Lesnar was arguably the biggest draw they ever had, didn't stop Cain and Overeem from destroying him.
You can call X fighter boring because they don't go out there and wildy swing like Wanderlei, but it's of your own volition if you don't respect those athlete's pulling out a dominating performance because it's 'boring'.
I find wrestling boring, that's my opinion.
And it's not a sport through and through, if it was, Miesha Tate would have got the title shot over Holly Holm.
Frankie Edgar would have got the title shot against Aldo instead of Conor if it was purely a sport.
UFC is about putting asses in seats pretty much before anything else. The popular people are going to get the biggest push to their careers. It's the reason Nick Diaz got a title shot against GSP coming off a loss.
You're talking about the opportunity that comes with popularity and marketability. That's absolutely a thing, but it's an entirely different thing from insinuating it's closer to sports entertainment than a sport, and it's selling ya boy Conor short. Conor talks an amazing game, but he's also a destroyer that ran through everyone in the UFC up till Diaz. His mouth sold the tickets, his ability as a martial artist gave the words meaning, he could back it up. This has existed in boxing for many, many years before the UFC was a thing.
If all that's important is popularity, then CM Punk will be fighting Conor by the end of the year. But they can't do that, because ya know, CM Punk sucks and isn't a fighter. I'm sure he could talk it up better than anymore else tho~
Those fights are ancient history and all of Conor's fights have been exciting, that's not a knock you can put against him

Conor can chase all the money fights he wants. But if you are not willing to defend your fucking belt, vacate it so people can fight for it
Both Frankie and Also know there is more money in fighting Coner as champ than having a non drawing belt.
I'm sure Coner will defend At MSG or Ireland before the end of the year.

Conor/Diaz 2 is an exciting matchup at 170???
Diaz/Lawler would be more intriguing than that shit.
Not really, but I'm a Diaz fan and I'm a Conor fan, so I'm excited to see them fight anyone.
I'm not really into rematches too much, yeah, I'd rather see Diaz and Lawler. I'd like to see either Diaz fight him really. ( I know Nick beat him already, but that was ancient history).

Edgar is an exciting point fighter. I love his fights due to his movements.
