true. imagine conor vs lawler shit. or even woodlely. and rory and condit...

I think its the reason they haven't announced Alvarez next opponent, they were waiting to see how this fight went. Seeing as how Conor still has bad cardio even after 5 months of focusing on it, I think Aldo probably beats him if he fights safe and goes the leg kick + grappling route. I think the Alvarez fight has a very good chance of being pretty boring with Alvarez wrestle fucking him.

conor should win LW belt asap so we could get conor vs nate 3 asap. that's the idea..

If I were to guess the number for Conor is somewhere close to reality depending on actual PPV buys. Nate's is probably a lot lower. The entire article seems speculation, but interesting nonetheless.

Took PRs advice betting Perry to win in rnd 1, paid out massive!

Bet Nate v Conor over 1.5 and 2.5 rnds.

Won ML on Larkin, Perry and Artem but lost on story, texeira ad Nate.

I lost my bet on Magny but won on Rumble and Connor.

That salary difference is fucking abismal: 10 K vs 3 million. The reason is obvious, but the minimum payment should be 50 K.

Ways to retire as a UFC fighter right now :

1.Fight McGregor
2. Retire

From what ive read diaz didnt make that much less. Maybe 2 million.

Diaz 10.5 million from ppv shares

Connor 11.5 million from ppv shares.

Both 250k from reebok sponsorship

Both fotn bonus.

Connor got 100k more for his afterparty and 3 million vs 2 million base pay

Diaz didnt get ppv shares in the 1st fight so he did real well for himself here. Really in his financial best interest to have that fight go exactly as it did to get him his best shot at a 3rd fight.

Just to look things from perspective, Diaz made 16k for fighting RDA just 3 fights ago.

It is truly a red panty night when you get to fight Conor.

Nate also called out Dillon Danis during the post-fight press conference (which didn't get aired live), because Danis is an American who helped an Irishman prepare to fight an American and is thus a traitor.

It's basically Nate talking shit and probably setting up a nice payday in one of those popular BJJ events where he can get a lot of money and publicity for competing. It would actually be cool if it worked out this way, since he could heal up and then have a match with Danis in BJJ, and then take some time off and prepare for his 3rd fight with Conor after Conor fights whomever is next on his hit list.

Earlier this morning, Danis said he'd fight Nate in BJJ and MMA, whichever Nate preferred. Danis just turned 23-years-old today (he looks 30), and he said he'll transition into MMA after he wins some tournament(s) that he has always wanted to win.

Interesting thought Diaz' career is way better off losing to Conor in the second fight than it is beating him. I don't think I've ever seen a similar situation (mainly because usually fighting a superstar implies a belt on the line nor are trilogies common). It's pretty funny.

yeah. i don't get why diaz fans hate conor. conor basically got diaz made. and nate himself knows it. he even mentioned post fight that it will depend on conor what's next. "he's the business man" he said.

This is the guy who lost to Tim Means on short notice.

That will push the 3rd fight to one of the 2 absolutes, either really good or really bad. Depends on Diaz's view on fighting as a whole, cause its safe to say he and his family are financially secure now and will even be better after a 3rd fight, so there should be no pressure on that side. Will show if he does it to become the best fighter he can or to just reach that money milestone.
We already know Conor does it to leave a legacy so he s in it @ 100% of willpower and such.

Hope Diaz wont disappoint

I love that video. Really captures the tension and the size of the moment.

Isn't it Cutman's who tapes fighters hands usually? It was his head coach.
