more bitchified than Shang Tsung.

He is retiring from UFC to join WWE and form an IRA stable with Finn Balor and Sheamus.

Sets up an epic shoot fight between Connor McGregor and a returning CM Punk down the line.

If he is retiring maybe he could get a deal similar to Lesnar's deal. He could be a top heel.

McGregor takes the L.

[stalkerforlife]

Has to be a joke.

There's no way he let Diaz scare him into retirement.

He's the Rousey of MMA...a fraud.

Turns out Dana pulled Connor from 200 because he refused to show up for promotional events. Dana showing the Irishman who's boss, and Connor is just throwing a tantrum.

Or maybe Dana and/or Connor realized a rematch with Diaz is a bad idea, and this is their way to pull the fight. Probably set up card where McGregor headlines by himself.

^^^ That

And a money dispute

[gigantes]

Im thinking B or something very personal/emotional problem happened
Maybe that death in ireland a couple of weeks ago really got to him? Who knows
Some mma reporters are saying that it looks fairly legit at this point :o

yeah... i had forgotten about that possibility.

watching too much brain damage (and even worse) over time has got to mess with a person's head. even a badass fighter-type person.

[SCREWstonRockets]

a fighter refusing to fight because he wants more money? hmm what other combat sport does that sound like? either it stays the same and dana controls everything, or dana pays his fighters more and they have more control over their own career. you can't have both.

Read between the lines. He's retiring form the UFC. He's going to Bellator

[Nick Young]

no mas

[Patrick Chewing]

UFC has sucked these past couple of years anyway.



Between the injuries and the belts changing hands all the time, it's become a stale product. This incident just adds to the absurdity and lameness the UFC has become.
