Jamahal Hills sudden rant aimed at Alex P is no coincidence. Either by his own doing or at the direction of the powers that be. The timing is suspicious and I expect they’re low key building the rematch as a replacement main event for 303 as a contingency. Alex has showed his willingness to step in late notice and Jamahal is training for a fight, the storyline is already built. Put Jiri against Ulberg, card saved. That’s what I would do

[@bendlor]

Listen heres whats going on. Conors nursing a sprained abkle/shoulder/wrist or something, wearing a brace or is on crutches, and doesnt want chandler knowing and potentially exploiting the vulnerability in the fight. He's still anticipating being fit to fight come 29jul. Conor has always given nothing but the highest of praises to the ufc, notably recently just before fight was scheduled. Also, on a recent live stream be did, he seemed 100% genuine and exited when he said dana had an announcment to make that the fans will love, refering to the presser in ireland that was going to happen a week later. 0 chance this is some sort of sly move on his part to swindle his contract in some way, or bad blood with the ufc, or anything like that. Highly doubt its to troll or build hype too, as again, seemed 1000% genuine in that livestream refering to the upcoming presser announcment. Ufc removed some promos, blocked ticket sales, etc, as a precaution- On the off chance he doesnt get to be fit to fight come fight day. All this is imo And 0 chance its a vitor pullout move for promo imo. For reasons above, but also, everyone knows just how bad he's itching to fight. Hea defo not passing this opportunity up

[@thanevakarian9762]

I just think the fights off and Conor and Chandler aren’t allowed to say anything cause the ufc is trying to salvage the card.

[@grahamm4814]

Bro i aint readin ur life story

[@GilgaMesh-w1m]

Idk why no one's bringing up the fact he said he's exhausted with media.. He said this in the dp3 press. He stated he just wanted to train. He wasn't shit talking to much. He was literally just sitting there most of the time. Hardly talked. I like what you wrote also. But the overall point is he just wants to focus on the fight and training. He's never pulled out one time. Easy boys, he isn't khabib. They literally ran the promo for the fight on last night's card.

[@bendlor]

@@GilgaMesh-w1m true, but not sure to what extent that's really playing a part here tho, as one doesn't just cancel the biggest ever press conference in UFC history, held in a sold out venue, in their own home country, for the UFC's biggest ever fight/ gate in history. Something was defo up. Imo, 0% chance that of all people, Conor cancels what would've been the the ufc's biggest ever and most attended presser, in front of his people only cause he's tired of media

[@MP-cc5rv]

Conor's been held back since his second Dustin fight for some reason. He had to offer to do a charity event in order to get a fight. There's something we dont know about these contract negotiations, behind the scenes

[@turkeysandwich421]

I used to be a big Connor fan but he's kind of a joke these days I don't believe he actually ever intended to fight I think he's milking his Fame in the Limelight as much as he possibly can for as long as you can without actually stepping in and taking more damage

[@joefosh]

I totally agree with you..He DOES enjoy beating the shit out of low-level sparring partners in preparation of getting his shit kicked in on fight day though, I think it's that aspect he'll be missing the most if he left, the illusion of being a hard man.

[@KamalaKackles]

@@joefosh. You’re pretending he wasn’t one of the best when he was fighting. Talk all the shit about his life and persona you want, but don’t doubt his skills. Prime Conor destroys everyone except prime Khabib.

[@joefosh]

@@KamalaKackles yeah I'm not disputing that, but that was 7 years ago. Fame got to him, he wasn't outgrowing featherweight, he had a shitty cut and he didn't want to do it anymore. He's had one great fight since he moved up, and that was Alvarez, he got tapped by Diaz and in my opinion lost the rematch, one win over a now-retired cowboy out of the last four, and you think he's the best current fighter on the planet... Are ya fuckin high? 🤣🤣

[@KamalaKackles]

@@joefosh Nah, he’s not currently great. But his prime was. His 80% is better than most fighters outside the top 3. He beat Diaz when he had time to bulk up. He was looking good early against Dustin before his leg broke and that Dustin was one of the best 155 ever outside of KhabibIslam.

[@joefosh]

@@KamalaKackles I'd say Arman, Oliveira, gaethje and poirier would all handily ruin any potential run at a title, and Belal, Usman, Covington, Khamzat would ruin it at welterweight, regardless of whatever percentage he thinks he's at in 2024. Fatigue has always been an issue for him, and he added more muscle to make that issue worse, unfortunately he will end his career having never defended a title.

[@theWayoftheHero]

Chael declared yesterday with much confidence that Conor indeed canceled all of his upcoming media obligations. He now presents it as a hypothetical and wonders why other media aren't asking the question lol. Truly undefeated

[@scottjensen5645]

Didn’t Conor say he didn’t want to “trash talk” anymore?? Like 1-2 weeks ago he said that. Surprise surprise, turns out he meant it 😮😢

[@rakim126]

But wouldn't he tell the fans. Hey I'm locking in for the midget. No presser. But he didn't say that

[@joeyduncan5804]

No he never planned to fight. It was the easiest way to stay relevant and take the limelight from Chandler and Chandler fell for it hook and sinker. Dustin is wise to it and exactly why he says he won't fight Connor again. He knows that he broke that dog and he don't hunt no more. Only barks and stays on the porch.

[@ChrisKane-ml3em]

[@MP-cc5rv]

​@@ChrisKane-ml3emDestroyed*

[@MP-cc5rv]

"You shut your mouth, you fewl ye!" Conor isn't a "pull-out merchant." He's an "Irish fookin animal!"🇮🇪

[@KamalaKackles]

When he fights Chandler, come back on here and tell the world you’re a moron and never voice an opinion again.

[@DJPeezy]

If that was the case, I think he’d at least put on a huge show at the press conference lol

[@indivisible885]

I've been saying for the last two years, Conor won't fight again. My speculation is that he wanted part ownership of the company, which was never gonna happen but he got part of bkfc, and now that he's set up as a "boss", he doesn't need to fight Chandler. But he Did have to keep himself relevant and in the conversation, so he lead everyone to believe he was going to do the fight and whether he believed it or not, I don't think he intended to show up for the fight. I still say, Conor isn't going to fight again. He has no motivation to fight. He hasn't won a fight in seven years, and Chandler is a hard night for anyone. Why risk losing again, getting injured again, why? Go ahead, I'll wait...

[@GeeNoniGee]

Sure. Now that he's a "Boss", he'd get the attention, then pull out rather than *LOSE* and go into BKFC a p*##¥. It would spoil his movie-thug image. He's gotten used to *staged* violence, now he wants to be the Dana White of BKFC.

[@indivisible885]

@@GeeNoniGee the way I see it, he's accomplished everything he wanted. World champ. World famous. Business owner. Actor. And he's worth a couple hundred million dollars. Why would he want to live a fighters lifestyle? I don't think he's a pussy. I think he has no reason to cut weight, live clean, and train daily for a couple months, just to go into a cage with someone trying to damage him. Why?

[@trulyblessed29]

​@@indivisible885 Simple, because he loves to fight

[@indivisible885]

@@trulyblessed29 he loves it so much, he keeps postponing it? Do you postpone doing what you love, when you're in control of when you'd be doing it? I'm not hating on Conor! He's awesome! To listen to him talk, to watch him fight. I just don't think the risk/reward aspect of him fighting, makes sense. And I get it. There are things I love to do, but the risk doesn't outweigh the reward, so I don't do them. No shame in not doing something you love. Maybe the damage to the brain isn't worth it. Maybe the broken bones and the time it takes to recover, aren't worth it. And there's nothing wrong with that!

If he is supposed to fight, but we still need to ask the question, "will he fight?". I just assume it's a no. I understand, "all publicity is good publicity", but that's not true of the Internet. Ask a guy named Wes Watson. Cuz if Connor doesn't fight, he'll be in that boat with Wes

If Chael doesn't have something interesting to talk about it's the sports fault, not his.

[@AcidGlow]

[@bcbikeboard322]

Why is no one talking about the fact that Conor is currently negotiating with the UFC for his next contract and he's dicking them around by pulling out of this fight as mind games and leverage against the UFC. It has nothing to do with Chandler. Chandler is a pawn. When Dana said this is 'already the biggest gate' what that let Conor know is I'm still the most relevant fighter on your roseter, even when I'm inactive, and you're going to need to add 100m to my next contract to even get me to show up this year. You need me more than ever' Conor is a master as it relates to mind games with his opponents, and his current fight is against the UFC, not Chandler.

This is the craziest fight in the history of the organization trying to get one more Conor fight and of all the things to get a Conor fight and not have press conferences?! It's like you don't know what this is. I mean picking these two guys who are great talkers for TUF was done I guess what years ago now and then this? I don't what's going on. Is Conor super serious is Conor looking for any way out is he going to retire win or lose? I mean he got to pretend he was still a fighter though all the movie bit but, this ride has to end. He's upstaging Jon Jones going away in my opinion on the forever wait.
