Dana just posted the poster...I can't link it but they obviously forgot pc's have a built in spell check function.

at least they tweeted out a new version with "surpised" fixed


They must have hired the Reebok fight kit person who brought us Giblert to do the text on the poster.

@FaceStomper nailed it on the head - thus far, 198 is the real 200

Wow, I guess McGregor has been pulling the strings behind the scenes more than what I thought.  According to MMA Junkie; Dana, Lorenzo, and Kavanagh were trying to talk Conor out of this rematch with Nate Diaz at Welterweight and have him defend his title at UFC 200.

Since I see Edgar and Aldo are having a rematch for a freakin' interim title.. I hope Frankie wins and Conor loses so that Conor is forced to take the Frankie fight next.

Either Conor's ego is forcing him to take this fight at 170lbs, or he's hoping with a win he'll get that GSP fight at MSG.

Prediction: McGregor  |  Decision

Dana has already said it's his ego. He said Conor wants to beat Nate under the exact same circumstances (barring the fact that Nate has more time to prepare this time, which actually works in favour of the pointConor's trying to prove).

He wants to erase that loss since he feels the loss had more to do with him than Nate.

Brett Okamoto tweeted saying,

Dana White says UFC tried to talk Conor McGregor into going back to 145 or at least 155 after loss and Conor refused. Conor wanted 170.

— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) March 31, 2016


Two things I have to say about this. First, Conor should vacate the FW title; I know Aldo and Edgar fighting for the interim belt, but nobody cares about interim belts. Second, I am happy to see that Conor uses my same tactic I used as a child playing EA NHL 2002; I lost the Stanley Cup Finals..... I'll just reset the game, it never happened. He is not really respecting Nate or the FW division here.

I like Conor, but at times he makes it hard to like him. I'll be rooting for Nate here... a big plus here is that Nate another big payday

The UFC shouldn't have to talk him into it. They say hey you are the 145 champ you need to defend that belt now.

I really enjoyed Conor's rise to the UFC title. It was a fun ride if you were on his side. However if this is what his title reign is going to be like, I'm out.

Seven months after winning the FW title, they're already staging an interim belt because he's refusing to defend his belt so he can have a non title fight at a pointless weight class. Had he'd agreed to fight Nate at 155 than they could promote this fight as, the winner fights for the LW belt next, but now there are zero stakes in this matchup other than questions about Conor's ego.

@poir420 I couldn't agree more! What was it that Frankie said? 'The C, in UFC stands for Conor"

I love that Diaz isn't a company man!

I get that Conor want's to avenge his loss but I wonder why he thinks fighting Diaz at the same weight with a full camp will get him a better result. Diaz can obviously withstand his punches and not go down so I pretty much see the fight playing out the same way again.

I really don't see it happening the same way.  I see Conor fighting a lot smarter, he'll at least make it to the 4th before he chokes.


lol


Seriously, Conor was all aboard the Coke train since the Aldo fight.  If he's sober during this camp.  It could play out different.

Yes, make him vacate the title.
The press conferences will be different as now Nate can rub Conors face in sh!t with the fact that he lost.
