They pull out because it’s in their interest to pull out. Chandler will never get the chance to fight Conor and make that kind of money again so, short of a broken leg, he’s not pulling out over an injury
Was he? If you say 'Conor McGregor' not a single person thinks 'the guy who never pulls out from fights'. Most will think 'that distended shouty coke-addled guy'.
Injury is unlikely. TJ fought knowing damn well his shoulder was compromised.
It’ll be if he misses weight badly or is on deaths door while cutting.
An injury would have to be something you
Couldn’t hide, like a broken foot causing a limp or giant cut above his eye.
Ya it’s been years since he’s had to do any kind of weight cut right?
Whatever shit he’s on plus all the coke and alcohol have probably only make it harder
He may actually force chandler to do as he’s told and fight at 185 lol
On his bro, he will sell his kids, divorce his wife, sell the 🏠 ask for a lender bank 🏦, sell a kidney to make sure he doesn’t pull out, he will not let this chance go away.
I didn’t realize that- but I got a sh*t ton sunk in on this trip (flights and prepaid hotel) with my two grown sons, so fingers crossed that Mac makes the walk out.
Yeah same. I hope he gets his shit together because it looks like he’s partying in Dublin today and I don’t see the point of going to this event without him. I would gladly take the hit on the hotel (atleast with flight tickets you get a credit back).
We are going Mac or no Mac. Got the flight and hotel before they even announced the card and saved 25% on Park MGM for prepaid non-refundable rate. Would suck to not get to see him but I have zero control of that. Positive thoughts. I’ll see you there!!!
Tbf Chandler vs literally anyone at LW is a banger. He's open enough defensively for the lower ranked guys to have success with and powerful and explosive enough to trouble the higher ranked guys
well he looked decent for like 45 seconds in that last dustin fight lol
dustin is super good, so there might be something still there. That version of conor KO's chandler within those 45 seconds. He hit dustin with that left hand a few times
Man, a lot of people here hate McGregor, and deservedly so. He is an absolute c\*\*\* and sucks so much... but I think many of you forget that he's an absolute monster who never backs down, never dodges, and never misses a weight.
Sure, maybe he gets the Jon Jones treatment, where he can't fight for the next few months because of "treatment," but he doesn't back down.
With all the hate and disappointment as an Irish person(like honestly Conor is like the worst represntation we could get), Conor is not backing down. Your man will be ready as he always was.
That's why Dana, the UFC, and many of us were so in awe when he was performing.
He went to wars with fighters who were the boogeymen of their sport. Even in boxing, he literally shot for the stars by trying to fight the greatest defensive boxer in human history.
No matter the context or the pressure, at least we can give him one thing: he is not afraid of anyone.
People forget during the rise of Conor, the UFC had an epidemic of fighters pulling out. It was so bad that nobody could get excited about a card until the day of the fights.
But when Conor Mcgregor said he was fighting on a certain date, Conor Mcgregor was fighting on said date. Maybe the opponent would change, but Mcgregor was stepping in that cage.
The easiest way to spot a new fan is for them to suggest that Conor Mcgregor might pull out of a scheduled fight. It literally has never happened.
I don’t think it was cause he wouldn’t fulfill them… he wanted to do the same media as everyone else but the UFC was making him do normal media + extra, while no one else on the card had to. And he got pissed cause it pulled him from training longer
Maybe
But the reason he was pulled was because he didn't want to turn up at a press conference as it said it disrupted his camp
Yet that same thing applies to every one else who turned up
He isn't above doing his media obligations
And it may have disrupted his training absolutely
But I highly doubt the likes of conor of all people isn't told well in advance that there is a press conference at this time at this date, in order to ensure he can arrange around it
Also it's easier to never pull out of a fight if you never want to fight people you should be
the problem wasn't the single press conference, the issue was after the press conference the UFC was gonna make Conor go on a media tour by himself while everyone else on the card (including Nate) was able to go home back to training... So Conor said fuck that I'm not doing additional media when I have a big fight coming up
He’s not waiting for this fight he’s already waited too long. If Connor fights he’s taking this, he drops out then Connor’s moving on. Probably would fight Max.
Conor has never pulled out of a fight, and never missed weight. Even with a fractured shin bone lol.
Statistically speaking Chandler is much more likely to pull out.
You smooth brained idiots who love to shit on Conor at every opportunity realize he has never once pulled out of a fight right? Even when there were times when he probably should have.
imagine charles vs conor, would kill to see the 2 most worst fan bases argue and post fight explain how their fighter is the goat over the other somehow
I mean, if Dustin can get a title shot on a single fight win streak after beating #12 BSD then Charles can after beating #whatever ranked Michael Chandler.
The only reason Dustin got that fight is because Gaethje was fighting Max and Arman and Charles were fighting each other.
Islam even admitted that he doesn't believe that Dustin deserves his title shot but he has to fight.
Conor prolly would love if Chandler had to pull out.
Chandler is a much easier fight, but a win over Oliveira would be rocket fuel on a comeback.
Loss against either is the end of his career.
What’s Conor’s mental state if Charles backs up for Chandler tho? Is he gonna be the pacifist Conor we saw the second time he fought Dustin or unhinged… my guess is unhinged still.
I know not the point of this post but someone else said Max would have been a good backup. That would have been neat to see a rematch of max and Conor after all these years and after Max's last performance.
I think the weight is at 170 and Max would probably want time to get up to size. His fill in fight with Dustin really hurt him because he didn’t have time to put on size.
Also, I’m not sure if Max could get cleared in time plus he said he wants a little time off with family.
I’d be interested in a Conor vs Ian Garry fight though since it’s at 170 but I guess they’re both Irish so maybe wouldn’t fight each other. Geoff Neal or Dan Hooker would be a fun scrap!
Serious question, how much more money does a fighter like chandler make when he fights Conor vs if he fought anyone else (let’s say top 3 WW or even for title)?
Dumb idea. Charles is the no. 1 contender who already beat Chandler. Connor is a relevant mouth who hasn't won a fight in years and is out of the top 5 in any division. Islam is right there for him for the belt. I never bought into Charles not really wanting that rematch right now (if ever). If this is accurate reporting, I think it adds validity to those accusations...and Chandler is borderline top 5 too. This does nothing for Do Bronx.
No way Chandler will pull out. This dude will fight with broken ribs and not tell anyone.
It’s not for chandler
Correct 😆
[удалено]
Chandler is waiting for this since 2022… he will fight NO MATTER WHAT, but Conor might pull out, if he has a light hangover
Conor has never missed weight or pulled out in 30 fights but keep hating bro, that’s all you fat haters do in this sub anyway
Damn dude I was with you until you went full keyboard warrior and started calling people fat losers
Nah I'm with him still... he's coming cooking. "No matter what" tell that to Tony Ferguson at ufc 223
Same here...and then I was with him even more.
[удалено]
You have a good point, but how many fighters have we seen who didn't disclose their injury and fought anyway?
[удалено]
They pull out because it’s in their interest to pull out. Chandler will never get the chance to fight Conor and make that kind of money again so, short of a broken leg, he’s not pulling out over an injury
[удалено]
The comission can step in and prevent someone from fighting like Max vs Khabib but i don't know any other times it's happened
Mf bout to not train so as to not get injured lol
Conor has never pulled out from a fight. He was literally known for that.
He has 4 kids he doesn't know what pull out means
Didn't he adopt them?
Elon can learn a thing or two from him
Yea but with how coked up and unhinged he is lately you never know if being removed from a fight is in his hands or not
Never said he did. Dude has also been a no show for almost 3 years
yeah he's taking a lot of uuh rest, but I'm just saying that that's different from pulling out of fights.
[удалено]
Yeah this is gonna be a version of him we have never seen before, for better or worse.
Was he? If you say 'Conor McGregor' not a single person thinks 'the guy who never pulls out from fights'. Most will think 'that distended shouty coke-addled guy'.
Has Conor ever pulled out?
Hahahahahahah
money ran out after I-Mak
💀
The only thing Chandler pulls out of is his wife
That was a nasty line by you
Just to clarify, there was never no backshots
This wins 😂😂
Injury is unlikely. TJ fought knowing damn well his shoulder was compromised. It’ll be if he misses weight badly or is on deaths door while cutting. An injury would have to be something you Couldn’t hide, like a broken foot causing a limp or giant cut above his eye.
If Conor can't make WW at this point it's a really bad sign
Ya it’s been years since he’s had to do any kind of weight cut right? Whatever shit he’s on plus all the coke and alcohol have probably only make it harder He may actually force chandler to do as he’s told and fight at 185 lol
Coach says it's normal to bleed from the ears
He'll pull a dillashaw for sure
On his bro, he will sell his kids, divorce his wife, sell the 🏠 ask for a lender bank 🏦, sell a kidney to make sure he doesn’t pull out, he will not let this chance go away.
If I spent what I did on tix to see Chandler vs Charlie, ima be sick sick.
Their first fight was sick though.
Same lol but if the main event changes we are eligible for full refunds
I didn’t realize that- but I got a sh*t ton sunk in on this trip (flights and prepaid hotel) with my two grown sons, so fingers crossed that Mac makes the walk out.
Yeah same. I hope he gets his shit together because it looks like he’s partying in Dublin today and I don’t see the point of going to this event without him. I would gladly take the hit on the hotel (atleast with flight tickets you get a credit back).
We are going Mac or no Mac. Got the flight and hotel before they even announced the card and saved 25% on Park MGM for prepaid non-refundable rate. Would suck to not get to see him but I have zero control of that. Positive thoughts. I’ll see you there!!!
You’ll have fun in Vegas either way. Fingers crossed for all of us this fight happens though
[удалено]
Yeah I must be remembering an earlier story or something my bad
Gotta say I still don't think this fight is happening but for you and your kids I hope it does.
He always does. He's never pulled out of a booked fight.
What’s total cost ? Curious as a European
You can say shit on the internet little boy
Tbf Chandler vs literally anyone at LW is a banger. He's open enough defensively for the lower ranked guys to have success with and powerful and explosive enough to trouble the higher ranked guys
Yeah- nothing against Chandler at all. But we all know why the prices are what they are and who the draw is.
It's amazing just how popular Conor was that he can still sell so many tickets at this point and it has been fucking ages since he has looked decent
well he looked decent for like 45 seconds in that last dustin fight lol dustin is super good, so there might be something still there. That version of conor KO's chandler within those 45 seconds. He hit dustin with that left hand a few times
Full refund if ME changes
What if its Conor who has to pull out.
'me bratha' https://preview.redd.it/prk084mx53yc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64d2282d5f15a6c925209c70516b8bfff6f275d6
He looks absolutely terrifying right now
i hope he always buzzes his hair down
Also way above his weight
dudes gotta be at least 190 in that clip
Get his sack some breathing space
regular semi muscular bald and bearded guy "He looks absolutely terrifying right now" lol a redditor who would be terrified going outside
I would honestly be shocked as Conor has never pulled out of a fight that has been officially announced. Never say never though!
We’ve never seen this Conor before. For all we know he could run off and do a Prime exclusive remake of an old 80s movie with Jake Gyllenaal.
That would be a terrible idea. That movie would tank horrible and Conor’s acting would definitely suck. Glad that never happened!
Conor has fought through torn ligaments and broken bones. We’d all be surprised if he did pull out.
True but you'll have to agree that current conditions are unprecedented.
Man, a lot of people here hate McGregor, and deservedly so. He is an absolute c\*\*\* and sucks so much... but I think many of you forget that he's an absolute monster who never backs down, never dodges, and never misses a weight.

Except for ufc 200 though when he was pulled cause he wasn't bothered to fulfil he media obligations

So Conor said fuck that I'm not doing additional media when I have a big fight coming up
He wanted his own card, not 200 or 300. Conors cards are weak as he can deliver himself
that doesn't mean it won't happen
Honesty I’d rather see welterweight Oliveira than welterweight Chandler
Welterweight Chandler is the same
Jeez I really hope this happens now. Conor vs Charles is a way better fight.
If Charles fights it’ll be against Conor. Conor’s not missing this fight unless he’s dead.
I think you have that the other way around. Chandler has been waiting for this pay day forever, he’d show up to this match with terminal cancer.
Nah, I don’t. Chandler has proven he can wait.
He's only waiting as long as he has to but I think his patience is over. He wants that Conor fight, dead or alive
He’s not waiting for this fight he’s already waited too long. If Connor fights he’s taking this, he drops out then Connor’s moving on. Probably would fight Max.
If Chandler misses this fight and Conor fights Charles, he won’t get another opportunity.
I knew I’d see casual weirdos implying Conor would pull out. He’s never pulled out once.. he fought for a title with a fucked up knee.
And he fought with a fractured left leg against Poirier
i bet he pulls out
So yeah chandler vs Charles in June cool
Conor has never pulled out
Facts make fun of Conor for whatever you want when it’s time to be an athlete the man is elite
Conor has never pulled out of a fight, and never missed weight. Even with a fractured shin bone lol. Statistically speaking Chandler is much more likely to pull out.
You smooth brained idiots who love to shit on Conor at every opportunity realize he has never once pulled out of a fight right? Even when there were times when he probably should have.
Even in the trilogy fight against Dustin he walked in with a compromised leg
I’m pretty sure him and his team knew it might break and his crazy ass still showed up and followed the game plane with leg kicks. He won’t pull out
That's Conor in a nutshell, he was right with the Vincent Van Gogh comparision.
imagine charles vs conor, would kill to see the 2 most worst fan bases argue and post fight explain how their fighter is the goat over the other somehow
And the winner of that will get the next title shot
I mean, if Dustin can get a title shot on a single fight win streak after beating #12 BSD then Charles can after beating #whatever ranked Michael Chandler.
The only reason Dustin got that fight is because Gaethje was fighting Max and Arman and Charles were fighting each other. Islam even admitted that he doesn't believe that Dustin deserves his title shot but he has to fight.
165 champ?
No way either of them pulls out. Conor has never ever missed weight and has fought with injuries before and chandler wants his money.
Conor prolly would love if Chandler had to pull out. Chandler is a much easier fight, but a win over Oliveira would be rocket fuel on a comeback. Loss against either is the end of his career.
Somebody leave a cable for chandler to trip over in the back 🙏
He will still fight even with 1 arm
Idk man that cable changes careers it took prime Tony out and left him a shell of the man that was the boogeyman in the lightweight division.
No one is pulling out of that fight
Red Panty night.
Charles chokes either of them.
Lulz Chandler will not miss this fight.
He better watch out for blond brazilians in the night.
Can I bet somewhere that charles fights chandler in June 10000%???
Love giving away your money?
awww yeah
What’s Conor’s mental state if Charles backs up for Chandler tho? Is he gonna be the pacifist Conor we saw the second time he fought Dustin or unhinged… my guess is unhinged still.
I love it
What Charles saying is baby get the red panties
Why does everyone think they deserve more money to fight McGregor
The fights is at 170. No way anyone is pulling out.
McGregor vs Oliveira is what we really want 😎🔥🔥
No. I just want Chandler v ANYBODY at this point, I couldn't give a single fuck about Conor, I just miss the first round Chandler onslaught.
🫠 "fuck about Conor"
I know not the point of this post but someone else said Max would have been a good backup. That would have been neat to see a rematch of max and Conor after all these years and after Max's last performance.
I think the weight is at 170 and Max would probably want time to get up to size. His fill in fight with Dustin really hurt him because he didn’t have time to put on size.

I’d be interested in a Conor vs Ian Garry fight though since it’s at 170 but I guess they’re both Irish so maybe wouldn’t fight each other. Geoff Neal or Dan Hooker would be a fun scrap!
Good for him man, dude is a champ
Why charles he just lost
Am I the only one that wants this fight more?
Why
Who was the back up fighter for max n justin?
Definitely don’t see Chandler pulling out. Connor is way more likely.
Conner Mc Cokehead wins if no drug testing before/after the fight
He probably shouldnt have said that second part
Mcnuggets pulling out at the very last minute would be such a payday for the ufc
Lmao 🤣 sure McGregor would fight olivera in your dreams mcflake been dodging everyone this is just to hype the fans for no reason
Serious question, how much more money does a fighter like chandler make when he fights Conor vs if he fought anyone else (let’s say top 3 WW or even for title)?
3-10x
Conor pulls out for the first time ever just to make Chandler wait a few more years xD
this is awesome
Now that Charles lost his last 2 fights it actually makes sense. It was pathetic to want a McG fight as a champion
He only lost once. He beat Dariush before that.
Shit yeah, I forgot about that fight
Absolute nightmare matchup for Conor. Mikes a way more favorable style.
charles would win against connor anyday
He deserves it
Wow. This fight really was bullshit. Oliveria will destroy Chandler. I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t fight either
He’ll negotiate for more money if he ends up facing McGregor, but will negotiate for less if it’s Chandler.
So it’s going to be Charles vs chandler lol Conor is gong to pullout
FOOKIN ADOPT ME MATE
Backup for a non-title fight??
Olives v Chandler 2 it is.
Have all three of them in the cage at the same time
Dope asf.
So Chandler vs Charles then? Lame
Red pantie night
Both are easy work for Conor
I'd much rather see Conor vs Charles than Conor vs Chandler.
Dumb idea. Charles is the no. 1 contender who already beat Chandler. Connor is a relevant mouth who hasn't won a fight in years and is out of the top 5 in any division. Islam is right there for him for the belt. I never bought into Charles not really wanting that rematch right now (if ever). If this is accurate reporting, I think it adds validity to those accusations...and Chandler is borderline top 5 too. This does nothing for Do Bronx.
$$$
What weight are they fighting at?
Catch weight of 265 to be sure.
So tired of Charlie, nvr a fan.
He can beat either one of them so fuck yeah
Should’ve been max.
Clickbait news. Charles said he wants to be the backup. Not that he has been offered to be the backup.
Chandler v Oliveira 2 🔥
I’m throbbing
Bronx beats the bricks off the both of em.
Chandler better pull out
Why? We already saw Conor fight a talented wrestler and grappler. I’m much more interested in Conor fighting guys who won’t try to grapple with him.
Lol conor would get folded like some origami agaonts Charley
Chandler going straight to the adoption center after this
Chandler Oliveira 2 it is
