Dana White wants Conor McGregor to fight the winner of a title match? Motherfucker! Who the fuck does Dana think Conor is?! Let me get this straight:
Gaethje will challenge Khabib for title. Whoever wins, is champion. If Gaethje wins, his first title defense is against Conor. If Khabib wins, he gets to rematch Conor in a title defense.
Either way Conor will get another shot at the belt, while fighters like Tony who has been winning fights, who was before his defeat to Gaethje, was the #1 contender, won’t probably get another shot at it. This is total bullshit. It’s all about the PPV money. Conor brings cash and that’s all that matters. Dana will give him one title shot after another, win or not.
Dana hates Nunes and GSP because these guys, despite being champion, is hard to deal with, and isn’t making him money.
Case in point: Rhonda Rousey, another of Dana’s cash maker was given a title shot against Nunes, this was supposed to be her greatest comeback moment. The promotional material was clear; they want Rhonda to win. Hyping her up.
Why not hype Nunes who, you know, IS THE CHAMPION? and is proven to be the better fighter?!
Politics, man. It keeps popping up as a reminder that it all business in the end. Bah.
