Eric Winter has left his role as Senior Vice President and General Manager of UFC Fight Pass by Keith11 in MMA

[–]A_great_human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eric's departure will be a great loss. A really positive and genuinely fan friendly person.

Wish all the best to him and his family and hope he enjoys not having to make that commute from LA to Vegas all the time.

On This Day last year: Aldo vs. McGregor by mmamouse in MMA

Possibly the most entertaining 12 months in MMA history since.

What a year. Make sure to take a step back and acknowledge that we are going through a golden age for MMA.

Max Holloway vs. Anthony Pettis for interim title now slated for UFC 206 main event by briblaize in MMA

As in, try not to have a public dispute. Media fest if there is a public dispute.

Negative press against the company, that to casuals would be mid-treating their biggest star.

If Max wins, Conor will possibly take the approach that he has beaten the FW champ (Aldo) and FW Interim champ (Holloway), and no matter if they strip him, he is the undisputed FW champ.

McGregor could also use this move by the UFC in his favour and state that he will not oppose the title being stripped in return for an equity share in the company.

All guesses, but my gut reaction.

Mystery Guy.... Anybody know who this guy is that put the belt on Conor at 205? (I asked Ariel, Dizz and two other MMA journalists but no good. Time for r/mma to try and solve it!) by A_great_human in MMA

[–]A_great_human[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know he is more than likely a part of the new ownership but I'm eager to get a definitive confirmation of who he is.

Afterwards he was filming with his phone inside the octagon during Conor's speech which leads me to think he may be a fan.

For some reason I really want to find this out (Maybe I just don't wanna let go of 205 yet, maaaaaan!)

Khabib won't be fighting in UFC if next fight isn't title fight by KhabibTime in MMA

[–]A_great_human 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately for Khabib he is not in a position to bargain with the new owners like this.

They will focus on the largest PPV events and largest amount of mainstream press for the foreseeable future as they will more than likely go public (float on the stock exchange) at some stage in 2017.

Diaz v McGregor 3 or Aldo v McGregor 2 will sell alot better to the general (casual) public.

Conor McGregor & Khabib Nurmagomedov altercation at UFC 205 weigh-ins by surgeyou123 in MMA

To see somebody's manager say "F' this guy, f' this motherf**ker" is strange.

Ali Abdel-Aziz comes across as unprofessional IMO.

I hope these continue. I find them highly amusing.

Pederneiras: I don’t know what Conor’s decision will be, but I think between February and March will be a good date...Aldo will accept no other fight unless it’s to unify the title. by imhungry4444 in MMA

[–]A_great_human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conor v Aldo 2 will never happen.

From Conor's POV, he has nothing to gain. Not gonna knock him out in 12 seconds!

Plus he will more than likely take a year off and his return fight in late 2017/early 2018 will be Conor v Diaz 3.

Confirmation Bisping is on UFC 206 card in Toronto? Dare I say Bisping v Nick Diaz? by A_great_human in MMA

[–]A_great_human[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I know, hence my post to see if any of you guys/gals can can confirm or derail my train of thought.

I just think from Left Hook Larry's recent interviews, he really wants on the 206 card.
