That special privilege you're talking about isn't just happening to Conor. Dillashaw was offered the chance to fight DJ. Cormier is fighting Stipe. GSP fought Bisping. Max was gonna fight Khabib

If you're at the top of your weight class then I don't see a problem with allowing people to challenge for other belts.

If anything GSP fighting Bisping was the least deserving of them all, since he was out for so long. I ain't saying he shouldn't of got the fight with Bisping, he definitely deserved the offer he was given.

Not everyone has to work their way up xd


Like iRespect. He earnt his spot on the top and now he's 'enjoying Thailand and its massages' as he said

Conor isnt the top of the division. Thats the BS that youre failing to see. He has fought ONE lightweight. How the hell does that make him top of the division?

Please continue letting us all know certain people with more worth to the company get better treatment, you're an adult you should know lifes not fair.

You're a broken record at this point

Piwah made great points, and if we use your example as reference, GSP has never fought a MW and gets a MW title right away, Dillashaw has never made 125 and gets a title shot right away, Cormier has fought HW like once in the ufc and gets a title fight. Same with max.

also Conor is at the top of the UFC.

Life's not fair. Thats your big answer.
I guess UFC is just a giant popularity contest.

Called Ultimate fighting championship but hey! If you're popular we will throw that right out the window and give you what ever the hell you want

I was talking about him being top of the featherweight division when he was offered the fight for LW belt??

That was literally the arguement you were making, that he got special privileges because he was allowed to go up and fight for the LW belt, no?

Now, if you're talking about him still being in contention for a fight for the LW belt, then that is purely because of how big he is..

That was one of the reasons I despised him so much at the time. DANA WOULD NOT LET JOSE ALDO GO TO 155 AND KEEP HIS FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE.

You wanna talk about ontop of the featherweight division, Aldo was king and wasn’t afforded that luxury, but Conor for sure.

Always was really salty about this bs.

As skilled as Aldo was, he had no appeal. Dude didn't even learn english.

Money talks

That might be the most lame excuse ever.

This isn’t corporate America, or in your case Canada. This was suppose to be professional sports.

Professional sports is a business and as capitalist as any corporation.

yet the NFL/MLB/NBA/FIFA don’t set rules based on how they feel you will be viewed publicly.

“Well the raptors aren’t very popular, so instead of the 7th seed we will not put them in the playoffs for the Knicks who are worse but will make more money”

You are saying you are fine with WWE style matchmaking as long as it favors your guy.
