Ok, but can we hold off on saying he's getting old until he looks like he's actually getting old? If anyones going to look good past the time when they should it's gonna be the guy who put a premium on not getting hit for his entire career and did a super good job of it.

No he already has slowed down but makes up for it with technique, picking opponents and fighting smart. It won't last forever

Yeah there's no way this happens without the UFC's backing; which will probably end up happening. No matter what the UFC's cut is, they probably make way more money than any of their PPVs has. WME has to pay that big debt.

No argument here, if he was gonna lose anything it would've happened with Nate.

He's slowed down a lot. Especially his legs, which were part of what made him exceptional as a young man. Worse fighters have adapted their games and still be successful at 40 though

It might if the opponents to pick are UFC fighters who kick a lot and got knocked silly by Nate Diaz. Like I'm not arguing that he's not human, or might catch a loss if he didn't have the ability to pick fights and sit on his rear end until/unless a choice one comes up....but he does. He'll probably never really roll the dice again and he's smart for it.

If I'm the UFC I'd just say "ok, we want to put together the rest of the card and we want one-third of the gate and PPV. You two figure out how to split the rest."

When the contracts are drawn up, to avoid Ali Act conflicts, just have it say that 1/3 of the the ticket price, PPV costs, etc is for the UFC, and 2/3 are for McGregor/Mayweather, have nothing to do with the main event other than giving Conor his one-time waiver, let the boxers negotiate on the gloves, how the non-UFC promotion is handled, have weigh-ins separate from the UFC, etc

Every fight is dangerous. Floyd is a big favorite but conor could win. Especially if Floyd has continued to diminish.

Conor mcgregor is gonna charge up his fist with his most power ever and unleash it at floys head who will disappear with a flicker and a laugh via instant transmission and punish him with a gigantic sphere of charged energy. Conor will manage to punch it into space at the last moment thanks to the 16oz gloves, but it crashes into the planet mars, destroying it instantly.

What if Nate and Conor see the opportunity to come together snd defeat their most dangerous mutual enemy (not having enough money) by performing the fusion dance, could Nator McDiaz defeat Floyd then

Conor has gone rogue on them. They would prefer him to go on a talk show tour promoting his next fight to defend the belt.

At this point they probably want to cash in, make a lot of money with this stupid boxing freakshow and after Conor gets thrashed then maybe he'll agree to defend his belt. If Conor gets, say, ragdolled by Khabib I don't think the UFC would be upset by that. They'll then promote their new champ, schedule fights in Russia if Khabib is the champ, and Conor will be in the position of either following orders or retiring.

It's hilarious to imagine Khabib being worth even a tenth of the business McGregor is. No one outside of hardcore mma fans care about him and he is hurt constantly.

if he screams the attack name before letting it go, it gives it a +100% drama modifier and floyd might not be able to teleport out of the way

Its not the WWE. The UFC does not have a "make sure Conor is a long-term active champion" option.

In a 2-on-1 match where Floyd has to defend himself against Diaz and McGregor in boxing, I do believe Floyd would get KO'd.

That's not how the fusion dance works, not to be rude or anything but please try not to weigh in on technique discussion if you don't really understand it

Cool but that wasn't the question, he asked if Conor and nate did the fusion dance and transformed into Conate Digregor, a new being with the multiplied power of both men as well as all of their tattoos would they beat Floyd before the fusion timer ran out.

if they used the earrings to become Nonor McDiaz instead, they'd get a full hour unless they used all their power on one punch then they'd not get an hour

I think we need to firmly establish universe rules for this fictional fight, is it in DragonBall z rules or is it in MGS 2/4 rules? DBZ definitely favors McGregor/Diaz, I think MGS is much more even.

In MGS2, the arm was possessing him, by MGS4, he'd cut it off and was faking it with hypnosis. Additional info required.
