Re: Dana White goes off on Conor McGregor storming UFC 223 media day
Smells like fakery.
A bunch of stuff has happened to the Main Event. Tony Ferguson pulled out last week with an injury, so then a bunch of other dudes ended up being slotted to face Khabib. Because of missed weights and other shit, I think we're on like the 4th or 5th option....for a main event. That's total amateur shit right there. You're supposed to have a reliable contender ready to go in the event of a late injury/illness. Shit happens, we totally get it, but the fact that the backups were so fucked up created a real pisser for the guys (like me) who won't buy a PPV until the day of. So, enter Conor and company to stir up a little drama. And then media partner, FS1, has the NY studio spot already queued up for Dana the next morning? How convenient.
