Yep, that was my first thought when I read the announcement

Just to clarify- Faber and Conor were never intended to fight at the end of the season
But I agree with you, Conor is always one or two losses away from an immediate title shot. He and Till have that unique power to them it seems

Conor going to take the team to spearmint weekly while Mike makes them go church every Sunday.
The shenanigans are going to bring either the lols or straight cringe, no in between with these two.

Because of the injury? I couldn’t remember.
Either pretty trash when the concept is the coaches fight each other at the end, essentially as a move in solidarity with their teams. But if anyone is going to get special treatment, it’ll be good old McNugget.

I had to look back as well to get the timeline straight- but I knew they were never scheduled to fight
"White, however, said unlike many seasons of the show, the two coaches won’t fight each other at the conclusion. Perhaps coincidentally, Faber and McGregor had a run-in on Friday prior to the weigh-ins for UFC 189, which took place Saturday in Las Vegas. In the main event, McGregor beat Faber’s teammate Chad Mendes for the interim 145-pound belt."
It looks like that season took place after Conor won the Interim belt by beating Mendes
At the time Dana was aiming to put Conor vs Aldo to unify- which is what happened after the season ended
After Conor unified, he was supposed to move up to fight RDA (which going back to the discussion of P4P fighting each other- that would have been another example) but RDA got hurt and Faber claims Dana wanted Faber to step in. But they went with Nate instead

Chandler overrated, but Conor straight WASHED. Def smart to have them fight. They been tryna make a star outta Chandler since he stepped foot in the UFC. a KO win over Conor would give him a huge rub

He was just responding to Porier who tried to clown Chandler and McGregor coaching TUF.

Chest thumping is part of the game. And MJ does have the bragging rights over Porier.
No different than Conor trolling or joking.
Could. Conor could possibly draw a large crowd to a stadium. Just not with the current UFC promotion engine
I remember when they were talking crazy with Brock/Fedor Cowboy Stadium.
Speaking of Fedor…

Conor still has the power to put Chandler’s lights out with a counter punch if Chandler comes after him with reckless abandon, which he usually does.
The real question is how is Conor’s takedown defense looking these days and does Chandler still have the wrestling to exploit it?
If the fight stays standing, I definitely favor Conor to win.

Johnson has bragging rights but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s worse than mid
Bench players can’t throw jokes at the greats

Is the Bellator main card airing on CBS?
Because my TV guide shows NCIS coming up after the prelims.

Fedor is my all time favorite fighter and there isn’t even a close second.
Whatever happens tonight, I just hope that the Master Bader doesn’t pull some LaynPray grind it out for a boring UD ********.
…I‘d rather see The Last Emperor get KOed than go out like that.

Eblen is legit. Man's leveled up in the Mousasi fight. Really want to see how he stacks up against the UFC top guys.
Taira is a beast man. Got the skills to definitely be a future title contender.

Eblen will be past his prime unfortunately when he gets to the ufc. Only Bellator guy a see jumping over and dominating is Usman N. bc hes so young.
