    When you see the way these so called fans talk about Connor and criticize his life it’s kinda disgusting and shows how the game truly loves nobody and it’s a cold buisness Connor had one hell of a run it was like a wild dream that became reality the whole mystic Mac thing just his whole couple years he had at the top. The guy is now a BUSINESSMAN and is damn successful why does he need to needlessly sacrifice himself to the wolves ? I hate to so it but UFC is almost a poor athletes game the best fighters 8/10 times are the young hungry broke ones as it’s so much for vicious than boxing and the money to come back into the ring is not so elusive so you honestly believe that Floyd Mayweather would have fought into his 40s if he got paid what the UFC is willing to pay champions ?

    Why doesn't some of the more respected mma journalists want to vote on the rankings ? They may not want to risk losing access to fighters or the UFC... If the UFC has influence in the rankings then it will cease to have anything to do with merit and will be a promotion friendl popularity contest...
