Tony Doesn't Know Which Belt They're Fighting For
At the press conference, Dana White constant reiterated that Tony and Khabib were fighting for the "real" belt, but he refused to say Conor was stripped of his lightweight title. The reporters caught onto this and a series of confused questions and ambiguous answers from Dana White followed. This really irritated me. Dana brands himself as a no-bullshit guy but he's constantly going back on his word and making false statements.
Up until now, I thought he had some strange reason for doing it and I thought Khabiba and Tony were in on it. Doesn't look like Khabib cares much either way, but understandably Tony is not in on it and is bothered.
It's a shame what Conor's doing. These guys are just chasing their dreams the way he was a couple years back. They want to be champion as badly as he wanted it way back when. I don't understand what he's doing. It just comes off as selfish, and it looks like he's got Dana and the entire UFC in his hands.
