Both these guys got passed up by the sport. There isn’t favorable opponents for them to reach the title. Both of them have business outside the ring. And I really enjoy watching some fighters get the snot beat outta them.
 
The fight makes sense to me. Both are draws and there's a decent chance McGregor gets a W if he takes it seriously.
 
This would only benefit Masvidal. Conor has nothing to gain here, just another loss on his record.

I'm not sure I agree with this. Who else in the UFC should McGregor fight that makes sense? Both are on losing streaks and it would still draw big PPV points. McGregor is the perfect foil for Masvidal and Masvidal is the perfect foil for McGregor. It would almost be a 'Loser leaves UFC' match where both can make money outside the UFC even if they lose. If they win they can try to regain some momentum towards the title. Masvidal wins, he can challenge his old foe, Leon. McGregor wins and he can claim stake to a title fight or at least a No.1 contender fight.

I've said for a while now the 'title fight' Conor has been talking about for his return will be Masvidal's BMF belt.

But its actually the UFC's #1 VS #2 biggest PPV draws.

Doesn't matter Conor has only 1 win since 2016, and Masvidal hasn't won in 3 years. Its still the biggest money-maker they can make.

Only questions are about Masvidal's criminal trial & when Conor wants to come back.
 
A motivated Nick Diaz is more dangerous than Masvidal IMO. An unmotivated Nick Diaz is something I don't want to see again. At least with Mas you know you're getting someone that's going to take it seriously and throw down.

There is a supposed backstory about his last fight with Robbie. I have never seen Nick come in out of shape, so I can believe he had some issues. If his neck is healed up, I would anticipate he would come to the fight in great shape. Masvidal would be a popular match up, and it would definitely generate huge money, but Masvidal is too big and strong for Conor. He would sleep Conor, and I think Conor knows that.

Two of Masvidal’s last three fights (in the cage) were WW title shots. I’m not saying I agree with it but if Conor won no doubt the ufc would use this to justify giving him a WW ts.

Too big? Conor would have to cut 20lbs. to make 170 now. He's walking around pretty massive for his frame. Masvidal may have the height, but Conor is much larger and more muscular than he's ever been. That could lead to his downfall, or it could lead to him sparking Masvidal's chin like Usman did.
 
Conor had enough problems with Nate...nah..not interested.

Yeah, ok September 2022 account. You're either trolling or drunk, or you just started following the sport again after taking a 7-year break.

That's your retort? Insulting my join date or implying I'm trolling or drinking? Do better.

Why don't you point out where I'm wrong instead? Conor is huge compared to any time before. Masvidal is taller, but they probably walk around within 10lbs of each other, unless Masvidal has let himself go.
