I think fans want the Boogey Man and I heart N8 !
I don't get the debate here the fight with Ferguson is mandatory if he doesn't fight Ferg dawg he will have to vacate the title at lightweight.
the fight with Nate is just some arbitrary money fight that has no effect on rankings in any weight class.

exactly. Promoters use the belt to add importance to fights that the Casuals might watch. Conor doesn't need the belt to make fights interesting, or attract Casuals, at this point in his career. Especially in a fight with Nate.
wtf is nate ranked at nowadays?
He's beaten the champ...so anything is marketable, this the NEW AGE.
he beat the champ is a non title fight at 170 lbs conor also avenged that loss.
tony Ferguson is the 155 lb champ so that win is not relevant for the lightweight title .
I agree that nate vs conor is a marketable money fight but it has zero to do with the 155 lb title or any rankings Conor has a mandatory defense vs ferg loco or he will vacate the title at 155 lbs by fighting nate.
I agree I'm guessing he will vacate but this also devalues the 155 title rankings and title seem to have less importance in 2017 with the michael bisping vs gsp fights and conor making his own fights.
All I'm saying is that's what your criterea is, I don't necessarily disagree, but think that the UFC nowadays will always go for a "name" over a right to a title.
I agree with what you are saying I'm just saying the rankings and title hold little value if they meant something he would have to defend vs tony Ferguson as a mandatory defense.
instead of some exhibition match fight vs nate that has no bearing on 155 or 170 lbs divisions.
that nate vs conor fight will make money but it doesn't really mean anything in the mma rankings or titles .
Would look bad if the champ lost to anybody but the interim. Thing is does Conor want to fight?
I started this initially thinking you meant Tony can't fight Nate. But the discussion holds regardless
Then call out mayweather.
Damn thats actually right.
I believe Conor would murder Tony in a way that would make us all fear for Tyron and everyone at 170
The UFC needs to try and regain legitimacy(I almost laughed at this myself as I"m sure many of you will, but seriously). The Ferguson fight needs to happen. If they're going to continue with this Interim title shit, then atleast let it mean that you're the number one contender, next in line for the real thing.
Can't stand how MMA is essentially no better than WWE with some of this bullshit.
Whats the point in a number one contender facing opponent after opponent, going on a 9 fight win streak and winning a "title elimnator/interim title" only not to get a shot at the belt and then have a guy ranked below you, who's been less active, has a worse record and is 3 and 4 in his last 7, get a shot because "it's a bigger fight"
Diaz should just retire if he never wants to fight anyone but Conor ever again, fuck right off is what he should do.

It'd be better than Nate just getting a shot without having earned it, that's for sure.
If only that were true, maybe we'd have a real sport on our hands.
that's true based on UFC rankings but who follows that shit? Not even the UFC when they put together fights. Money and ratings don't care for rankings, I prefer more organized legitimate contenders fighting but I sure will not complain if money fights were put together.
Except Bisping vs GSP, not that I'm not interested but that fight is not the money fight or the proper contender fight.
Dangerous matchup ..
Ferg has very similar skills to Nate in regards to Cardio/Jits..
Ferg I'd say is even more aggressive with his submissions attempts.
Conor doesnt catch Ferg early he's F'd shouldnthe fight go past the 2nd
