I think he may be suffering from the same delusions as those Bundy assholes in Oregon at that standoff at the wildlife refuge. Thinks he has a legion of supporters that will rally around his cause and force change by their shear numbers and will. Conor believes that his fans will rally around this boxing match, creating so much demand for it, that the UFC will have to let it happen or face dire consequences.
Same result will happen, imo. The Bundy's are in a cage and Conor will end up back in a cage.
