"Lies of our Father...."

---

Dana White is the forefather of the UFC, and the president whom tells us everything we need to know. His "no's" mean "yes", and his lies always seem to become truth. December 30th holds the date for UFC 219...whispers say McGregor will return!

---

Screenshots of now deleted conversations and statuses from social media platforms are the only remnants of proof for this fight being made. We have no clue as to whether Nate Diaz is telling the truth, as the 155 pound UFC lightweight contender has not fought, and will not fight until he gets an 8 figure pay day.... This is all supposed, but the truth is that Diaz will not come back unless he is fighting the Notorious one. I truly wish Conor would come back and fight a true number one contender, but I will settle for his flashy devastation any way I can get it.

We find the sport at a stand still between hard core and casual fans, those who beckon Conor McGregor at every step, and those who wants to forget him completely. It is almost as though Conor has secured the McGregorweight championship, as any fight he wants will be made, and he can wait an eternity to defend that golden strap. The UFC served a greater purpose at one point, and the championship title within this organization was seen as the pinnacle of the sport. The talent pool in the Ultimate Fighting Championship still makes this title the most prestigious and notable, but the lack of real championship level fights prevents anyone from appreciating the best mixed martial arts can offer. The UFC used to dominate primetime slots on cable television and CBS; Scott Coker and Dana White always had a healthy competition in creating the best fighter in the world, and people could watch the Strikeforce middleweight championship for free in their living rooms.

In the modern era of fighting, people must pay $60-$80 to see less quality and more spectacle. Martial arts is not about exhibition and [slight] mockery.. it is about the mental grind, the competition, the quality of fighter risking it all on the main stage. As a fan I'd hope to shut the door on a trilogy fight with these two; the most likely outcome would be McGregor winning as he adapts each fight where Nate (nor Nick) don't. It is an appeal to the everyday passerby of our sport, and I can respect and stand for that notion although I despise the matchup.
