Conor was cageside for the death of Carvalho on the weekend, but I can't imagine that would shake him up so much he would retire.

This just smells like a hype job.

If it's for real - meh, the sport will go on without him.

100% a publicity stunt. No way he retires after losing to Diaz and never defending his belt. he will back on at UFC 200 in no time.

Absolutely a publicity stunt. This has generated more talk about the fight then him doing the promotion he was meant to do

Mighty Mouse Demetrious Johnson is the top pound for pound fighter in the world for mine. Absolute beast of a man

He's in a real shallow division that's his issue... It's either him or Jones... And for mine Jones gets the nod based on the murderers row he's gone through...

Too bad no one gives a f**k about Mighty Mouse.
Well actually more and more people are starting to...

If he were to either go up or fight a guy like TJ Dillashaw or even a second fight against Cruz for the BW title he will start to become real popular...

He could potentially if it all pans out and he can best TJ or Cruz... Meet a guy like Frankie Edgar at BW or even a catch weight.... That would be a big f**king fight...

You can't knock his skills though... He's getting better and more diverse as he goes...

Exactly, if he goes up a division he might become real popular.

Its nothing against Johnson, hes an outstanding fighter. Its just midgets/flyweights really struggle to capture the main streams attention.

That and the fact that DJ can catch a hard right hook from a FW opponent, shake it off and adjust his approach to not get caught again. If Jones catches a hard right hook from a LHW opponent (like say Rumble) - it's lights out.

Mighty Mouse is still a legendary talent make no mistake.

How can you not love Mighty Mouse, he is speed and technique personified. Throw in a great coach like Matt Hume and you have easily one of the best champions the UFC will ever have.

Max Holloway is a bad man. Biggest balls in the UFC, put his certain win on the line to go toe to toe in the last 15 seconds. Said it before my favourite fighter!
