If Conor’s a 50/50 to comeback it’s worth waiting until its final that it’s not happening and at this point he’ll know soon, he’s already been in for so long he might as well go a little more and maybe it does happen and it paid off.

People should sometimes imagine if they were in his shoes. A few years ago he wasn't even in the UFC and nobody would ever imagine he would fight McGregor. You can't blame the man for making sure he dosnt miss out on this fight because it puts a massive stamp on his career win or lose. It isn't about money it's about fighting and the fact one day he was watching Conor with two belts and probably dreaming he could fight him and never thought it would be possible.
