At least a small part of wanting to fight is his fights get additional advertising for his business as part of the fight contract. Millions in exposureIn addition he seems like the standard combat sport cautionary tale.
Dedicated and motivated to start, success then breeding apathy, now he seems completely ******* scattered.
I believe he probably wakes up some mornings and WANTS to fight, then lack of attention span and motivation pulls him to do something else.
God knows if i had his money and passive income i wouldnt wanna get in a cage and get punched in the head anymore.
I mean, does he really need it? No. But it's advertising they'd have to pay for otherwise
He's also an egomaniac so keeping his name in the headlines matters
He's also delusional and still believes he's the best.
It all adds up, I believe him when he says 'he wants to fight'. I also know better that he won't be any time soon due to business risk/need on both sides. He needs to be healthier to sign on the dotted line, the UFC will ensure that before anything is offered & I think they want him to extend beyond these last 2 fights. At some point his deal will run out though so who blinks first. Conor, as the UFC doesn't really need him
