Dave Meltzer when speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio said that Dana didn’t actually pull Conor, it was Lorenzo who made the call. “There’s a timeline to this, and I don’t know it exact, but it goes back well before any of this came out. They already had the showdown, and it was essentially a deal where I gather it was not Dana, it was Lorenzo who made the call. And it was Lorenzo who was talking to, whether it was Conor or Conor’s management. They were the ones doing the talking, so that’s one of the reasons why Dana probably didn’t bad mouth him.”

“Number one, is because it would also be bad business to do it, but Dana wasn’t involved in this. It was Lorenzo, and it was a basic thing of ‘I’ve done so much for you’ and they’re (UFC) like ‘well, we’ve done so much for you’, and it kind of got into a stalemate.”
