McGregor is not the people's champ.

[Jake the Muss]

McGregor has a track record of only taking fights that he thinks he could win or has nothing to lose. For example, off the couch Mendes, title fight with Aldo, boxing match with Mayweather, title fight with RDA, Cabo Nate, rematch with Nate at 170, and now people are trying to drum up a title fight with Alvarez, because "an Aldo rematch won't do the same numbers as a fight with Alvarez".

However, when it comes to a legit money making match like a title unification fight against an MMA legend, where McGregor's reputation is on the line; he isn't really feeling that. Ohhhh…he isn't really feeling that? Maybe he would feel better in WWE, where wins, losses, and belts don't matter; only paychecks and fan boy fantasy match making.

Vacating the FW belt without a title defense makes McGregor look superficial, unconfident, insecure, scared of responsibilities, unauthentic, and fluky. The fans sense these weaknesses, and it's bad for MMA. Just look at the vacuum Mayweather created in boxing. Never in the history of MMA, has there ever been a champion who vacated their belt without defending it.

This is not the constitution of a true champion.

The people's champ are reigning champs e.g. GSP, the Silva's, Aldo, Couture, Fedor, Nogueria, Sakaruba, the Gracie's, etc…not fighters like Conor "One Hit Wonder" McGregor.

Just look at the vacuum Mayweather created in boxing. Never in the history of MMA, possibly in combat sports, has there ever been a champion who vacated their belt without defending it.

As a point of fact TS: lots of boxers drop belts without defending them. Some to avoid sanctioning fees. Some just move up to the next class. Keep your focus on MMA/UFC.

I only know 2 tings about Conor -

1) He's the bank account champ

2) Because Lesnar says it's okay. For now.

Why do people complain about the Mendes fight? He could have easily done a Jon Jones and just not accepted a fight at all. He took a bad stylistic match up and a couple of weeks notice.

 

[Chromosome47]

As a huge Aldo fan I'll be very disappointed if they don't unify the belt but you need to wipe your man tears TS. Who fucking cares about peoples champs.

 

[Youdumfaks]

He's the most popular fighter in the world right now so uh yeah, he kinda is people's champion sorry man.
