I am a Conor fan, but an even bigger Alvarez fan. I despised the way Conor targeted Eddie's pay and boasted about making more money, about others not being able to pay their bills etc. Which led me to realise im not a fan of Conor's persona, but his body of work, and what he has been able to do for the sport's popularity.
On one hand, i want Alvarez to smash Conor, being a big fan of his Bellator and Dream fights. Would be amazing to see a true warrior like Alvarez, who comes from humble beginnings, get this moment.
On the other, i want Conor to win, not because i am a fan of his, but of the sport of MMA. And undeniably, what Conor has done for the sport single-handedly in terms of bringing in newer fans, mainstream exposure etc is huge for the sport, and a loss might hamper it a lot.
Anyone else having similar thoughts? All in all, in the end i can only hope for a war, just so that the newer fans see just how beautiful MMA can be, and for more and more people to stick around so that the sport keeps growing.
