Sherdog, Question.... If Conor loses... is he out of his prime?

[BALLERSTATUSMCG]

But seriously, for the Aldo apologists out there.... are you going to say it was conor was never that good because you hate the guy?

 

[DWAYNEAMERICA]

It all depends on who Conor loses too and if they can spin it in a reasonable way...as they did with Nate Diaz.

But come on...Do you really think Conor is going to allow his persona and manufactured character arc to go down as some flaming out MMA fighter? Nah...Conor is protecting that legacy at all cost. He's not taking a losable fight in MMA ever again.

Conor's only been fighting high level competition since 2013. His prime should last another 5 years.

You can't evaluate someone's prime until you see all points of the career arc (rise to the top, top, and then falling from the top).

Lebron is playing probably the second or third best season in his career as an individual, running on 14 (I think) years in the league, a point where many NBA legends of old were outright retired.

For all we know, Conor might lose a fight and then Aldo/Alvarez five top 155ers in a row in 2018/19...or he may go on a coke and hooker run and get KOed in his next two fights...let it play out.

He's basically Rocky in Rocky III, but with a lot more coke.

Conors prime lasts precisely as long as Dana tells you it does. Now go buy a fight kit ya goof.

You see the fear in Floyd's eyes. He knows the human skull cannot absorb the power stocked in that left hand.

No you got it wrong TS when a fighter loses it means they fought cans their entire career and were overrated.
Is normal
