how massive of a star does conor become if he beats khabib?

[BALLERSTATUSMCG]

Would it solidify him as a GOAT? to beat the best grappler mma has seen who was also undefeated at the time?

the magnitude of it is like the first Aldo fight.....

the build up and everything about would be epic....

even if conor loses in devastating fashion he gets mad respect imo and the haters would have to appreciate an amazing event

i dont think very big because he will be a huge favorite

 

[Soul On Ice]

No one outside of our tiny MMA bubble knows what a Khabib is

HOW he beat "insert fighter here" matters more than "who"

 

[trident]

Ever seen that shocked look on a person when a real attack dog gets a hold of them?

That's what I expect to see from Conor

 

[Arm Barbarian]

After he goes chicken strip-strips for the second time?

He'll be a hit with the casuals for sure.

But the fact that he's sat back and let the top contenders fight for the belt while he's sat it out, perfectly healthy, excludes him from ever being in GOAT talk.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Conor boxes Mayweather and is sponsored by Burger King. Beating Khabib isn't going to do anything more for his star power, except keep it going.

hardcores like yourself wouldn't change their opinion of him if he was to fight khabib this fall and win?

 

[Franc Mittelo]

Yes, to his fans and the media, he would be solidified as the GOAT. For me, he will prove that he is a GOAT talent with a record that doesn't reflect it.

You don't think he could ever make up for it?

Dumb, pointless thread.

Conor isn't fighting. And even less fuckin Khabib.

You deserve a triple yellow card.

 

[Sjb1888]

No bigger at all....

Barely anyone knows who Khabib is....

Seriously.

Look man, if he suddenly flipped a 180 and started defending his belt against the top contenders, then yeah, I might consider him a top guy.

But so far, he has done nothing of the sort, nor does he show the slightest sign of wanting to.

you're one of those guys that went bat shit crazy and lost their account when conor became champ champ tm yeah?

i respect your appreciation for the belt and fighting the #1 contenders 1-2 times per year

 

[MikalP]

jesus christ lmao

conor fans still obsessing over the "WHAT IF" hypotheticals


"WHAT IF" he wasn't a fucking duck? oh wait, he is. so no one gives a shit. "yeah but IF he came back and fought and won" well he isn't, so no one gives a shit. "well he WOULD win if he fought" yeah, but, he didn't, so no one gives a shit

 

[PEDS Help me Post]

He's already a huge star, just look at him!

If Conor beats khabib he wins back the MMA crowd to some extent and the casuals continue to worship him if Khabib wins it’s won’t affect the casuals too much IMO but Conor’s brand may be wrecked.

 

[surgeyou1]

Lol exactly the same. Khabib does nothing for him.

 

[Sansnom]

Let's face it, Conor is rich as a mofo right now. Do you really think he wants a part of the big boys?

Hell no.

To be honest, the only way I can see McGregor fighting again is for a big money fight. Diaz 3 or some bullshit fight with Floyd.

If he does come back to fight someone of the calibur of Khabib or Tony Ferguson, I will happily take my statement back.
