If he was great I wouldn't hate. Problem is he's not. If he was as great as this forum and the UFC would have you believe he wouldn't have lost to an unlinkable via sub, then to Duffy, then to 2 week Diaz. Finished each and every time. Machida went on a 7 fight streak and took the belt without losing a round. That's something "great" and you don't hear anyone talk about him now.
They are gonna talk shit about anyone Conor fights anyway. This is nothing new. Its the way of 'tings.
I made a thread about this a few days back. Lay nothing but fact on them and they simply can't comprehend it. Most of them didn't even exist at the time Khabib was making his run. While he was making his way to the top Conor was trying to hang in there with a one leg 21 year old Holloway. Holloway entered the entire fight on one leg while Conor lost his half way through the second, had to get that out there before they start nit picking. All they remember is Khabib rehabbing, they're too green to remember anything else. They also try to use the current standing of the fighters he beat instead of where they were at at the time he beat them. They use this technique to say Khabib doesn't have good wins which simply isn't true.
Lo and behold your join date is right around that time frame, day after the Holloway fight lol. Conor is a product of circumstance. He was losing to a 1 week notice Mendes until he gassed and Conor pushed him over so Herb could jump in and stop it. I would say we can discuss this when Khabib and Conor fight but after he gets smoked by Eddie I don't think we'll have the chance. Khabib will be busy taking the belt while Conor falls into obscurity. Conor won't even end up with a single title defense to his name.
Conor also went on a huge winning streak. He also won a belt. He also made it look easy in most of his fights, including when he fought for the belt. And he also lost only 1 round in all of those fights.
Khabib has 1 win against a top fighter and he barely fights. So for you to say that Conor isn't great, and that Khabib is, It is kinda of funny. You're just a hater.
Plenty of delusion here.
There are many Conor fans on this board who have been passionate MMA fans for years. Know why? It's because Conor is in good fights. They're simple fights, so casuals can get into them too, but that hardly means Conor's fanbase is exclusively casual.
Conor is also not a product of circumstance, unless you mean the circumstances he created by jawing endlessly and then knocking people out. He was losing to Mendes until he won? On scorecards, sure, but both guys were getting hit and Conor was getting the better of most exchanges and got the better of Money in the end. Notice Mendes not protesting the stoppage? That's because Conor rang his bell pretty hard.
Pushed him over? HA!
What good wrestler has Conor beaten aside from 1 week training camp mendes?
People was saying the same before Conor won the FW belt.
And even now they still do, crazy. I guess haters like you just can't realize how great he is. We know that If he gets the LW belt, you won't ever post about Conor here again, and if you do, it will be only excuses.
He needed more camp and skin cream and then he'd have won? Get out of here with that. He didn't protest because he'd just been rocked hard.How do you expect to him protest when he's gassed out? He got time to cut weight and fight and was still whoopin Conor. It's not hard to come to the conclusion that had he had a camp and gas the fight would have ended entirely different. Instead it was another instance of the luck of the Irish. P4P luckiest fighter to ever do it.

Conor had no real preparation time for Chad either. It works both ways.By this logic why do fighters have camps then if they make no difference? May as well start pulling people off the street, to hell with training and preparation.

he is not great, please.
he is a very good counter puncher but we all know he wasn't tested (that is until the diaz fight) in FW. yes he ko aldo but that's was more of the mind games he played against him. in his record most of teh guys he fought were strikers not counting mendes; that was a 2 weeks notice fight.
it's very amazing how you zealots overstates the abilities of irish jabroni, he is very good but he is not the mma god most people think he is
I like how you have given up on eddie already.Lets not beat around the bush. How confident are you that your so called "god" and the "GOAT" of mma would be able to handle khabi
