Props to McGregor for playing the game and making every jabroni on earth a cultist fan of his.
Fought Dennis Siver rather than a nr. 1 contender for his titleshot = smart, Mayweather would have done that.
Fought Chad Mendes on 10 days notice. Chad was percieved by SBG as his hardest match-up because of his wrestling. You can't wrestle for 5 rounds on 10 days notice, as everyone that's done a physical activity knows. Got the hardest match-up out of the way by taking him on 10 days notice = smart, Mayweather would have done that
Fought Jose Aldo for the title. Can't really call a title fight risky, when it's the end-goal for everyone. Nobody runs from a title fight. Even Mayweather would have done that.
Schedules himself to fight RDA for a second belt. Losing against RDA he can still call the shots at FW, beating him he has a once-in-history achievement having never defended his belt on the way. Got to keep his FW belt aswell, while other champions were only offered a second title-shot by dropping their own belt. No risk here, Mayweather would have done that.
Fought Nate Diaz on 10 days notice. This is the only risk of his career, losing this fight actually had implications for his future career as he would have to defend his belt next and couldn't get free title shots. This was after he KOd Aldo in 13 seconds, he was very high on himself at this point and funny enough the one risk he takes is a loss.
Fought Nate Diaz in a rematch at 170 again. The world talks only about Conor fighting a much bigger man, he was already finished by Nate. This fight could only improve his image. The alternative was to defend his belt, something that was still an alternative after a second loss = smart, Mayweather would have done that
Wants to fight Eddie Alvarez for the belt is back to the RDA scenario, smart = Mayweather would have done that.
I welcome the jimmy rustled Conor fans as they realized the guy takes no risks as he always enters the fight that leaves him the most options with a potential loss. I expect Aldo KO gifs, Nate memes and Conor hyperbole on full blast. Do your best frail computer nerds
