I'm not married to that idea really

Oddly enough, McGregor is both under rated and over rated at the same time.

People ignore his victories over top caliber fighters like they didn't happen - Aldo defeated in 13 seconds, Mendes 2nd round TKO, Alvarez lopsided beating TKO
I bet you can't explain yourselfYou're exactly who the crying chick meme was made for. What an embarrassment you are.

To demonstrate that you aren't a spineless lil weasel who's running from me.
Why explain myself to an obvious troll with little or no comprehension skills?
True. McGregor is rated too highly by most of his fans. He's also underrated. Most of his critics don't see just how good he is at fighting. When he was active, he was probably the best striker in the UFC.Conor is the definition of an over rated fighter
What is wrong with you people ?

last word i guess since you're off?
His initial run through the featherweight division was effortless domination, and it doesn't get enough credit. Nobody mentions the fact that he fights injured (Max Holloway and Chad Mendes), faces whoever is available when an opponent pulls out, and generally does not give a shit who they put in front of him. 3/7 of his featherweight fights were with all time greats in the division, fights he dominated from start to finish.
Most fighters, even the great ones, usually take a little damage over the course of many fights. In McGregor's first seven fights in the UFC, he barely got hit at all, 5/7 received "Performance of the Night" bonuses, and were just flawless, effortless knockout victories that made his elite opponents look like amateurs and his amateur opponents look like bums off the street.
On top of all this he fights Nate Diaz on short notice at 170, dominates Diaz until he gasses, and then avenges the loss, again at 170, instead of returning to his own weight class and chalking up the loss to being outweighed like most fighters would have done.
He gets better every fight. His latest fight with Alvarez was the best we've seen - how about the KO combo where he landed 4 punches while Eddie was falling in midair? Just crazy.
The hate he gets is unbelievable. He's a knockout artist with unparalleled technique - he should be considered in the same breath as the other greats at this point, yet here we are debating with half the forum that he's just some playboy moneymaker clown who will be exposed.
Just because he is a huge celebrity doesn't mean he's overrated.
Stick to the facts and consider his resume. @PROlogic on this forum said it best, if he beats Khabib that will be the second 10+ year undefeated fighter in their prime he has beaten - Aldo at 25-1 and Khabib at 26-0. No other MMA fighter has come close to that, and he has done it in the most stacked divisions in the sport!
All the excuses and "but what if..." from the anti-Conor crowd could be said about any great fighter as active as Conor. Jones gets exposed in his first fight with young fighter his size (Gustaffson), Silva was fighting bums, GSP fought for decisions, etc.
A lot of MMA fans have this Hollywood idea that to be a great fighter you have to be this humble, respectful, Gracie-type gentleman killer. The truth is the competition is cage fighting, and some wild crazy Irishman isn't necessarily a bad fighter just because he doesn't fit the stereotype of being an honorbound bushido artist.
It's the same uniqueness that makes him great that makes it easy for people to caricature him as a buffoon - the lopsided, quick knockouts make it easy for people to say the victory was a fluke; his technical mastery of primarily using his hands makes people think he is imbalanced elsewhere (he isn't), the extreme self-confidence makes people think he is BSing.
Godamn @PROlogic look for medical attention.People ignore his victories over top caliber fighters like they didn't happen - Aldo defeated in 13 seconds, Mendes 2nd round TKO, Alvarez lopsided beating TKO
How do you rate someone who's last fight was with a bus?
It's so funny how Conor fans will say he was dominating Nate Diaz until he gassed, yet won't say the opposite of when he fought Chad Mendes. They only gloat about the 2nd round TKO, yet seem to forget he got dominated in the 1st round before Chad gassed.People ignore his victories over top caliber fighters like they didn't happen - Aldo defeated in 13 seconds, Mendes 2nd round TKO, Alvarez lopsided beating TKO

People love to claim that he only excels when beating up on fighters smaller than him, yet when he loses to a fighter larger than himself (Nate Diaz, whom had a bigger advantage in size than Conor had over any of his opponents, barring Brimage and Mendes), they'll then ignore the size differential and just laugh as they point out, "Huh huh, he lost to a gatekeeper."
