If Conor had no intention of coming back why would he be doing 20 rounds of bjj sparring?

[TriangleMonkey]

To start a grappling career? Conor at ADCC will be a thing.

 

[flowoftruth]

Signing to fight will tell you his intention of coming back. Instagam posts are numba 1 boolshit

 

[Arrrrgh]

Do you know how sports contracts work? Sports stars get what Conor made last year in a span of 7-8 years.

You are defending a factually incorrect point. Conor doesn't crack the top 20. His total career earnings are approximately $110m assuming he made $70m from the Mayweather ppv points. To be in the top 20 "richest athletes on earth" he would need in the realm of 300m in assets. After tax and spending conor probably has about $50m.

That's a bunch of money. No need to sensationalize it.

Best to just let them not understand finances, other sports or how wealth works....
David bloody Moyes is worth £70m for goodness sakes.
Investors can be your best friend .

His BJJ is far better than you guys like to pretend it is.

Reverses a 2nd degree BJJ black belt:

Escapes a heel hook for that same 2nd degree BJJ black belt:

Sweeps another 2nd degree BJJ black belt:

Escapes a guillotine from that same 2nd degree BJJ black belt, who said that would've tapped anyone else:

Beats up the best wrestler in the division from guard with elbows:

Scrambles out from underneath an All American wrestler when he tried to pass, and then escapes a guillotine from a guy whose camp's specialty is guillotines:

Passing to full mount on Siver with ease:

Achieving full mount on Holloway not once but twice with ease:

Passing over into full mount on grappler Dave Hill

Escaping an armbar from Kywan Gracie Behring in no gi comp:

Conor's ground game is fine.

Shhhhhhhh! Around here, we like to pretend he has no gas tank and a ground game on par with Mike Jackson.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

He just likes playing touch butt

 

[El Fernas]

He was just walking by, no intentions to return.

 

[ChoKuRei]

I love how he rolls with the gi on and everything lmao like rolling for several months will stop khabib from taking you down over and over or Nate strangling you again or tony ferguson tapping you

You know this is MMA right? Not BJJ? They wont have much luck strangling him if he knocks them fucking dead first.

So many of you have a completely false sense of reality and think this man is a bum(despite HUMILIATING Aldo and Edward) just because Nate beat him once. You guys do remember Conor permanently altering Nates face right? His face literally will never look the same. He survived on his retarded zombie chin. Most normal humans are going to have a really bad time trying that against Conor.

 

[Paynebringer]

Because his BJJ sucks.

 

[kalabula]

Ali? If he's not the greatest, he isn't dave off.

 

[Kekonaut]

Next he'll post a picture of himself at the finish line of a marathon and pretend he ran it.

 

[shankmcgank]

He's never defended a title because he took the bigger fight instead.

- Was actually signed to defend his CW 145 belt before his opponent pulled out. Signed to fight for the 155 belt
- Never defended his CW 145 or 155 titles as he signed to the UFC
- Never defended his interim 145 title as he signed to unify it
- Never defended his 145 title as he signed to fight for 155 title
- Never defended his 145 title as he signed to fight the last man to beat him
- Never defended his 145 title as he signed to fight for 155 title
- Never defended his 155 title as he signed to fight Mayweather
- Never defended his 155 title as he isgned to fight for interim 170 title

Looks like a big list of excuses to me. If he actually wanted to defend one of the belts, he would have. How long did he sit out until the UFC was forced to strip him of BOTH titles ? I'm sure you have another excuse list for that too.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Of course he's coming back. Remember the time he prepared for Nate Diaz? The guy didn't want to fight Khabib or Tony because he wanted more time to prepare. The guy knows he wasn't ready for Khabib yet.

 

[MMAcolyte]

Typical Sherdog reaponse when someone actually busts out logic in their post.

We talking about stylistic matchups. Eddie and Jose are both reckless brawling strikers, they got away with it because they hadn't been against fighters who could reeally make them pay for it. They are cannon fodder for a masterful counter striker like conor and 10/10 times those fights would end in a similar way. But put him against someone who can match the boxing or who employs a grappling heavy style and now things get interesting.

 

[Horriblehim]

Cuz hes out of his mind on Cocaine

 

[Tweak896]

Hell if rumors are true he was doing that like right after the Aldo fight.

It's sad because he was such and active fighter, and because they helped him out and gave him what he wanted he stopped being a company man.

Yea well Khabib and Ferg better pray to whatever gods they believe in that they can in fact get Conor down before standing with him for even 30 seconds.

Edward thought he could grapple Conor and failed miserably at attempting to take him down

 

[markg171]

If he actually wanted to defend one of the belts, he would have.

Yes, and he didn't want to defend them because he had a bigger fight possible and was pursuing that.
