Biggest problem with Conor is the amount of imitators.
Conor does trash talk but he also has a flashy style and well as good fundamentals. He also had the perfect folly in Jose Aldo and the whole division. Aldo was dominating and Conor was unique. He also comes across more natural with his talk and being Irish he has pretty much a whole country and anyone part Irish jump on him.
We are seeing fighters now trash talk to sell fights and coming up with some cringe worthy stuff. (Johnson in lead up to Gajthe) or fighters that aren’t natural talkers (Rockhold vs Weidman at the presser was embarrassing. And everything Colby says)
There’s also a lot more instances of flashy style fighters coming in. They come in with a bit of hype because they land a few spinning heel capoeira kicks on the regional circuits but that stuff doesn’t work in higher competition if you only have that.
Fighters should just be themselves. Works for GSP, Diaz bros, Bisping and most other bigger names, hell I don’t like him much but does anyone think Perry is saying things just to get famous? No that’s just his personality.
Colby will never be a superstar. The only reason he has fans on here is because he irks the SJW crowd and Anti SJWs bring him up to get a reaction (or generally an overreaction) from them. Once he loses he’ll disappear.
