He had one shot against Conor and he completely blew it. Didn't get his manager to update his contract because he thought he'd win and then start to make big money, then he not only lost but also turned himself into complete laughing stock.
Historical revisionism is the name of the game in MMA, and when they review Eddie's career, none of his achievements in Bodog, Dream, Bellator and the UFC will matter. All the majority will remember is how pathetic he looked against Conor after calling him the easiest fight at LW.
Overall his run in the UFC has been uninspiring to say the least. First he disgraced the Sapp-Alvarez scale by turning himself into a boring ass wrestler, then he got clowned on red panties night, then he played dirty twice against Poirier, the first time it got ruled an NC, the second time he got penalized and then KTFO. He was making less money post Conor than he did near the end of his Bellator tenure, and that's not including sponsorship. He ain't staying in the UFC.
