went from the love of the game to the love of money.
went from being all in the fight game, to all in the business game.
went from extremely confident, to extreme doubt in himself.
went from walking the talk, to talking the walk. (doing what he says, to saying what he did)
went from walking the walk, to talking the talk. (hes all talk now)

Money might fix all your other petty problems.
Money is THE problem.
 
That's typically what happens when people get rich. You can't have that same fire to compete and risk getting your head smashed in in an octagon if you've got $100M in the bank.

I'm sure he's enjoying his life though, so in the end he probably wins, no matter what people on a message board think of him.
 
Conor is annoying and self absorbed (always has been). Money obviously changes things but a lot seem to ignore the UFC in all this. The amount of control they have over stars is always going to create great conflict.
 
Conor McGrifter
 
I hope a 32 year old with two kids and a few hundred million dollars behaves differently than a childless 25 year old... Imagine your perspective not changing?

hes empty inside.
hes miserable.
attaching yourself to money and physical things only gives you short term pleasure, and a long term dependence and addiction. after you normalize to your new thing that you bought, it no longer gives you pleasure as having it has become normal, and you take it for granted, and you go back to feeling empty, and you look for a new thing to buy to fill the void that has presented itself again.

to get rid of the void, you gotta embrace the void. the void is neither good nor bad. its the discrimination against nothingness, and wanting to be something that makes us think that the void feeling within us is a bad thing.
 
His rise was fun to watch. One of the more exciting fighter sin the UFC from about 2013-2016. Since then he's been very tiresome.

Sounds like you just gone done reading a beginner's Buddhism book.

We don't really know how he feels or what's going on inside his head. Speculating about how a guy is feeling seems like a waste of time.
 
Conor was a blip. A flash. Had a nice two-year run, but what has he really done since 2016? Fought twice and got embarrassed by Khabib and beat a wshed-up, never-was in Cerrone.
 
Nah he's exactly the same. Hype over everything, cherry picking, 1 dimensional, shit cardio hack trying to fight midgets.
