Media Why is McGregor still hated in these neck of the woods?

[DebtCollectorMMA]

Less than a year ago in his latest contest he went up against Donald, and displayed pure class, humility, and tremendous respect for his opponent after a bragworthy performance.

Being respectful following a fight (win or lose) was nothing new for Conor, but this time he carried himself with class BEFORE the contest as well. Clearly he is a changed man who was humbled and has learned his lesson, yet the hate persists on Sherdog. Please, with the new year hours away, let's once and for all put an end to the hate towards this man going into 2021.

You can see Conor thought about giving her some more shoulder strikes, but grandma Cerrone would have eaten them.

In honor of Conor I'm drinking Jim Beam tonight instead of that Proper Pisswater.

Assaulting senior citizens isn’t particularly endearing.

 

[Ancient Warrior]

No hatred toward him but he buried himself.

 

[HereticBD]

Every highly successful fighter eventually becomes an overrated bum on Sherdog, after the honeymoon phase is over.

Anderson Silva
GSP
McGregor

Meanwhile, the inconsistent fighters are always one fight away from being the GOAT:

Mark Hunt
Allistar Overeem
Ngannou


There's a ceiling around here, and once you break through it, you're obviously not as good as your record would suggest and are picking easy fights, because you're Dana's boy toy. If you never break through it, you're the uncrowned king who strikes fear into everyone. This place is weird sometimes.

Sherdog will be loving Conor once again if he dusts Dustin. Then they will hate him a month later. Rinse and repeat the cycle.

 

[Perry Willits]

He's hated because he is so good and because he's the most famous fighter in MMA history! He WILL become more famous too!!

 

[mmacrisis]

Because he retired, no he didn't, then he did. He never defended either of his belts. Is a total clown show now and if he could score a fight for big money against Jake Paul (or anyone else) he would, which I can't blame him.

Tired of his crap, tired of his fans crap, tired of Dana's love for him

 

[Memeojima]

We don't like his type around here

 

[Drugstore Cowboy]

I like him no homo. prone to controversies ? yes. does some generous work ? yes. Not perfect, not evil. Game changing character and athlete. One of the best ever

 

[Post 2 Decision]

The bigger you are the more haters you have

And Conor is really easy to dislike already lol

 

[Yep]

It’s racism. White ppl don’t like brash, obnoxious, and arrogant black athletes. Not because they’re brash, obnoxious, and arrogant, but because of the color of their skin. So, it’s racism. Clearly.

I hate him because he broke the law. My brother got a jaywalking ticket. Haven't spoken to him in nearly 20 years since. Got his social media shut down and his business closed.

Law breakers are the worst.

no. It’s because he is an arsehole. Simple.

 

[Normot]
