Anyone has had enough of this?
Countless fighters now copy McGregor, such as Colby and others.
Attack people's religion, families ("your kids look inbred", etc), culture.
(Only thing they don't attack yet is race...Because this is the big taboo).
They try to seduce the fighter's wife by sending her DMs (like Jake Paul, another Conor lookalike, tried to do with Ben Askren's wife). Conor McGregor is probably the lowest of the low though, he will try to attack anything and do anything if it somehow can attract attention.
I love this sport and combat sports, but this kind of stuff just makes me vomit. You can create beef without being an utter scumbag. The Bisping/GSP banter is a good example. I watch combat sports to watch high level fighting, not the toxicity of society which is already everywhere, in bars, in the streets, etc. This kind of shit just turns me away from combat sports.
I've also see SOME people here defend this behavior, saying "it's just a gimmick".
So you will rationalise ANYTHING if its justified by money?
I could start an entire argument on the state of the West when it comes to that, but I won't.
IMHO this is all a huge mistake that will ensure that MMA & fighting remains a niche sport.
You think that kids want to see this stuff? Like that "mini Khabib" little girl that idolised Khabib and only did so because he is an honorable fighter? Weirdly enough she disappeared once Khabib jumped into the crowd, sullied his honor by acting like a thug.
I know my thread might be irrelevant to many, but I'm just disappointed by the level of discourse MMA & fighting has gone to. The utter gutter. The GSP era is long over. Remember the likes of GSP, Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida, etc? They were heroes. They pushed the sport upwards. Now we live in the short lived McGregor & Paul brothers era. Slow clap.
IMHO CONOR MCGREGOR (and Dana White who pushed him up) totally fucked the vibe of the sport. And he's getting worse and worse. It will take for this guy to go to jail for the toxicity to disappear, and even then, it will have a lingering effect on the entire sport, like the smell of a dead rat in the kitchen.
EDIT: Thanks for the likes. Happy to see my thread struck a cord with some Sherdoggers!
