About Connor McGregor (yes, seriously)

[Thug Rose]

conor is the least interesting fighter to me. he is an incomplete fighter with bad takedowns, weak clinch and ground game. also too much annoying shit outside the ring. i hope he gets raped if he goes to prison.

[EYEKICKFACES]

I hate the dude. For all he represents, and for becoming famous/rich for being all that is wrong in this world, amd making his horde of fanatics think what he does is "cool".

But I don't fault him for not fighting.
I mean, he broke bank with FLoyd.
There's no more money or upside to take risks to his brand right now.

He stays on the news, and his horde of braindead gullibles gobble it up every time he hints coming back.
To them, he is always "about to come back". Every time they salivate and are as happy as if he did come back.

So now that he shamefully forfeited both his belts, he will probably come back against the neophyte Floyd in MMA and/or the journeyman Nate.
Both winnable fights for the most money without the danger of being humiliated.

Not that, ladies and gentleman, is what we call one triggered bitch!

 

[SOAzmayesh]

No. His nut huggers are more impressed with his money. They are NOT fight fans. And they don’t want to see him fight. Because being the front running goofs they are. They are 100% sure he gets his ass kicked by any high level contender at LW. And smoked by any decent WW.

He said himself that he beats on midgets. Well no shit Sherlock.

khabib had to be stopped by a doctor for health reasons cos of cutting too much weight.
dc had to hang off a towel.
max came in over 180 for a 155 fight.

they all fight below their weight, get over it.

as for the money thing, as you have clearly signafied via bringing it up immediately -
i think its more of a haters are jealous than fans are impressed.

lifes a lot better when you enjoy and not hate, try it.

 

[Deleted member 465145]

Yes, 100%. He isn't a bad fighter and I think he has become (with Dana's help) very bad for the sport in some ways but frankly he is a talent I would like to see challenge himself more. Frankly the only thing about Conor that absolutely disgusts me and needs to go away from MMA forever are his fans.

 

[TheChance]

If the NYSAC had any balls his next fight should be with them over getting his licence pulled

 

[ticho123]

I’ve seen him fight enough. I won’t deny his skill for obvious reasons. I’m just not interested in his fights anymore. I used to be. Hungry Conor was great.

Or is it that you don't want to be interested because of the financial implications. Don't get me wrong I HATE the whoremongering that is taking place with current day MMA. Compare it to other major sports and it's a fucking laughing stock. But compare it to other MMA orgs and UFC is still in a strong position as far as sports-style rankings/match making etc goes. And either way you want to slice it Conor is a top fighter with wins against Aldo, Mendes, Holloway, Alvarez, Diaz

 

[The Professional]

Yes.


Good fighter, fan friendly style and until the last year or two took risky fights head-on. Lots of intriguing matchups for Conor at LW now which we probably won't ever see and that's a damned shame.

yup. I think people forget he took on contender after contender to get his shot at Aldo, including a late replacement in Chad Mendes, Holloway, and finishing Poirier handily. (not to mention Alvarez at LW)

when he got beat by Diaz on short notice, he demanded a rematch at WW. that fight had a lot on the line in terms of his reputation and hype and Conor knew it.

don't know if he's the same fighter after the last couple of years. but yes, main reason i was pissed at the bus incident was the fact that it would delay any possibility in a fight with Khabib, or anyone for that matter

 

[JosephTessaro]

The bus is driven by money. The UFC and Conor were on the May/Mac bus because of the one fight huge payday for all.

Now the UFC is fucked because Conor is demanding millions per fight, and because of that we do not get to see him as much as we did prior to the May/Mac shit show.

Economics 101. Conor tasted a HUGE payday and probably won't return unless his demands are met...however with the potential upcoming lawsuits from fighters injured and the UFC for ruining a PPV card, we may see him sooner than later. Let's just hope the UFC is smart this time and uses a "law suit" advantage over Conor. Yeah, money buys lawyers, but Conor may simply be fucked and lose 1/2 is fortune.

Talented yes, a case of money going to someone's head yes and yes, he definitely isn't the brightest bulb in the box.

 

[Brandon Taylor]

I really enjoy his fights. If he fought regularly and took the matches people want to see I would be a fan. I just feel like after he beat Aldo he spent his career avoiding unfavorable matches.

 

[Shaddows]

Not that, ladies and gentleman, is what we call one triggered bitch!

none at all.
While I dislike him, he is irrelevant for my life.

The herd of retards who like him are annoying, but like a fly, you swat them with common sense and they leave.

Fake MMA fan.

 

[Shaddows]

Fake MMA fan.

yes, they are.
they are the ones who are happy with the lack of respect in Martial Arts.
They are the ones who celebrate him not fighting.
they are the ones who are OK with champions not defending their belt.

So yes, you are right.
Conor fans are not MMA fans. As soon as he leaves, so they will.

I’m happy for what he’s doing as far as getting paid. Whatever it takes to get these gladiators more money I’m all for except for ridiculous inactivity, tying up divisions to fuck off in other weight classes and other combat sports. If he fought as regularly as he used to I wouldn’t have anything to bitch about. All the other shit outside of fighting I don’t really care too much about. I simply don’t get excited about a guy who freezes titles and divisions to grow his brand. Great fighter but I’m not interested anymore.

Jesus you guys are truly delusional, Conor caused no long lasting injury to anyone involved and everyone involved is on the low end of the spectrum pay wise. If there are even law suits Conor doesn't pay more than 3-5m in damages.

But everything you're talking about is aside from fighting. I don't give a shit how much money MacGregor makes. This thread is about how he would fare actually fighting. Your post is just some basic bitch whinign about hime Conor has hurt your feelings or something.

I’m not interested because he doesn’t fight anymore. As I said, if he was active Id probably be a fan. Are you retarded? I’m not trying to rude by any means it’s a serious question. If you are, that’s cool. Are you retarded?

We are talking about hypothetical fights and you're saying that you're not interested because he doesn't fight, which is totally unintersting. There are a 1000 threads about Conor not fighting for 500 days, if you don't have anything new to add - go join one of those.

 

[HHJ]

He’s a mediocre fighter who was given favorable matchups and had some luck at the right time. He’s the most overrated fighter of all time

Nahhhh def not mediocre...but can he sustain the pandemonium forever,can he survive against the likes of tony and khabib? This we must know.

 

[PEDS Help me Post]

This guy has a Fedor avatar. Tells you all you need to know about overrated.

Think you're confusing a GOAT with a DUCK.
