Maybe you guys should start caring about good fighters instead of hypejobs.
beating aldo and alvarez is not a hypejob. he stomped their asses.

The reason Conor is still "left" is because he's a good fighter. Try to keep up.beating aldo and alvarez is not a hypejob. he stomped their asses.
Well, Ronda can't draw if she can't fight, and it looks like this is it for her.I think people overrate how much losses affect drawing power.
Yes, those were excuses, doesn't erase Aldo's dominance of the division for the previous years and the fact that other than Anderson, Aldo was the most deserving of a rematch regardless of how the fight ended
And you can bet your ass that if Aldo/Conor happened at 189 and Conor lost, the ACL would've been the first thing out of his mouth
I never said it didn't and I agree. Yeah, he was most deserving of a rematch, but don't forget he was concussed - which they say 6 months is the minimal length of time to recover from it. Conor wasn't going to wait around for Aldo to recover.
I disagree. Conor didn't hold any animosity towards Aldo - except maybe over the drug testing debacle, but he didn't pull out. Same with Diaz when he lost - he acknowledged his mistakes and not everyone folds when he lands. People over look a lot of what Conor says; things like 'anything can happen in there' and 'one punch or mistake can end a fight' He's being fighting for a long time and has seen it all. That's why the perceived notion that he'd have a meltdown if he lost in the UFC like Rousey did, didn't happen.
Every fighter after a loss will feel they can do better and if they done X, Y and Z they might have won. But that seems to be how a lot of fighters are wired.
lol @ TS talking about "burying" someone with shit posts on sherdog
meanwhile Conor gonna leverage this to get equity stakes
BURIED
He fought Nate x2, the 2nd fight was supposed to be at 200, the same event Aldo fought Edgar for the interim title for the division that Mcgregor was champ. How can you justify that? Because he lost to Diaz and wanted to fight him again? Was that not the exact situation Aldo was in with him but with a championship in the equation?
And the first words out of Mcgregor's mouth after his loss to Diaz was about weight. He made excuses for a loss when he had a full camp to train "for no specific opponent" because he trains for everything. You may eat up that shit, but I don't
staph infection and chest infectionSorry, I meant for the LW belt but however, I'd like to see him fight Aldo again, too. Though if you're in Conor's position and you're offered the chance to win a second belt, you'd be crazy not to take it. But even though Alvarez was the champion - he was the one with more to gain just from getting that fight. Regardless of whether you don't like or like Conor, that's just the way it is. It's a bit odd that people don't get riled up when champions call him out.
I sincerely doubt Dana and co. give a flying fuck about history being made. Money and exposure is their main agenda. What's in it for them if Conor wins two belts? The only person or people that's relevant to is Conor and his team. Well, rewind back to 189 when he was two weeks out from fighting Aldo and he got injured - and by all accounts, Conor had damaged his knee again on the world tour. If he pulled out of that fight, he's losing the UFC and himself millions. Some fighters in a similar situation to Conor can/will pull out and wait for their title shot. When it was time to put up or shut up, he took on the replacement fight. If he lost that, things could have being very different.
The same with 196 - dos Anjos pulled out injured and same scenario; Conor could have sat out and waited. And again, after the fight, there was talk of Conor having staph during his camp and a chest infection the week of the fight. Plus, he agreed to fight at 170 which gave Diaz ample time to cut less weight. I think you get my point by now. I'm not trying to blow smoke up Conor's arse, but he plays the game of risk and reward - and all the while having a lot more to lose than other fighters who are just as active as him and go in to fights with something wrong with them - which is a given in MMA.
I could turn it on the flip side and mention how Diaz with a full camp was going to crush him according to a lot of fans and analysts or that once Alvarez got him in the clinch he'd grind him out. In the name of sport did Conor deserve the LW title shot? No. That was his first time fighting at LW in the UFC. But again; I'm not going to pretend I don't understand why that fight was made. This narrative that he gets handed everything on a plate for him is nonsense.
ronda's loss was too much for youColin is the chosen one.
Tree belts soon!

taph infection and chest infection
holy shit dude, stop making excuses for mcgregor. and stop making shit up
he thought nate would be an easy fight, turns out he was completely wrong and got humiliated in the process. it's the same process when aldo pulled out, there was frankie and chad, frankie was 100% in fight shape and chad was doing a hunting reality show, who did he fight? same thing with nate, thought it was going to be an easy fight, but...
he's a tool. I don't trust a single thing coming out of his mouthWhy would I make that up? Listen to Kavanagh on the Florian and Anik show.
You accuse me of making shit up, yet are insinuating that Conor knew Edgar was 100% in shape and Mendes was out shooting a hunting programme so chose the latter. I await your proof. And please don't refrain from saying you heard it from Edgar or his manager.
he's a tool. I don't trust a single thing coming out of his mouth
unless he brings up medical exams and things like that, I rather not believe. it's really what literally everyone does when they lose
so we're in a stalemate. no proof from kavanagh, no proof from frankie. but really, frankie said he was training and chad was at a hunting show. maybe frankie wasn't 100%, but definitely was at a better shape than chad, and that is just a fact
