It was crazy how much people were doubting Conor2 things- " christmas" and " easiest fight" will be cringeworthy words that will haunt Eddie for the rest of his days.
#2) let's REALLY evaluate Eddie's run in UFC and I have nothing against Alvarez but he's only looked " real good " in ONE fight and that, ironically, was the RDA title fight. This speaks volumes and the fact that Las Vegas opened Conor in the -170 favorite range because these are intelligent people and are paying attention .I add this disclaimer that, again, Vegas isnt always right but I'm sure they made a small fortune on that one. After all these " professional s" picked Eddie as money in the bank, all the sheep ran to window to get there Alvarez + 145 ticket. Oh well.
Khabib a different animal so I really don't know on this one. I can see either winning and I'm really interested to see the size difference on fight night------- the one thing I'll really be paying attention to on that first Saturday in October.
Back to back weeks- Bellator s biggest fight in promotions history then the next week - the 2 best 155ers go in maybe UFC s biggest dust up in history.
Can't wait as a fight fan.
Fucking awesome.Looks like Dern....
I'm not a big gaejthe guy and I just thought Eddie struggled with guys that were currently regressing in their careers ...and in extremely close fights (again- ironically outside his title win)- nothing to do with Conor except he made it look easy (ridiculously easy) which kind of validates my point on Eddie.I liked Conor in that fight because of what I said and on fight night , the 145er moving up seemed liked the bigger guy (or same size)- plus Conor was 175 favorite and all casinos stood pat on it..This is why I'm really interested to see them when (or if) they touch gloves.It was crazy how much people were doubting Conor
Seperate of that,
Strictly looking at Alvarez with nothing to do with Conor, I thought Alvarez looked good in all his UFC wins.
Shut down Pettis. Came back from early adversity against Melendes to win the 2nd and dominate the last round.
Alvarez even dominated the first round in his loss to Cowboy.
And of course Alvarez wrecked prime RDA.
Alvarez is def a tremendous tremendous win for Conor.
People forget Conor beat Alvarez straight off of Alvarez beating RDA
And even after Conor beat him, he went and smashed Gathje instantly after (Alvarez lost to an opponent who Conor also smashed)
Conor is simply on another level
In all honesty, you can do the same to Khabib. Should've lost to Tibua. Rocked by Johnson whos now a FW. Looked bad vs the #11 ranked Iaquinta etc.
I am honestly shocked Khabib is a favorite over Conor...just like how I was shocked at how Aldo was the favorite over Conor
I don't see how Khabib gets past Conor's footwork, range control and counter punching...and even if Khabib manages to clinch Conor, that's only half the battle, as Conor has a great inside game too with knees/elbows/body punching etc
And even if Khabib takes Conor down, Khabib is not a finisher from top position. Every new round starts back up standing
I feel that Conor vs Khabib is the male version of Holm vs Rousey
Skill for skill Conor is vastly superior and his strengths match up well against Khabib's strengths/patterns/flaws etc
I think people will be shocked and surprised
Khabib is definitely amazing, but yet again people are sleeping on Coner and fail.yo realise that Conor is simply on another level

Every one doubting the king again
"they're all celebrating my demise and saying I'm done and this, it certainly lit a fire under my belly. Every single person doubted me. Every single fighter doubted me. Doubt me now."
Time for King McGoat to remind the world once again, and finally shut the haters up
Enjoy the HL: )
I think he’s implying that he also lost a decision to Nate as well. I believe the judges got the decision correct. Conor scored the better damage throughout the fight.
1. I'm a fan and appreciate everything he brings to the table in and outside the ringWhy are you infatuated with a man you'll never know on a personal level? Where does your obsession for McNugget come from? Have you no life?
Serious questions...
Same excuse everytimeConor is a FW who moved up on short notice to take on a completely different fighter at LW, then wound up fighting Nate Diaz at welterweight twice and won one out of those two fights. Nate is a terrible matchup for Conor and he fought him short notice anyway.
Well said
He's trying to save face by moving the goal posts from what he originally said and then saying you actually agreed with him.
And a lot of people repeat those same talking points too. So there is a lot of ignorance about odds
But even someone like me who has a basic understanding knew enough to know that's not the case lol
You came in and straight set the record straight lol ! Layed down the hammer lol
ur a casual

I better not catch you ever being a fan of a fighter or else I will too call you obsessed and claim you have no life lol; )
2. "Do you have no life?"....I can't complain; ) Its not in me to brag, but I will just say that I'm very very well off financially. Of course money isn't everything. I also have Jesus in my heart which is cause to always be happy. Having said that, we as humans can never be perfect and every day is a new day for me to grow/improve. What more can I say. Life is good

Before every big Conor fight, look how many fighters come out and say Conor is going to lose bad etc
I can post compilations of ever big Conor fight where the majority all claimed Conor was going to get "exposed" etc
Only haters like you are trying to rewrite history
The only people who ever give Conor his due are bookies because bookies don't place the lines based on emotion
They have to objectively evaluate Conor's next level skill set, and they come to the realization of just how next level Conor is
What you proved, is simply that there's a reason WHY Conor haters can never put their money where their mouth is
There's a reason why when it comes time to put your money on the line, Conor haters go silent
They just like to talk empty shit.
Let's not also ignore that on sherdog Conor is always going to get exposed and is always treated as some 9-1 underdog no matter who he's facing
If and when Conor makes easy work of Khabib, there will be meltdowns...many will be eating crow....And it's always been like that every Conor fight...
There's always tons of fighters and forum nerds alike who Conor proves dead wrong
Only one trying to rewrite history is you
Bookies have to be objective so thats why they have to give Conor his due
There's a reason why, when money is on the line, Conor is the actual favorite regardless of what jealous fighters and bitter forum nerds spew
