Before he went fully "Conor" (2018- ) were any of you fans???

Possibly, he became the most famous UFC fighter in UFC history due to the number of people who watched him in and outside the ring.

Those people are called "fans."
 
Sure. There was a time when he was a relatively down to earth, hungry intelligent kid who was starching everyone. If he stayed on the path he was on up to the Eddie fight, he would have had a great career and been far more respected today. But then he wouldn't be billionaire or whatever it is.

edit* - He actually would've become extremely wealthy no matter what. Maybe not to the level he is now but to a level where it wouldn't have mattered
 
Of course, he was very talented, had exciting fights, was very charismatic and had real 'star' swagger. Every fight he had quickly became event television, something you get from a fighter maybe once or twice a generation. He was the best thing to happen to the UFC for many years, unfortunately the money and fame (and drink and drugs) went to his head but it would have been quite difficult not to be a fan during that early period

His featherweight run was winning me a lot of money, so yes.
Everyone liked him at a certain point, and he was beating proper competition including Max and Dustin, in exciting fashion. The Floyd fight ruined him.

Yeah, he was undefeated in the press conferences but that loss stole his thunder.
 
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter

Was hard not to be.

He was a loud, brash, entertaining as hell speaker who backed everything he said up in extremely entertaining fights and he was finishing guys left and right. Conor was the absolute bomb, there is a huge reason he was the biggest ever star to come out of the UFC.
 
Never cared for any version of Conor.

I consider his "era" as the most skippable in MMA, so it was refreshing when Kabob hopped in and ended it.

Basically what I was going to say.
 
i definately was a fan of his fighting style. entertaining striker that went for the kill.
but he lost me when he started to run his mout too much. when he stated 'I'm the new breed, out with the old. These flat footed muay thay style cant deal with my movement bla bla bla'

Then and there I knew his head was getting too big. It was more than just trash talk to sell a fight. He said it in cage interview after a vicotry. I think he litereally believed that shit and to me it sounded completely retarded. Muay Thai is one of tthe oldest and deadliest striking arts with added standing grappling/clinching. Their movement is delicate and intricate, not better or worse than other styles. Definately not worse. Conor was good but bought too much into his self created hype. The pride. The fall was inevitable with a mindset like that

It only got worse after that. Selling fights by insulting nations/family/religion. And im not even mentioning his run ins with the law and all that. It was all downhill for me after he made the muay thai remark and how muich better he was.
