Chael Sonnen believes Conor McGregor is aging unnaturally quickly thanks to excessive substance abuse. In fact, he believes McGregor now looks 10 years older than UFC CEO Dana White — which would make him 65 years old.

'They did a side-by-side, it was Conor and Dana,' Sonnen said on Instagram (via MMA Mania). 'I swear to goodness, Conor looked 10 years older than Dana White, and you could see it in the eyes. You could see the booze in the eyelids and the cocaine in the eyeballs, saying "I wanna fight." And then you’ve got a promoter who’s the only one with the legal right on the face of the earth to make it so that you can fight, and that promoter is standing there saying, "We’re not even close, I’m not even taking his calls right now."'



Sonnen seemingly doubts we’ll ever see the Irish star fight again, even as other fighters continue to call him out.

'So when you find that happening but then you find guys jumping up and down in the background saying, "Pick me, choose me!"… how far has your career fallen?' Sonnen continued. “How far would it have to fall? When you sit at home over social media begging for an opportunity from a guy who looks older than the guy next to him [White] that’s got him by a decade and whose eyes are screaming gin and eyelids are screaming cocaine.”

How old is that first picture of Conor? I never liked Chael, the same as for Conor, but in that point I have to agree with him.
Unfortunatly I´ve seen more than one walking this walk and ruining their lifes.
And it shows that even millions on your bank account don´t make you happy enough to live a life without drugs.
It will not end good and we will never see him in a restricted fight again. That´s what I see in his eyes.
 
Sonnen is worthless as an mma analyst or whatever he is. He just tells lies hoping to make a viral clip. This is pretty stupid to put out there while Conor is trying to make a political run in Ireland as well.

Left: Conor McGregor at 37.
Right: George Chuvalo at 73.

You ever notice that permanent facial bloat? That puffiness you see in guys like Chuvalo—it’s basically a roadmap of every war they’ve been through. Years of catching fists to the face builds up scar tissue like sediment, layer after layer, until their cheeks look like they're hiding a pair of chew toys.


Now compare that to Conor. Relatively speaking, the guy barely clocked in at the trauma factory. Chuvalo practically lived in the ring, went toe-to-toe with heavyweight monsters for decades. And yet, somehow, Conor looks like he aged in dog years. These two should look a generation apart—but it's the wrong generation.


My guess? It’s not just Father Time—it’s Uncle Stupid Training Methods. From what I saw in that Malignaggi sparring footage, Conor went full throttle in camp like headgear turns your brain into a crash test dummy. One of those guys who thinks “technical sparring” means trying to concuss your teammates in 16-ounce gloves. Congrats—you trained like it was a street fight and aged like an overripe banana.

Conor abused hormones, alcohol. And Cocaine for at least 5 years now if not much more. That will take its toll
 
Conor certainly doesn't look clean.
 
I mean Sonnen is right on occasion and this might be one of those occasions.

But it begs the question, if Conor makes the ufc money and wants to fight, why isn't he fighting?

I think the answer is in your question.

Does Conor make the UFC money TODAY?

Probably not. It's been 10 fucking years since the Conor show, and the general public has switched channels. Conor is delusional enough to think that he can command the kind of pay he demanded when he fought Aldo, but those days are done.

Conor really was a flash-in-the-pan. Much more than people realize.

Sure, the comeup was dramatic, and the guy seemed larger than life at the time, but he hasn't had a legitimate win since fucking Obama was in the Oval Office. His fame is rooted in losing to better fighters like Mayweather and Khabib, not going on some reign of terror in combat sports like Mike Tyson or Muhammad Ali.

To top it off, you have a heaping dose of substance abuse which not only makes him fragile in the ring, but a liability for pulling out of the fight altogether if he ends up in the ER from mixing his Bolivian flake with the wrong PED.

Too much risk.
 
Idk which Connor he means. I mean if it's Connor McGregor, the Irish man, is he even asking for a fight? That doesn't make sense... Connor isn't asking for fights in UFC, that's just a joke. If you listen to his interviews, he isn't desperate for fights, Connor is used as a scapegoat many times. Idk who that would be. In this case, it doesn't make sense for Connor to be JJ. Jon Jones said he is ready and Dana and Chael both constantly say that Jon Jones is in agreement with whatever date they set the fight to. Chael uses Connor for more than one fighter sometimes, I remember I've seen (or it seemed to be) that he used Connor as reference to Jiri Prochazka sometimes. Other times, to Jon Jones. Other times to Topuria...

But whoever the Connor in this case is, it's sad because Chael is criticizing something that is a problem that the own organization helps to create. The organization sucks all the juice of the fighters so they don't retire when they are still seen as $ ... And they avoid paying them a lot when for example, a huge prospect announces their retirement , like JJ vs Stipe. Dana himself helped to diminish the weigh of the event by making "by himself" a next fight for the winner. So the money JJ and Stipe could get took a big dip all so Dana can keep the fighters there for more time. And the grind, the showering, the fights age a lot.... Something Dana barely went through. So it's funny that Chael criticizes it without assessing the problem in its root from an organization that sucks the life out of its profitable fighters....
 
My theory on the Chandler fight is Conor is so deep in active addiction, he couldn’t stay sober to get through a camp or through USADA tests so they pulled him.

I get he hurt his toe but if that’s all it was, they would have pushed the date. Conor is fully in the depths of alcoholism and cocaine addiction. Any public outing, it’s pretty clear he’s coked out of his mind too. Sad. He’s out of control.
