Connor's Wikipedia

[Alcibiades007]

"He is widely regarded as one of the most celebrated sports figures of the 21th century and one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, often compared to Muhammad Ali."

What do you guys think of this description? Wiki are supposed to be perfectly neutral and never unsoundly hype a fighter no matter his popularity. I can see arguments for both sides:

Pro: First fighter in UFC history to hold titles in two weight divisions simultaneously. Fastest victory in UFC title fight history against a top 10 p4p ATG.

Against: Never defended his titles. Tapped out 4 times.

Thoughts?!?

Hes goat regardless of all the losses

Who wrote that entry? A car salesman?

While none of it is fabricated, the way he puts it is misleading as hell.

Conor was compared to ali exclusively in the shit talking department for example.

It kinda implies he's the GOAT.

Outside of popularity and antics I don't get the Ali reference and it's still a pretty big ? Mark about whether or not he's one of the greatest .no title defenses and has been beaten , and looked bad in those defeats .. too early to say that IMO..wining titles isn't the only thing that makes you great it how you act as champion that matters too

Sounds like a fanboy got a hold of the wiki edit tab

Yeah, I also get that feeling. It's enough for 15yr olds to buy his Tshirts and ride his crotch

The guy above must be updating his wiki

lol

Imagine comparing the most iconic Sports star ever to that midget.

Ali was all heart and he stood for his beliefs no matter the cost. Conor has no beliefs other than making money and has no balls.

The only things they have in common, they play away from home often and have big mouths (though ali's was funny and original)

I see no problem with that Wiki entry. I think it's only fair to say that Muhammad Ali is right up there with Conor when it comes to being an iconic athlete - cool that he's getting some recognition.

A shame though that Ali isn't alive to see his name mentioned alongside Conor's.

Great job TS

Got my TS licence 2 days ago. It's my first thread in the UFC forum...

Solid top 10 fighter with a huge personality that was over hyped and promoted very well like ronda rousey, and also like ronda is great in one skill set only. Both took the UFC to new levels in terms of entertainment and both deserve props and respect for that. Please don't disrespect ali by mentioning him in the same sentence tho.

I agree
