Conor admits something his stans still dont, "1000% Max became way better after losing to me. He actually became an all time great after."

[ExitLUPin]

When we talk about Conor's resume and how lacking it is compared to the all time greats his stans always bring up Max win. When in reality it was a prospect VS prospect fight in retrospect maybe highest level one ever in MMA. But both raw, unranked and both had big injuries in the fight.

Conor was also FAR closer to his prime than Max was. Max was 21yo, just lost to Bermudez, went to a split with Leonard Garcia of all people who he arguably lost to (LMAO when Leonard is a Mt Rushmore robber) and had 9 career fights. Was fighting pro 3 years. Conor was 25yo, had 15 fights and was already double champ in Cage Warriors. No contest.

Conor recognizes Max was nowhere close to his prime when they fought and got way better after their fight. Time for his stans to accept this reality too and recognize beating 2013 Max isn't a great win.

Ilia mocking Conor's wins while desperately trying to imitate Conor is a lesson in lacking self awareness

Yeah it's pretty sad, but Conor also stole his look from someone else, so it's the gift that keeps on giving.

Max was out of high school six weeks when he fought conman.

 

[MarioLemieux]

Conor doesn't really have that many impressive wins, most overrated fighter ever

highschool max
depleted Dustin who finished him twice after
13 second fluke against a much smaller Aldo and Eddie was also a short armed midget
1-1 with freaking Nate Diaz

his whole existence is based off very few wins and no defences

Admit?
This is a classic “I changed his bum life post”. Just no cuss words.

Only topuria has no charisma and his trashtalk makes him look like a trash human. He can copy conors tattoes all he wants, not going to help him get new fans

He doesn't have a lot of impressive wins, but it's weird how you try to downplay his best wins by saying strange things like "he has short arms" and "he is much smaller" as if those things deserve asterisks.

And Nate Diaz was a title challenger before, he's not some tomato can people make him out to be. Or as people like to use here, "journeyman" for fighters who are clearly not journeymen.

He's a way better fighter at any point though. His striking is crisper and harder than prime Conor and he's a way better grappler plus he actually has a gas tank.

Thats debatable, but i dont have a problem with that opinion

Hi my name is Conor and I am still relevant.

When you outreach your opponents by 5 inches plus because you starved yourself down to a low weight class the wins cease to become as impressive. The very few he has.

Every fighter goes down to their optimal weight class, that is how weight classes work. Connor McGregor is not the only guy cutting weight, to say the least. If he is able to do it better than other fighters, then that is a pro not a con.

Jose Aldo was literally undefeated at FW for 10 years, so obviously size was not a problem for him.

Eddie Alvarez is a career LW and is naturally bigger than McGregor. McGregor is is closer to a small LW than a big one. He's a slim guy.

Conor had monkey level reach especially at FW. When he's fighting other strikers with short arms this is a huge advantage. Plus, the recipe wasn't out on how to beat Conor at this time because his fights were so short nobody knew how bad his tank was.

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

He was just a kid. Became an Mma legend. And remained a good guy through it all. If you don’t hespekt Max that reflekt poorly on you, TBH.

 

[Fergelmince]

I thought this was a generally accepted conclusion. McGregor fan or not.

Yeah but you can do what you're doing with every fighter in the history of mma.

Max is overrated and I can just use your logic to shit on every win.

Gaethje? Dude uses his face as defense

Old ass KZ? He's average. Got a couple fluke wins but destroyed against most good fighters.

Yair? Lay and pray over a guy destroyed by little bw Frankie Edgar.

Aldo? Well he lost to Conor who is overrated so obviously no good

Ortega? Lol again uses his face to block punches. 1 dimensional grappler with shit wrestling. Beat up and losing nearly every ufc fight he won.

Fun games, my guy

 

[burningspear]

admits lol

 

[Marko Polo]

I don’t know why but all posts about Conor just irritate me. Maybe it’s the fact that he hates the fan base or that he’s been irrelevant as a fighter for 5 years. People still talk about him non stop, and it’s never even news worthy anymore. He’s just yapping and people don’t realise it. It’s crazy that here on a forum that’s supposed to be more pure, where you have moderators sending stuff to the wasteland etc, that they leave this crap up every single day. When I come on the forum and the top most active post is this garbage, honestly I don’t how the user base isn’t dwindling. The forum is suffering, and it’s brought home when creative or funny threads are immediately wastelanded for not being relevant enough, yet this stuff is deemed ok? Like videos of Conor in a club or something get left up. He’s not even a fighter no more and I’ve never felt a disconnect between myself and my fellow fight fan, but who are these people dying to hear about Conor, still. Let it go.

Among sane rational fans def is but not a lot of Conor stans surprisingly
