Conor cares about legacy - Dustin doesn't

[dogsdonutsdragons]

Here we go, not this momo again.

Conor cares about legacy? Hence why he defended his title so much.

He keeps his mouth shut about the Paul's, cause he does not want to take beating from them.

MookGregor has no legacy, he done nothing to create a legacy. All he has done is become the richest MMA fighter, by talking trash.

hes fighting because hes a fighter.
he has made so much and continues to make so much money outside of fighting. hes brand was established and he hit the ground running. after beating aldo he never had to fight again in his life and his kids kids would be set. but he did. after beating diaz the second time and then alverez he never needed to fight again but hes a fighter. and i think that deserves respect. hes a little nuts and obsessive and delusional but thats what made him great in the first place. he risks a lot continuing to fight. stands to lose a lot of money and further hurt his public perception. but he keeps fighting so i wont talk the same kind of shit on him but i will say hes not the same as he was when he was on his winning streak at 155 and his crazy has hindered his game by a lot but a guy like him could have called it quits long ago.

Conor is the most popular fighter ever by far. Thats a much bigger accomblishment than any number of Title defenses.

why do we still talk about a slightly above average ko artist with no ground game in 2021

Because you value the idea of defending a title to legacy doesn't mean he does.

So that's not really a point.

I think it's quite obvious from Conor's previous behaviour or becoming FW champ - then immediately looking to the LW title... then recently flirting more with WW that he seeks new challenges and that defending could feel like looking backwards to him / not saying it is going backwards / just commenting on his behaviour.

So yes he could still care about legacy and not-defending-the-belt-not-be-a-thing to him.

Conor has always been concerned with his image and perception. I don't think that is the same as being concerned with his legacy. Conor didn't defend his belts and didn't always go after the best fight available. Conor could have done a lot for his legacy by defending his belt at 145, beat aldo a second time, skipped the Diaz fights and instead fought a ranked challenger for the belt. The Nate diaz fights, the cowboy fight, the Mayweather fight and campaigning for a diego sanchez fight, this isn't the kind of thing a guy does when they want to be known as the best to ever do it. Conor likes money and clout. He likes to be able to pick his fights.

This ^^^^^ is 100% correct. I can't wait for the pearl-clutching and fainting couches needed for Conor's butthurt momos when Dustin knocks him the fuck out.

Nobody gets worked up over Conor. One of his nuthuggers made a thread on a discussion forum. Therefore, we are discussing. But, you being one of his delusional fans, try to deflect all the accurate criticisms towards him. You’re literally the only one who is worked up.

Keep up that bravado, dude. You aren’t fooling anybody.

This dork is definitely worked up over Conor.

Conor

This fucking shitbird again? Why aren't you disallowed from making threads?

Not like you'll even be back in this one.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

With half a billion in the bank Conor doesn't need to fight anymore but here he is, still entertaining us, still hungry for titles and looking to create more history.

Conor turned down numerous movie roles (even generously passed one on to Bisping) to focus on MMA. Conor turned down lucrative offers from the WWE to focus on MMA. Conor has ignored Jake Paul and the massive payday that would bring to focus on MMA.

Dustin literally turned down a title shot for a money fight. So Conor haters, you can quit yapping about him caring only about money and how Dustin is the hungrier more noble hero with MMA in his heart.

If you can’t see the massive hole in this analysis I don’t know what to tell you.

 

[Iroh]

All Conor cares about is money, and his ego. He can’t handle it when somebody gets the best of him. That’s why any time he loses he wants an instant rematch. But, has only given one in his life. And that came 6 years later. Because his ego told him he won the first fight, so the second should be no problem.

As for Dustin. He obviously went for the payday over the belt. Personally I thought he should fight for the belt. But, it’s his life, and he’s had a long career. He will make millions from the trilogy. So, I can’t judge him too harshly. He’s probably pretty close to retirement and wants to make sure his family is taken care of. So, whatever.

You know legacy is all about the ego.

 

[Slapchoppin]

Conor seems like he's god awful with money

athletes always think their endorsements and sponsors will last forever but they never do

so its probably about the money

 

[D'z]

Wasn't TS exposed yesterday? Why are so many regs replying to this garbage?

 

[mmacrisis]

TS: you make all sorts of statements but zero proof. Have you seen Conor's bank statements? Selling his piss whiskey for a ton of cash doesn't mean he gets it all to himself. Movie rolls and what not who cares. Conor is a mouth piece who more often than not can't back up all the talk.

I hope Dustin KO's him again so we can be rid of McTapper for good.

Shut the Fuck Up

^ and this illustrates my point exactly..

I used to be a fan but the rape accusations, hitting old men and general assholeness makes it hard.. he changed after aldo.. i think that's when he stopped respecting the sport and everything else..

I just think it's funny when people sound like they're personally angry at the guy.. seems a bit silly to me.. people don't know the names of most dictators but they are very upset with conor mcgregor..

 

[Paynebringer]

If Conor really cared about legacy he would've at least defended just one of his 2 titles now he'll have the legacy of being Conor 2.0, 2 titles and 0 defended how's that for a fighting legacy...

 

[613]

The nate diaz fight and rematch were something that really helped his legacy

Oh fuck right off! In no way does losing embarrassingly to Nate fucking Diaz and then winning the rematch by a controversial MD help Conors legacy.

 

[AP_RESURRECTION]

The best part about these threads are the retards who still get worked up over conor..

Troll thread that is successful

 

[FreddieRoachsVoice]

Legacy is a completely bs idea especially in a sport as young and as fickle as mma. "Fans" (AKA the current cycle in this revolving door of fad eras of this sport) already act like Anderson, Fedor, GSP and Aldo were overrated products of their time and they are all not far removed from massive runs on top.

Any fighter who is fighting for fan approval and not strictly for money/self respect is a complete mark. MMA is a horrible sport to enjoy a successful post-run career (burial by the main promotion, insubstantial pay, negative health effects, etc).

 

[Deathbycalfkick]

Lmao by fighting 3 times in the last 4 years…..

And losing spectacularly in two of them

Or as soon as someone that's been dominating loses he was never good. It's probably because a lot of MMA fans are retarded too
