Conor cares about legacy - Dustin doesn't

[FIghtxIQ]

If you go by the stength of their resume's Dustin already has a better legacy by a long shot.

Conor accomplished more technically. Dustin is still trying to be an official champion. If he beats Conor and challenges for the belt, he has a great chance of being the next champion. But until then you can't compare with Conor's actual accomplishments in mma/UFC. Dustin chose to fight Conor instead of fighting for the belt. So right now he's more focused on the money fight compared to the title fight.

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.

There is nothing wrong with being gay.
But when you keep it a secret while living in a completely liberal environment, then you have a problem.
Embrace yourself, TS.
You can fanboi crush over Conor, but remember he is a married man, and being a home-wrecker is frowned upon.

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

Yup. Combination of that and the way the UFC promotes fights. The current guy is always "the best", the next card is always the biggest, and anything in the past is trash. I get why they do it... but it is self defeating and probably a huge reason why the fan base of mma has such a high turnover because there is nothing to keep them emotionally invested long-term.

While other major sports have a great sense of history, the UFC erases nearly all of their fighters from the past which is crazy considering how young the sport is. Many modern fans probably don't even know who Randy Couture is which is a complete joke

Conor does care about legacy, he wants to go out on top. He really doesn't need to fight and hasn't needed to in a very long time. He made more money from his business ventures compared to his fight purses. Only problem I've seen with him in his recent fights is his hunger isn't there like it was before. Just different intensity in his training compared to before, he doesn't seem to have the same drive as before. He seems less aggressive once the comfort from the riches set in and him being Conor the family man. He doesn't have the same vibe/aura around him anymore. Could be confidence issues from his losses as well.

Conor is a gross rapey bitch. That's why MAGAts love him so much.

Come on here, everyone at a high level cares about legacy. They just have different opinions on what constitutes a great one.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

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

And how many times have you been banned after he gets his ass kicked, and you flip your lid? What a clown.

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

I don't give a fuck what anyone says, all these guys care about legacy on some level

It really wouldn't matter whether or not Conor cared about his legacy- in order to have one, you have to beat top fighters, which he has shown he cannot do except at the lower weight class. In other words, you must have the ability to actually have a legacy before the idea of caring about it even becomes relevant.

Conor will be remembered as increasing fight popularity for a brief period of time due to his ability to get attention through smack talk and hooliganism. If you want to call that a legacy, so be it.

Rousey actually will have a bigger legacy, because even though she won't be remembered as a great fighter perfprmance-wise, she smacked talked, beat the lesser fighters of the time, and in doing so, popularized WMMA to the masses. Conor can't really say anything like that.

It actually isn't. He won over casuals and nonfans (both of which are far more numerous than actual fans) with his WWE-type hyping; that's not much of a legacy really.

 

[BobblyStruggles]

If he somehow beat Dustin and Olives, I doubt he'd defend the belts imo.
Dude will probably fight Diaz again at 170 and call it quits.

6.2/10 not a bad effort at all. You took some time it looks like thinking about this one

Conor is a meme.

UFC was sold for over 4 billion mainly thanks to Conor who was the most talked about athlete in the whole world at the time.
You dont think stuff like fighters pay went up alot for everyone after he made MMA that much more popular?
Conor winning and being the face of combat sports is great for everyone not just him. He has been by far the most talked about fighter since his debut and still is.
