Conor= Greek tragedy

[leto1776]

at the heart of many Greek tragedies is the lesson about avoiding hubris. The hero does great things, gets cocky, thinking he's greater than he is. That's hubris. The gods then smack the offender back down, often in an ironic or embarrassing way.

Conor started talking about being a god. He said he and Jesus were on good terms because "gods recognize gods." All the gods through mythology heard this, and were angered. Time for punishment.

The form of punishment decided by the gods? The Stockton Slap.

209 what motherfuckers?!?!?!?!?!?

Jutting out a call for the shoppers to make an image of Nate flying down from either heaven or Mt Olympus with an open hand outstretched, and Conor at the bottom.

That shoop with Conor's head on the body of Jesus can now be changed to Conor's head on the body of Icarus.

Karma for eating Red meat. Nate is Vegan so obviously karma was on his side.

Burning wings and all

but did he kill his father and bang his mom?

it's entertainment; not hubris. conor sells ppvs and fans buy tickets to watch his fights. conor is doing what any capitalist minded individual would do--he's selling and promoting his fights so he can earn a living to support himself and his family.

you have no clue what you're talking about. i shouldn't be surprised, idiots like you are in an abundance on sherdog.

Just like with Ronda Rousey all the signs were there for Conor to lose. We now have a new curse, the "Joe Rogan tears" curse

 

[dragonsfly]

''stockton slapped'' is the new trend

I forgot to put that in the OP. Blindness and incest is next. Then again, Ireland is an inbred Ireland, so Dee is probably already a (distant) relative.

You mad. Read some Greek mythology. Joke or not, hype or not, it is hubris in the eyes of the gods.

Too be honest - i think he ditched dee for indo awhile back. In ancient greek culture wasn't it somewhat norm for older men to take younger men as their lovers?

The younger one is known as a catamite. Conor is the UFC execs' favorite Catamite.

Great post. I agree, and at this point, Conor needed this humiliation more than anything. So in that respect, hubris was a gift for him. The octagon is only part of a much greater fight which we will all eventually lose.

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

Much like Ronda he started to believe in his own hype.

This gets my vote for Best Thread Of The Night, and there's been a *lot* of serious candidates.

It's okay if you don't understand. God loves you anyway, even if you don't love yourself

Wow,thank you. Idea came to me out of thin air. I knew I had to post it right away.


C'mon, Shoopers, give me something to put in the op.

Could be. Like you can understand..there is a reason for every single fucking thing. doesnt matter what it is. This crazy paradox seems magical but its not, its real cause and effect that we cannot understand with our current technology, one dimensional-view conditioned society and our human instincts.
