I'm huge Conor fan but it embarrasses me that my fellow Conor fans try to spin it as "the fighter that makes the most money" is the best instead of "the fighter that beats the best competition."
We are not their accountants, we get no cut of their purses, we do not have a stake in their holdings. CM Punk got way more than Mickey Gall to get humiliated, likewise Conor got way more than Nate to get humiliated.
We are fight fans, the only thing that should matter to us is their performances in the octagon and sadly Conor may have the 2 most unimpressive performances back to back of any fighter currently in the UFC.
I'm a huge Conor fan but Nate stole his soul. And no amount of money can buy that back.
