He really may be. Watching the khabib fight he was employing good anti-wrestling. He did a lot of little things like attacking khabib's ears and very effective cheating to counter the wrestling. I think he trained that with danisYeah, Danus is going to be a great addition for Conor lol.
You are probably right. If his yes men allow him to see criticism he would freak out and attack anyone who spoke out against him. Then sober up after a massive bump and delete everythingI'm sure he's currently crying over this topic, his face buried in silk sheets.
Yeah, the cheating was the best thing he had going for him.He really may be. Watching the khabib fight he was employing good anti-wrestling. He did a lot of little things like attacking khabib's ears and very effective cheating to counter the wrestling. I think he trained that with danis
He needs Diego SanchezTo be fair to Conor, he seems like a real mental case where he became as great as he did because he was just pulverizing his training partners like Artem. I think he does his best work when he's completely delusional and feels like he can't be beat.
Still if he does return, his drugs and lay off have probably wrecked his body more than anything. He looks slow and better really get an old opponent to even have some competitive match.
I disagree...Marcus brimage was his only gimme fight. Maybe you can argue Brandao and Siver but they were battle tested and tough. Holloway/Poirier/Mendes/Aldo/Alvarez aren't wins that manufactured stars can easily get past. He also even arguably gave Khabib his toughest fight.He's a manufacturered star

Conor's discipline, self belief, and ability to get in the heads of his opponents was the driving force of his success and legacy that even his money/drug fueled actions later on can't take away from.
Conor should hire Diego Sanchez. I'm sure he'd appreciate the work

Bisping made a comment about this, back in the UK in his early days starting out. He said it was difficult to find people who actually took training serious especially when you spend an hour or so to head to the gym and people are there fucking around. Conor with all his wealth if was serious about making a comeback would invest in proper training partners & coaching, not saying his coaches suck, but hell they could be a lot better. Fighters with less has done more with their money in terms of properly using it for their benefit, but i guess for Conor, the comfort of beating up Artem Lobov, instead of the other way around was good for his ego.Irish fight gyms are basically daycare centers. They can be the most irritating places when you want to train seriously.
Daniel Bryan came into my YMCA for pre-event workouts every time they came through SATX/ Austin. He never got noticed and I didn't know who he was until a coworker told me she was a huge fan. He always did tricep pull downs for a half hour and that's about itThis entrance made real waves. Daniel Bryan/Bryan Danielson adopted it as a pro wrestling angle that took over the business for a period.
He didn't embrace boxing properly. With his fighting style he should have focussed on counters not the ol in an out.Early conor = karate type of fighter
