Conor never asked for easy fights or money fights like these other posers

[Paolo Delutis]

What Tyrone and some of these other guys dont get is that Conor did exactly the opposite of what they are doing.

Aldo was a killer. He wasnt an easy fight or a money fight. Nobody bought aldo ppv's.

Mendes wasnt a draw and conor fought him on 2 weeks notice.

RDA was a killer at the time at 155 and nobody bought his ppv's.

Nate Diaz never sold ppvs and COnor fought him on 2 weeks notice.

Conor always went after the toughest guys and slept them.

COnor didnt chase the money fight. He went after killers and Conor became the money fight.

FLoyds ppv before conor barely sold 400k buys. Floyd went after the money fight which was Conor.

Conor made money but again boxing floyd was a tough fight. Certainly not easy.

Case after case Conor went after the toughest fights and for the most part beat their ass.

That's the blueprint.

Not the crying like a baby blueprint that Tyrone and some of these other guys are doing. calling out easy fights and all this other nonsense.

These guys cant even hold Conors Jock Strap.

Heres the problem with your logic

If hes this stud althete thats taking on only the best and wants the hardest fights then..

A) why didnt he rematch an 10 year undefeated champion in aldo but rematched diaz at weight he doesnt compete at normally?.. very suspect

B) why not defend your belts agaisnt the challengers in your division they are ranked 1 thru 15 , as the toughest yet he didnt defend any belt ever...

C) why would anyone , whos a current champion in there sport entertain the idea of fighting a former champion in another sport whos 15 plus years older and was retired for 2 years when challenged?..


Ill tell you why, because Mcgregor is a really a coward and whore in fighters clothing..he made sure nothing was really at risk and chased only money not true competition..he shit on the sport that made him and is a disgrace to MMA.. when he fought nate he did so at 170lbs , so in the event he lost he could always just blame the weight.. which he did both fights..when he beat aldo go watch the replay of the finish and mcgregors reaction in the post in cage interview he litterally knows he almost got koed himself..and admits the guy is fast you can see him breathing a sigh of relief why? Becuase he knows he got lucky and thats when he decided he wont ever step into the cage with aldo again..then he gets a title shot agaisnt alvarez coming off a lose and no wins in the ufcs 155 division still waiting for an explaination on that one..dont try and make this guy something hes not..he came , he conned, and left..

 

[gunlok]

Can we have this one, please?

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

Tyson defend multiple times against stone cold killers

sure if Conan could defend 2-3 times atleast against Killers then I would be quiet

Yes but the problem is he didn't want to lol. Asking for easy fights and appearing scared to fight the top contenders isn't a great way to market yourself.

 

[Babaganoosh]

He is Not the best fighter at LW. He is very beatable but he will avoid the guys that could beat him.

 

[subhuman trash]

Uh he’s been ducking the best guys for years. What happened to him at 155? He has zero title defenses in total in MMA. Failed thread.

 

[Johnsonville]

I'm not a fan at all but you are right. Although that reputation is wearing off quickly

Nice! Another Conor thread

 

[HomeRun916]

fighting a wrestler on 2 weeks notice when preparing for a striker when It was thought that his kryptonite would be a strong wrestler, definitely not an easy fight. Same fight where he looked like skeletor and had one of the scariest weigh ins I've ever seen and reportedly tore his acl again during camp. This was also after a ridiculously extensive promotional world tour, having Conor pull out too would've been devastating..which Is probably a big reason he showed up despite such circumstances. Still, he showed up and managed to pull It out. With the way It seemed to go down, It's hard for me not to respect that one.

Fighting Nate on a few weeks notice at welterweight when preparing for a completely different style opponent, again..not an easy fight.

fighting opponents on short notice is a huge risk for all parties involved, that's what a lot of people don't really understand.

There's a reason why Jon Jones of all people refused to fight Chael sonnen on short notice.

Fighting a completely different style opponent on short notice is a huge risk. Saying you have nothing to lose is absolutely ridiculous. In these cases, It Is actually the challenger who has nothing to lose.

Taking that 2nd nate fight again at 170 pounds and allowing Nate to come In as a decent sized welterweight, again a huge risk..Conor being a guy who'd been fighting at 145 pounds throughout his UFC career.

Whether you love or hate Conor, this is the reality but I think some are only Interested In validating their own narrative / confirmation bias.

You need to take a break. Think about stuff that isn’t related to Conor.

 

[HomeRun916]

Ahh, pretty sure the only one's that will simply remember Conor for never defending a title will be this guy:



Other than the minority of mentally ill professional Conor haters that dwell in the basement of Sherdog, I'm pretty sure he will be remembered as one of the greatest and most exciting talents MMA has ever seen, a revolutionary mixed martial artist and possibly the greatest businessman that the fight game has ever seen.


Oh yah, and this:

And this:

LOL. Love it.

 

[PeterGriffin]

First, learn what a misquote is.

Second, make sure you know the difference between singularity and plurality.

Then, once you've done both of those things, you'll be in a position to start breaking it down DX-style if that's what suits you.

How fucking stoned are you Bubba???

 

[Baba Ghanoush]

Mayweather is obviously not an easy fight, but it is a money fight. But even then, Conor was the A-side in terms of drawing power.

Conor was the A-side in the Mayweather fight lmao!? There’s a reason that Floyd by all estimations made at least twice as much as McGregor. Nuthuggers are fucking amazing with the shit they can convince themselvhes with.

Do you live in a fucking bubble or is MMA the only sport you follow? Most sports media outlets didn’t even have a clue who McGregor was. This is fact.

 

[acannxr]

Case after case Conor went after the toughest fights and for the most part beat their ass.

Wrong.

Conor was protected by Dana during his rise through the rankings; he was booked against non-wrestlers and the wrestlers that did exist in the division were conveniently booked against other opponents. The fact that the only wrestler he faced was on short notice is not a coincidence, especially when you look at what said wrestler did before gassing out.

Conor fought low risk stylistic matchups with full camps and high risk stylistic matchups only on short camps. Conor had the entire promotional backing of the UFC and just happened to be Irish (and given how many faux-Irish-Americans there are, he got huge PPV numbers). There's a reason Conor doesn't want to defend any title he wins: the UFC can't protect champions with booking.

Safe booking and promotional backing can make almost any fighter a star, just look at how Ngannou was booked when he started facing fighters in the top ten.

 

[kwd1253]

Nate don’t sell lol.. Why you think he fight Nate? He thought Nate would be easy fight. nate stand up a just bleed fighter, don’t go to the ground unless his opponent goes to the ground. Nate has big fan base can sell and he trash talk to promote the fight. He wouldn’t give mendes rematch with full camp. Conor almost lost that fight until mendes gassed. Fighter say that not about the money are full of shit. Conor always been about his money. if he was not he would fight for free and fight just for his pride.

 

[TheBulletwithWings]

Nate was the popular option in the polls. It was a cool and interesting fight (to fight fans). Aldo and Frankie turned down the fight.

UFC is about making money. That shouldn't be news to you. Your game of rankings doesn't matter. Conor wanted to become champ champ.

You don't really believe there'd be no haters, do you? There were haters before the man even won a UFC title.

You’re probably right about the haters.
I myself love watching Conor fight but didn’t buy into the Champ Champ nonsense.

 

[Cat Biscuits]

And this is why Conor's fans are among the dumbest around.

Conor didn't go for the killers, he went for the belt, because he knew that was the key to him being famous.

He went for Aldo, because Aldo was champ.

He fought Mendes for a belt. The interim belt.

He wanted RDA because he was the champ at the time, not because he was a killer.

He fought Diaz because he thought it was an easy fight for him, and because he wanted to keep making money.

Same with the rematch, he wanted another big payday by rematching Diaz.

He then wanted Eddie, not because he was a killer, but because Eddie held the belt..

He wanted Floyd because it was a big payday, not because he wanted a challenge.

And now that he's the champ, he no longer wants to fight killers. He doens't want to fight anyone.

Conor chases fame, not glory. But you fans are too dumb to realize this. That's why he's sitting there now, not wanting to fight anyone because he doesn't want to risk his fame anymore. A true champion would keep risking it to prove he's still the best. Conor won't, because he needs a big payday and an easy fight that is winnable for him. What a pussy.

 

[Shaddows]

Wtf are you on about? How was Cerrone a more dangerous opponent? A guy known to have a weakness for precise boxers? Also I never called him a hero, thats on you.

He's not obliged to take the toughest possible match-up at two weeks notice. Nobody is giving shit to Tony Ferguson for not fighting MJ on short notice, yet Conor is expected to pick the most dangerous guy possible in two weeks notice. Pleaseeee.

First of all, this is a thread to praise Conor for taking the hardest match up... which is what I am disputing and what you are trying to justify why it did NOT happen.

So it seems you agree with my point.


Bottom line: Conor did NOT take the hardest match up. He took the one he perceived being an easy fight precisely because he would have a lot to gain (money) and nothing much to lose (since this excuse of taking last minute replacement is obviously good... point in case, it is the one you are using).

 

[MescalineDreams]

You need to take a break. Think about stuff that isn’t related to Conor.

I don't give a shit about anyone.

I see blatant holes In peoples logic / mentality and I expose them. Whether It's Conor or anyone else, It's really that simple. Done the same thing for Fedor, BJ Penn, Bruce lee and countless others. people believe a lot of crazy shit In general, they're extremely biased or emotion filled In their analysis and I have a low tolerance for stupidity, that's all It really comes down to. Conor just happens to attract more extremists than others and has for a long time.

 

[bootsy]

Defend or vacate.

 

[Johnny_Knuckles]

It’s hilarious seeing how upset some people are with Conor. The dude rolled in, made a load of p and can now kick back, enjoy life and effectively pick and choose his fights.

Keep crying cos a fighter has managed to get themselves in to a position where they can’t\won’t be pressured by promoters and whiny just bleeders

or the more logical conclusion Is that he wants to be paid In accordance to what he feels hes worth, similar to how high level boxers / mayweather have been paid for a long time. It's no secret that the UFC has fucked its fighters In that sense and what Conor's asking for Is something that the UFC has never given to any other fighter In terms of percentages. Relatively common amongst boxers though. That's why things like the Ali act exist to prevent promoters / organizations from pocketing most of the profits for themselves and protect the fighters. Conor just came off one of the most lucrative fights of all time, he isn't gonna come back and fight for what he was making before. He wants to be paid similarly to how Floyd was paid with showtime and quite honestly, at this stage of his fame and success, he deserves It. He's easily the biggest star In combat sports at the moment.

The Issue with that Is It's obviously a lengthy negotiation process on both ends. It has nothing to do with being afraid, everything to do with money and business.

On a side note,

Tony matches up terribly against Conor. People trying to argue that he's afraid of him are ridiculous. A welterweight sized version of DIaz was a tougher stylistic opponent. Not to mention 20 pounds bigger.

Khabib Is the fight to make. Again, that's a tough fight for both guys..where both guys have their way to win the fight. Modern striker vs grappler.

I would imagine the UFC / Conor Is expecting Khabib to beat Tony and then making that fight for September when Conor Is saying he'll return, giving time for the contract negotiations to play out.
