Conor use to ONLY be well-respected...

[Bob Gray]

He knowingly sacrificed ubiquitous adoration for universal interest and an exponentially greater payday.

Fan or not, everybody watches him and that was his goal.

 

[Drake]

I think his disrespectful, asshole behavior made many people dislike him.

He earned it off of Poirier. He took Siver to stay busy. I don't understand how people can be this blind when it comes to a fighter.

Let us compare runs to a FW title throughout the UFC's history shall we?

Nice to see someone just state some facts, clearly shows Conor title shot was more justified than many others.

something people desperately try to ignore. People forget Mendes was ranked #1 contender at the time and considered a worst matchup for conor than Aldo.
