Conor's statement: historic amounts of crow being ingested

[Jer713]

That post still seems fake

Such a prima donna

He is shook

youre beyond retarded TS. anything we embrace in life can be overdone and become noxious. your logic shows how naive and short sighted you are. I enjoy going on a run but if i had to run 10 miles 2x per day for weeks straight you think it would be enjoyable? do i need to continue to spell this out for you?

 

[CPH]

I agree with you to some level but I can't blame him for cracking under the pressure.

True. But he could at least show some humility in this moment. Instead, he is still calling the rest of the roster 'bums' and being bitter against Nate, who stepped in on 10 days notice, did his job and gave Conor a hug.

 

[Jin Akutsu]

Let the man train. As I said in other threads in the buildup to the Aldo fight he was getting tired of the promotion.

Head Clean Off

A loss can make you look hard at yourself everyday. He did screw himself gloating about media being part of the job and how he is the best at it. Now he wants to shut up and train like he shouldve been doing the whole time. Who the hell didnt see this coming?? I

 

[SKSer45]

Lol what a joke. Dude built his entire image on promoting and talking shit. Now that he got made, he's "focusing" on training. Talk about a diva...I hope Diaz beats his ass even worse.

 

[Vergilius]

He talked all kinds of shit about fighters who didn't embrace the promotional side of the job. Now he's tapping out like a punk..

The irony here is that his uncontrollable greed is what got him into this.

He wanted the ivory suits, lambos, playboy lifestyle so badly, he, together with Dana, concocted this new standard for running a hype train: 3 city world tours, countless tv show appearances and interviews, etc, etc.... Now he's playing the victim and asking for special treatment.

Apparently, his full camp in preparation for RDA wasn't enough to deal with a 10-day-camp Nate... LOL

Nate please crush that princess one more time.

Actually, he's just promoted the hell out of this fight over the last 24 hours with a tweet and a facebook post without having to fly anywhere or talk to anybody. Job done, let him focus on his training. I know I want to kick some ass in the dojo tonight after reading what he wrote.

There is cartloads of bullshit being posted on this forum about Conor being a victim to the UFC's promotional machine. "Conor standing up to the UFC"

I'm making an important counter-point: Conor built this golden cage himself. Crying about it now isn't heroic. It's incredibly pathetic.

While this is true, he came from the bottom. Most fighters have zero say with the UFC, in order to climb that mountain and become a star, you have to work within the system. I think the point is he felt that he'd achieved enough to where he had some say in how he approached his fights.

As to the whole turning his back on promoting, I don't think he is. He says its specifically for this fight, coming from a loss. Obviously he feels like he's become too invested in promoting and forgotten how to be a fighter, and whose to say he's wrong?

Conor did like 10 press conferences for the first time he was fighting for the belt. The other fighter pull out, Mendes is on. Conor still has to do more media obligations, and it's not little, it's a lot when you're this big. So, for one fight, big part of his time went to that.

...and he loved every second of it.

Now he doesn't like all the press, because he can't call himself God and demean his opponent, without getting that Diaz L thrown in his face. The guy is so full of shit, it's spilling out of his ears.

How dare a fighter want to train for a fight instead of promoting and not train.

You didn't even got my post. This was the first time Conor ever did this. He has been doing that since then and has lot of time lost with it. So it's of course much better for him to go back to training now. You can't say this guy was in the best shape he has been in his last fights. There is a reason he used to look good at weigh ins before all this.

Then, he has to do the same for his next fight. Lots of time doing something that will not improve him as a fighter.

Then, the first time happens again. Conor did it for the RDA, he pulled out, do it again but for Nate.

There is no way you can compare him to anyone in this part. Not even Ronda who also said that she don't like doing it.

Big part of Conor time went to this. This can ruin your preparation and cut. Conor used to look fine in weigh ins, but since he has been doing this he has looked terrible.

He is right.

So this is another time when a Conor fan doesn't use logic. Conor has fought in the UFC 8 times, he's 7-1 coming off of a loss. The only thing that got him this noteriety is his promoting. People can say all day that the media tours and stuff aren't what makes a difference but to the UFC do you think they want to mess with a formula that got them 4 million PPV buys in 8 months? No you wouldn't be cool with that. The signed Conor to what ever amount of money he's getting for this fight that he will lose based on the idea and I'm sure it's in his contract, that he would be available for these media obligations. Conor's pulling a Tito and trying to have built in excuses for when he loses. If he won't do what the fight contract says he has to then the UFC should have the option to pull him and make him defend his FW title next.

yes how dare him. Should ask this guy how its done. Promote fights, talk shit, win fights, make money, and still be a douche bag.

 

[Tallblackfat]

Ive never known of a more turncoat person ,every last thing he called anyone out on he has now done tenfold himself.

Humble in defeat my arse, lil Napoleon megalomaniac motherfucker

He beat Aldo in 13 seconds. Should've been 10?

Not in the best shape? LOL. He's looked exactly the same in all of his fights. He just happened to lose the last one, and it sure as fuck wasn't because of too much press.

It puzzles me how anyone can buy this victim story. Again: he pushed for everything he is complaining about now. It's good that he's now seeing the importance of being an athlete first but this is what all these 'bums' have been doing all along. Some introspection and humility are in order here.

I hear drinking shots on a beach in cabo and rolling off a couch after some beers the night prior can also hurt fight preparation.

Love how Conor is the victim with training when 2 of his last 3 opponents hardly did shit in training.

Funny cause Conor game planned against both and trained harder than both...but he's the victim.

Maybe take the touch butt routine off the schedule Conor?

[Fizzee Water]

It's sad, pathetic, hypocritical.

The guy used the UFC promotional machine to make himself a megastar and now that he's famous he just wants to be able to sit back and train. It doesn't work like that. Sorry buddy, promotion IS your job. Actors promote their films, authors promote their books, and fighters promote their fights.

He's just scared as fuck because Nate whooped his ass and he wants a perfect camp to beat him. He's scared, homie.
