Meh. None of that matters.You’re going to reply talking about PPV numbers aren’t you.
That doesn’t matter, the sport was a lot smaller back when Anderson Silva was fighting, and even then he’s a none native speaker who never bothered to trash talk. McGregor selling lots of tickets because he has a cheeky Irish accent and doesn’t mind disrespecting his opponents doesn’t make him any more valid or exciting, it just makes him more appealing to the casual.
Not completely related but Anderson is a far better fighter than McGregor ever was. Anderson never quit despite getting wrestle fucked for 4 rounds by Chael. McGregor rolled over and offered Nate his cheeks after 1 minute of grappling. Sure it’s different styles and Anderson was preparing for that approach, but McGregor’s capacity for quitting is far greater than Silva’s regardless. He mentally folds because he’s a front runner and when he doesn’t fold like in Nate 2 he has to be coming off the back of a brutal humiliating loss, he’s not resilient and defiant by default.
It’s just about the FEELING.
Anderson felt like my dad
Conor felt like an extension of me
Conor never made me emotional. Only excited or angry
Anderson has made me laugh ,cry. Move.
It’s wild how he’s changed my life
