Did anyone foresee Conor turning into THIS?

[TerraRayzing]

I honestly thought Conor was never going to stop at one point. Guy was ready to fight again months after KOing Aldo and was back again months after the Nate loss. When he took the hiatus after the Floyd I thought he was going to less active or maybe even retire but holy shit, I did not see him turning into this. Everything he said during his prime, weakness, inactivity, yelling from the sidelines, is what he is doing right now but even if I'm not a fan anymore, it's sad to see him like this.

Yes.

100%, and I’ve called it since his fight with Khabib.

The writing was on the wall.

 

[nonoob]

Was kinda predictable.

Definitely sad. His meteoric rise was unlike anything ever seen in the history of the sport. Although he was always an eccentric, he was also very philosophical and charismatic early on.

Can't take the hood out the fella

This. It was very predictable. There was nothing in Conor's behavior that suggested he would handle success and fame well. The first time where i absolutely knew he was cooked long term was when his ties to the Dublin mob were exposed. He will have a very sad end.

Fixed that for you

How many people would continue working hard for someone else if they had a multi-million net worth?

 

[Marko Polo]

Conor is no longer relevant on these forums

Floyd? But that maybe a rare exception.

 

[Bret 'The Hitman' Hart]

We all predicted he would become a fat cat and a parody of his former self with the millions and the fame.

Most people coming from a poor background can't deal properly with wealth, McGregor is one of them

His story = the story of thousands and thousands of pro athletes in the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, boxers, etc.

Tom Brady is worth half a billion dollars and he still suited up for the Bucs and gave it his all. As did Kobe. Conor just isn't that guy.

 

[Ares Black]

Yeah he's been visibly struggling with substance abuse for years. He needs to go to rehab.

 

[Mike]

Seems like a lot of people are absolutely corrupted by seeking wealth and fame. Not really shocked Conor isn't an outlier

 

[IDGETKTFO]

I mean he literally said even before the Aldo fight he was going to make a million and retire.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

i don't watch much of MMA or fighters outside of actual fighting, and i said before i don't think Conor is a drug addict. i have to retract that statement, he is definitely a drug addict.

i thought he just liked a bit of weekend warrioring but this dude is straight up a slack jawed out of his mind crack head.

 

[Luthien]

Stuck in the mud

 

[burningspear]

Going mainstream is different.

Nobody can stay on track once you have substance abuse problems.
