Rumored Do you believe Conor's face turn?

[superpunch]

Conor spend years being the ultimate heel. He grew his hair out with a huge beard and just didn't give a fuck.

"I'd like to apologize FOR NOTHING!"

That was a young Conor though. But he seems to have matured with his age. He's now being a face. He has zen. And he seems relaxed and content with life.

"I am one with the universe.. and soon you will be one with my FIST!"

The shaved head. The zen. The relaxation. I believe it. He's a new man now, and we're going to see him fight a new kind of fight.

 

[Bubzeh]

Yes. He’s done a Tyson Fury. You can only remain a heel / the bad guy for so long in your career without looking stupid or cancelled.

 

[Brit_Brawler]

Nah, he just got some making up to do after slapping the cock out to that girl.

Hell NO!!! But he's doing a great job just as he did as an asshole. I don't call him Con-Man for nothing.

People mature and change over time. Conor's obviously not the same guy at 32 than he was at 26 when he was a young hungry up and comer in the fight game.

It's definitely opponent related too. His last two opponents (Cowboy and Dustin) are complete class acts who have earned Conor's respect. It's hard to talk shit to those guys.

I think the whole heel character comes with an invisibility aspect....and we all know that went down the drain with the quickness when he got owned by Khabib.

i can actually get behind this version, it’s much more authentic and way less of an act. I don’t feel like I’m watching WWF wrassling anymore

 

[NotDana]

Face turn? When was he ever heel lol, he just didn’t take shit from anyone

 

[bubbleboyjones]

Yes. He’s done a Tyson Fury. You can only remain a heel / the bad guy for so long in your career without looking stupid or cancelled.

Yep. thats why Macho Man had to turn baby face

 

[Kha'bless]

A chav with money, trying to be nice so people forget about his recent 'mishaps', rinse and repeat.

 

[HNIC215]

Face turn???

 

[MrPsychoticKane]

Conor sounds very familiar now

 

[tripleo]

just wait till he win the fight, he will be back to his old self in no time!

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

Ehh I'm mixed about it, but not really.

I believe he is more mature as a person now since he has children. And he seems like a good father. He needs to mind his appearance more since he is a business man now, not some cocky asshole who can fight.

But I would not classify him as a good guy/face. He's making taunts at Khabib, yes maybe to sell the fight and convince him to come back, but he is very inconsiderate of Khabib's father passing and Khabibs wish to retire and promises made. If you are willing to stoop that low then you know that the other guy is in your head rent free, and you show that you are a bit of a scumbag. On top of that he still gets hit by controversies left and right, whether he is guilty or not idk, but he puts himself in those situations. The crimes he has been guilty of, he got out pretty much scott free (dolly incident, pushing/slapping that ref at an outside organization etc, hitting old man).

Lol I mean, another sexual assault case just surfaced so we'll see about this face turn.

 

[surgeyou1]

Don't think it's any sort of turn. Just getting older, more mature, having kids. Accomplished his main goals already.

Doesn't need the same type of drama and hype to build fights anymore either. Already an established superstar. I don't think he's going to manufacture it anymore. Doesn't mean he's not going to shit talk back.

 

[Y2Khaos]

Face turn???

In pro wrestling the good guy characters are called "faces" and the bad guy characters are called "heels". A face turn is when a heel changes their act and starts acting nice.

 

[Yagadot]

People have too much material on him for him to shit talk too much now. The new persona will crack completely to pieces if he loses another fight. It will be brutal. Worse than the Mayweather/Khabib collapse.

 

[BtSports]

100% airbrush detected !! ribs <Lmaoo>

 

[Kwic]

Maybe he is Buddha himself.

 

[Carrotman23]

The logical assumption is it's a face turn to have good PR and not damage his whiskey brand and other future business endeavors . Plus the way he lost to Khabib totally under cutted his invisible persona which is a must if your going to be the "Villain" if you will. That's why he had to avenge the Diaz loss immediately . All of his public appearances/interviews seem very scripted and when you have the kind of money and opportunities that McGregor does you definitely have to mold your image for the press . I'm not gonna say someone is a rube for buying into it but your definitely a little gullible or work in media yourself if you believe he's still not a sociopath .
