This is a reoccurring theme on here that fighter's aren't allowed to lose. If a fighter loses he's "exposed" I've been around on this forum long enough to witness all the toxicity and absurd point of views following great fighters losses.

Fedor taps -Exposed Loses to Bigfoot -Exposed/Sucks
Anderson lost -Exposed
GSP close fight with hendricks -Exposed/Paper champ
Rousey loses to Holm - Omg worst shit storm this forum's ever seen. Still makes me nauseas at the fans.
Now Conor loses to nate - Conor exposed! SGB Exposed! Ido Exposed.

This is a hard game. There are many styles and arts within the game. Fighters lose. They're allowed to. If a fighter loses doesn't mean they were never good or they're exposed or whatever you take it to believe. Fedor is still a great fighter/legend. Same with Andy, GSP, Conor, Rousey, etc(I know there's many more just used the most popular examples)

I'll get flamed for this. Prob even get called a Conor fan(even tho I am but called diaz) but seriously stop with all the nonsense these are top tier fighters at the pinnacle of their craft. A loss is a loss. Other sports teams lose all the time it's part of sports in general.
 
The margin for error in MMA is the thinnest out of any sport, and Conor let Nate string together some great combinations which ultimately led to a panic shot which led to a sub. As a Conor fan I'm excited to see where this loss takes him and how he responds to it training-wise. Every great has suffered a setback in the octagon (minus Jon Jones lets be real here..but his time will come as well).. The scum of the earth congregate on these forums after a big loss due to either their hatred for the fighter or their hatred for the "nut-huggers" of the fighter. Losing is a normal part of MMA and it is how Conor comes back from this loss that will define the rest of his career. I hope to see them meet again at 155 sometime.
 
Not when they talk out of their arse and make themselves out to be invincible they can't and according to Conor this isn't a sport..


 
The Conor that was built up by these obsessive fans was incapable of losing.
 
People are stupid. There was a ridiculous thread last night about which hype train was gonna be derailed next and everyone was basically shitting on any fighter they hated. There were suggestions that Jon Jones was next, like if he loses to Cormier it will prove that Jones' dominance was indeed just hype.

Oh and TS, if you're gonna call it, prove it..

It's been going on forever in the fight game. Hero, but as soon as they are beaten, the fans, true to form, call them bums. Not sure you can change this behavior.
