I've wanted Conor to lose for as long as he's been in the UFC, and for all the reasons you'd expect: he was arrogant, disrespectful of his UFC elders, and of course because of his fans, but now that he's lost and his fans are back on planet earth, I can really admire what he's been able to do. He's changed the game, become it's #1 star and it's most highly paid athlete. All the top fighters are talking about him, imitating him or want to fight him. Sure he's eating some of his words now but he's laughing all the way to the bank, and I believe he's still the guy fans wants to see most. And the fact is, he's still the FW champ and one of the top p4p guys in the org. I respect what he's accomplished in a short time and hope he comes back to fight soon and often, and I may be rooting for him in his next fight for the first time. I think if he trains with Diaz bros or another top camp he can be a champ or top contender for a long time. I like how he handles defeat, much better than any fighter I can think of at the moment, and I think he's teachable and wants to improve and come back better than ever. Come back soon Conor, we'll be waiting and watching.
