Has your opinion of Conor change?

[JustOnce]

In a way that is similar to the aftermath of Ronda's head kick ktfo loss, there are of course lot of people ripping into Conor, and I can't deny that conor may have had it coming.

Ronda's hype was disgusting, and her fans seemed to have disappeared like some amageadon happened and they all died and got wiped out afterwards, which was kinda funny to me, I suppose. It is like that, in a way, though there seems to be more of Conor's fans left over, I guess.

I don't really know exactly what factors from that fight would make someone to change their opinion on Conor justly, as Conor outboxed Nate thoroughly, before getting caught with the one two. I could go on and on, and someone could point to their fightmetric stats, but who really cares about those in real life? Just as irrelevant as those made up stats and rankings that they one day decided was cool to post on tv screen.

I would also disagree with criticisms thrown towards Conor's tapping to that choke, which I thought was pretty sinked in tight. It wouldn't have suprised if Conor was out on his feet before that, if he was that desparate to try for a takedown, and nothing wrong with tapping to a choke that's tight and non escapable, nor is there any honorable to getting chocked out and going unconscious. Even Fedor tapped when he knew it was in.

I don't think Conor broke, at all. I feel that Chael broke and quit against Rashad, just like Rumble did against Cormier. But that wasn't quitting.

Has it changed your opinion on Conor or is it just Conor's haters gloating in the fall of a fighter that was on the quick rise?

Cloner bullied smaller guys. Cloner got bullied by a guy who weighed the same. Then quit. Poor Cloner.

 

[MartiniSIDe]

He showed some weakness but he's still a great fighter and people will tune in for his fights. I know I will and never been a fan of Conor.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Nah, although I've never been a ball-gargler, I still think McG is a really fun personality and fighter.

He is taking the MMA fight game to another level in terms of promotion and excitement.

Can't hate on the dude overall, and I think he still will make a ton of noise in the lighter division.

my opinion has changed drastically.

after all that midget talk, true warfare weight classes, and etc... i thought he was awesome.

well now he is saying the opposite

Disagree. Nate looked bigger to me, and likely is a bigger of the two.

I don't think he looked undersized against Rory either, but it's been a while back. Nate was succesful pinning Conor against the cage for a bit, and those Stokcton brothers tend to do that against smaller fighters I guess, like Nick did against BJ Penn as well.

And I do not believe Conor quit, that choke was tight and Nate is a legit bjj blackbelt against a stunned or possibly severely disoriented opponent.

 

[Reason]

The same.

 

[crewman]

His standup is amazing thats for sure, he was lighting Diaz's face up! Who else messed up Diaz's face that bad? No one.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

No. I'm still a fan and he's still a great fighter.

 

[12ga.]

A little. I knew his was not a complete/well rounded fighter and would "get caught" eventually. But what I didnt know he can't handle adversity and wants to quit when things not going his way. In an even matchup best to bet against him.

BTW he quit with the takedown. The choke was premeditated. He wanted it.

Eddie Bravo spoke on Conor's BJJ in this clip of Rogan's podcast

He makes a point. There's Nate/Nick BJJ, and there's everybody else's. Plus Conor was hurt, etc...

 

[sidecheckkick]

Nope always thought he was a 1 dimensional fighter who was going to lose to WW Nate Diaz.

 

[Bas Rutten #1]

Nope....still a Very exciting fighter

 

[nintey]

Mine has, I hated his hype and fans. I always knew he had a high risk high reward style and wasn't an invincible god so I was relieved to see him lose. But you have to, havvvve to respect that he took this fight, and the fight vs Mendes. He's an exciting fighter bringing more eyes to the sport, he handled his loss well.
Yeah the trash talking act made him "deserve this." But it's not comparable to Ronda who is a legit asshole. Conor talks trash to hype fights but was always respectful after, same with the Diaz bros, Chael and basically everyone else who talks trash in this sport.
He takes risks, he fights often, he finishes often. Like him or hate him you're talking about him so you can't deny you want to see him fight.

 

[cburm]

i liked conor but know i dont care for him not because he lost but because everything he preached is out the window know he cant knockout a guy because hes taller??? and has a chin and he wants to say that hes bigger than he was there both 170 for one and for two conner gaining wieght on short notice destroyed what ever cardio he didnt even prolly have to begin with even worse and it was his downfall but he doesnt see that just full of excuses in my eyes tired of seeing poeple buy into this guy still look at anderson silva went to 205 and knocked out forrest griffen who has a chin and brawls .. i gues hes a bigger guy by your mctapper standards

 

[leatherf4ce]

Who else called him for a fight during vacation, giving him a week's notice? No one.

 

[MMAfanboy4life]

Conor's a fighter who attitude and ambition is incredibly refreshing in a day and age where fighters tip toe their way around the rankings and competition. Very much looking forward to his return to FW.

Dude you talk shit about Conor every thread, give up the hate you look pathetic spending your life on a forum to talk shit about someone more successful than you. As for Conor no opinion has changed, never thought he was pound for pound best but a dam good fighter and he still showed it vs Diaz, Diaz is a bad style matchup for him and both guys earned respect at the end of the fight, as for his fans and haters they all just look super dumb and can't stand either side.
