At that stage of his Career he was very active and litterally would fight anyone, anywhere.
He fought mendes, Aldo and was booked to fight RDA all in then space of 6/7 months.
He took Nate on short notice, when he could of waited for The Title shot when RDA pulled out. He couldn't even make 170lbs at his biggest coming in about 3 pounds under, fighting Nate who was probably 185-190lbs so was giving up around 20lbs on fight night.
He also rematched him at the same weight, when he could of asked for the rematch to be at 155lbs which would of even the odds significantly. A second loss against Nate Would of been a massive blow. He wasn't scared to take risks, was an exciting fighter and backed up his words.
He made UFC entertaining again. Brought a lot of new fans over. Then challeged one of the all time greats to a fight he has never competed in professionally and held his own.
I was, am and will always be a fan of Conor. My only issue now is that he isn't fighting. UFC isn't as exciting without him and anyone who says otherwise is talking shit. Whether you love or hate him, when he is due to fight even these sherdog boards go crazy.
There seem to be more haters than fans on these boards but in real life his fans out number his haters 100/1.
I think it shows the insecurity of alot off guys on here that they have to hate on anyone succesful. Personally i find inspiration in charismatic, succesful, Talented people and am not insecure in myself so i can acknowledge that.
People hate things they see as a threat, or people they are jealous of.
I watch UFC to be entertained and Conor ia definately entertaining. I just hope he books a fight soon. So we can actually see him fight
