Is Conor McGregor a fighting legend?

brainwash said:
He is a pioneer of trash talking. Like real witty, real-time trash talking, not the lame premeditated kind Chael Sonnen does. Sure Conor sometimes goes on the script, but he is remarkable off the cuff too. "I can rest these nuts on your forhead".

He made the featherweight division from obscure and ignored to relevant. Face it, noone gave a crap about Jose Aldo and Chad Mendes excluding the marks on this forum.

He revitalized Nate Diaz's career.

He is the only one to outsell BROOCKKKKK!!! LESSNARRR!!!

The dude is the biggest star in UFC history. If he is not a fookin legend, then noone is a legend.

How is he a figihting legend because he talks? That would make him a trash talking legend. He's got 0 title defenses.

He hasn't outsold Lesnar. Lesnar still has the mma ppv record. Lesnar still has more total buys.

Naw, as he continues to fight in his more natural weight class and losses that huge weight advantage you will see how average he is.
 
Well, one thing you can say for him is that he managed to build the worst fan base of all time
 
These threads are obvious trolls, and yet, people eat them up.
 
Considering he had beaten 2 top 10 fighters. No he's not a fighting legend.
 
He's legendary when it comes to promoting himself. But fighting? Not even close yet.

His groundbreaking work in blocking punches with his face and defending chokes with his neck alone make him a legend. He even showed that you don't need to be in good enough shape to go two rounds before gassing out completely. He's a true pioneer.
 
Nah. Stole the act from Tyson Fury and crossed the line with his arrogant p.o.s personality . Stop comparing him to Ali, Ali never had to put someone's wife and kids into his trash talking neither crossed every line of respect as midget beater does. He is popular because if his image + marketing. They took the best an MMA fighter could offer to impress the gullible majority of white neckbeards UFC casual fans and knew they would want to connect with his image.

If Conor was black you can bet he wouldn't sell shit and would be hated. Also selling doesn't enter the ring, it can't punch, kick or defend guard pass and RNC's. He is the "most popular" fighter of this generation since this generation of fans is creation of the immediatism of today and the big need for new role models everyday. They twist his arrogance and shit talking into "confidence" and other stupid shit so his braindead virgin fans don't feel ashamed in enjoying it. His fans are the same, EXACT SAME as any of these millions of Justin Bieber fans. Brainwashed, they love him, reality is not a matter for them. they'll do anything to put their lil boy on top even if he doesn't deserve. Lethal combination.

McGregor : Fake, product of marketing and match making and massive excuses from him, his fans and the UFC as well. Loss one fight, had to create buzz with retiring, fighting Floyd and other shit to avoid damaging his image and keep fooling people like TS.
