July 10th do or die for McGregor?

The aura around McGregor dropped off when Diaz first choked him out. Khabib running through him was just insult to injury.


Dustin and Justin got destroyed even worse. No one cares about that Khabib loss because Conor should’ve lost to him.

years and years off from mma and comes back to fight the champ. He should’ve lost
 
As an elite world class fighter? yes

When Conor loses it's not like he's dropping decisions, his style is such that he's going to get ran over once he lets up. So assuming Dustin finishes him brutally once again, yea Conor won't be able to perform at the championship level ever again. Two bad finishes in the span of 6 months? At the age of 32 going on 33?

By the time he gets his head space back into MMA, he'll be going on 34, with the hounds closing in.

Unless he gets an easy matchup or somehow finishes Dustin with a punch behind the ear or something. It's not crazy to think Conor might never win a UFC fight ever again, especially if he's intent on fighting the best guys in the division.
 
Yes July is not only a must win for Conor if he wants to be a serious contender. He will still be a big draw but wpuld just fight fun fights like maybe Nate an Mas.

Disagree...... the aura dimmed for certain but returned when he won lightweight title.

The Dustin loss is what killed his aura if he wins in July by brutal KO it can return but doubtful as Distin ate Conors best shot.
 
Connor avenged his loss against Diaz, and lost to someone who retired. Dustin had beat max, Justin and Eddie. He was the number 1 guy. 2 losses to him simply mean Connor is below #1. He could still be the #2 guy in the division and quite possibly a top 5. He has a legitimate chance of beating any other lightweight who manages to get the belt if he loses to Dustin. Just not likely to beat Dustin in a 3rd match.
 
Jake Paul by KO first round.
 
It certainly ruins his idea of being an MMA champ ever again
Lots of big money, big hype fights left for him though. Fights that casuals and contards would prefer over a title.
Eg :
  • Nate 3
  • Mas
    • Nick Diaz
Then the obvious boxing shitshows like the Paul Bros, Mayweather 2, Magnallini
