LeBron James comments on Conor's loss - vid

Krouget said:
I don't think he was "derailed", but it did expose/confirm quite a few weaknesses in McGregor, IMO.

Also, it's interesting how after this loss, McGregor fans totally understand context and perspective, but will talk all day long about the 13 seconds it took to defeat Aldo, after he hadn't lost in 10 years.

I actually think you're right, "any given second" is true, in a general sense, but McGregor didn't get caught or anything-- after a strong start where he couldn't finish, things began to go south, he didn't have much of a plan B, Diaz took over, capitalized and finished. What Conor got dragged into was a war, and he clearly wasn't prepared for what happens next, if someone DOES survive his power (after fighting many guys smaller than him for his entire UFC career). This is why it's critical that he actually work his way through a division and acclimate himself properly.

McGregor has demonstrated that he's a thinking fighter, and if he decides to venture to 155, I think he can find success and definitely crack top 10 (depending on the stylistic matchups). But he was very clearly beaten in a more competitive fight than he's used to, and he does have work to do. Realizing this is important to his growth and I'm positive he already understands this, but hopefully his fans do, too.

Yeah, but realize that you posted rationally, most anti-Conors do not share that same perspective. I know the Aldo fight will go different a second time around, I knew that the first fight was an alignment of many factors and not likely to ever happen again in that sequence. Will Conor beat Aldo again? No clue. Hendricks vs Wonderboy, Tate vs Holm, Gus vs Johnson.. we never really know how things will turn out.

When did I make an excuse? Your hate has turned Conor's loss into something that it's not. How often do you see a popular fighter face defeat with a smile and his chest puffed out? That's not a competitive spirit. Clearly you're a neckbeard so my post is useless.

I'm not heartbroken and I idol no man. If you've ever competed you would know that defeat is not a proud moment. If you can't understand that, then like I said, I'm wasting my time. Good on you to respond to all of my points by solely focusing on the term 'neckbeard'.

I think that's a fair stance. I also think most MMA fans appreciate McGregor, in general, but will react to his more vocal fanbase or some of the things he says.

I can be pretty critical of him, but I think he's definitely an exceptional talent with a ton of potential, rivaled by few other fighters with his standing skills. I actually believe he can beat Aldo again, but I think a second encounter would prove more competitive.

Either way, I think this is an important loss for him and he will bounce back.
 
Holy shit shertards are totally extremists, you're either the greatest of all time or a complete lose, I'm sure Conor played it that way in our imagination, he will take a bullet for it but it's not the end of the world, it's not like there are no seconds chances.
 
As the opposite of you haters, Lebron is a true athlete that knows sometime you can lose, even with the better team.

Are you an idiot? Why do you keep asking if I train? Fuck no I never competed in MMA. That's stupid ass fuck, I actually have a job were I don't have to take any physical damage. I competed in jiu jitsu. I train at Jeff Gordons MMA in MD (now called Jeff Gordons infinite concepts). I'm a purple belt and it took me 8 years to get it. I competed at NAGA. You have to compete to get promoted.

And no dumbass, losing is not a proud moment but it's also part of the game in jiu jitsu. The first years being a white belt, all I did was tap....but it taught me something more. Taught me to have respect for anyone I rolled with. Roll with cops, girls, so many different people...everyone respected and you know what that did for me? Gave me respect, through giving it. Makes me feel worthy of victory.

So in essence he's still a choke artist who's 2-4 in the finals?


Lol @ anyone taking what LeChoke says about MMA seriously, the dude is clueless and saw a couple of UFC Conor commercials and became an insta-fan.

Now that Conor was exposed what else is he supposed to say? "Durr I spent months quoting tweets I heard on UFC promos cuz I thought they were cool Derp"

Too much anger with this one. Bless you.
 
Lol at all the bandwagon celebs. Prob didn't know who Connor was 2 years ago.
 
cool vid.. if conor haters were talking to lebron in person about mcgregor they would probably agree to everything he says like the cowards they are
 
TheComebackKid said:
Yeah but that is true for Holly Holm, Chris Weidman, Cain Velasquez, TJ Dillashaw, and others. Yet he's talking about Conor. Why? Partly because of Conor's popularity but also the perception that he is an all time great historic fighter. Remember he was posting McGregor quotes before the fight.

Maybe he is a fan of his, you dont have to only be fans of proven GOATS.

Pretty sure everyone that isn't a female or a hardcore metrosexual bites their nails from time to time. What a weird thing to point out.

Do you think Jordan or Bryant bit their nails while nervously looking up at the box score?

Come on son

I wasn't referring to Connor by the way
