Nate deserves more criticism than Conor.

[RudimarChute]

I know Conor has a belt and Nate doesn’t. Aside from that, Nate technically deserves more criticism than Conor..

Nate hasnt’ fought since the 2nd Conor fight in August 20th, 2016. He basically made a cool million and temporarilly retired. He’s demanding top level pay and basically refusing to fight until he gets it. He hasn’t fought in 18 months.

Conor KO’d Alvarez and became a two division champion only 3 months after the 2nd Nate fight. He then fought Mayweather about 9 months later. He hasn’t fought in 5 months.

I’m not a hater or fanboy of either but the facts is the facts!

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Both are exciting fighters... But I think it all comes down to #DEFEND OR VACATE !!!

 

[jojoRed]

Nate isnt loved, in fact his bullshit twitter posts about not fighting is pissing the mma fans off. Nate is retired until the third bout with Conor and then he'll disappear with 2 losses and millions made fighting Conor.

 

[Arkham's Notorious Geyser]

Defending Conor on Sherdog? Can't have that!

Lol but in all seriousness, you bring up a good point, I said something similar in the P4P thread, how GSP was really the one bothering me, because even though Conor hasn't fought in the Octagon for 2 years, it will still be 8 more times he's fought than GSP since GSP was gone.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Both of em deserve to be ripped on.

Nate for his privileged BS, and McG for NEVER defending his gawt dayum belts.

Nate's a Dork, he knows if he loses to anyone he loses his money fight with Conor, he's desperately clinging to that money fight so it's hilarious to see Lee and Alvarez pull his G card and call him out on his bullshit. He definitely doesn't want no parts of Eddie either, it's still clear in his mind that Nate wanted to fight him before.

Edit: and for those who think Eddie would struggle with taller fighters clearly didn't watch the first round of his fight against Cerrone where he blasted him with Uppercuts and overheads in the clinch with Dirty Boxing. And Eddie as of recent has looked fantastic.

 

[Meathead Jock]

Nope. Nate isn't holding up a belt.

He is a part time entertainer. Conor is screwing up divisions

 

[Arkham's Notorious Geyser]

McG for NEVER defending his gawt dayum belts.

Lol, Gawt dayum, that's a new way to say it, I usually say gyeod dayum.

 

[Flokk]

Nate is a champ or nah?

Nate is a champ who ducks literally every contender or nah?

Nate is a champ who has yet to defend a single belt even once or nah?

Not sure what the fuck is happening here.

 

[Bluntforce420]

Nates fought 23 times in the UFC while earning a record 15 post fight bonuses. Hes earned the right to do whatever he wants

 

[Erocthadon]

Nah. Nate can demand whatever he wants, he's obviously not getting it. He also isn't a champ, so he can do whatever the fuck he wants If the UFC stripped Conor, or he vacated, I wouldn't be a hater and Conor can do whatever the fuck he wants too

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Both have their fair amount of shit. Both have their finer qualities.

Nate is probably more liked because Conor is such a divisive person. Plus he's a zombie and ya know how MMA fans are...

Nobody in the history of MMA has done anything even remotely close to what Conor did financially. 95% of fighters in the UFC would retire if they made $100 million, without a doubt.

 

[Bill Laimbeer]

Nate has held up titles and a division? Conor did both while fighting Nate and taking time off to do coke. Ya real good thread. Hate a guy for just not fighting and let the one responsible for the this new garbage era have a pass!

 

[nanika]

conor may be at fault more than other fighters. and the diaz brothers act like punks even though i am kind a fan.

in the end it is the UFC. Dana, Lorenzo, WME, Ari etc are all to blame. they do not know how to market their sport correctly, or at least to their liking.

so they let the fighters create their own marketing schemes. then they get renegades of all types. Conor is now uncontrollable. the diaz were never controllable. tito and randy were pissed.

we should support the fighters.

and hate on the management.

But Conor doesn’t? Interesting.

MMM k Eddie lmao

 

[SCTwins]

Nate has like 2 careers worth of UFC fights by today's standards.

 

[Frank McEdgar]

Conor hasn't fought in the Octagon for 2 years.

1 year 2 months = 2 years??


Almost 10 months off there pal.

 

[sabretitan]

What's your point....
