Poirier has zero personality.

[Heraclitus]

How many other guys could fight McGregor twice, be days away from a 3rd, & still not be a household name?

True.

Everything about the way he talks is awkward. He says he's an introvert, but I think he's just dull. Even now he makes comments about wanting to "fly below the radar". It's ridiculous. Then these guys turn around and complain that the UFC arent paying them enough.

I agree, Dustin Poirier is awkward to watch. However, he appears to be in authentically cool person.

Dedicated husband, family man. Puts in the work to be a top shelf mixed martial artist. In the past few years, he's beaten Alvarez, Pettis, Holloway, Gaethje, Hooker, and now Conor.

He has the best resume in the LW division, behind Khabib.

Even if/when he beats McGregor again, it will barely raise his stock. He still wont be able to draw flys on his own. I've never known anything like it.

Not everybody can be Muhammad Ali. Even Conor can't be Muhammad Ali. (Or, if we stick to MMA, Khabib.)

Reason being, Muhammad Ali was a genuinely good dude, funny, and truly confident. Ali also delivered when it mattered. In the same fashion, Khabib is a genuinely likable dude, truly confident. Khabib also never fails to deliver, no matter what the stakes.

By contrast, Conor McGregor is a trashy punk. He's not really funny, he's not really cool, and he's not really good in his heart (either in or out of the ring). Again, Conor McGregor is basically a punk.

While Dustin Poirier may not have a "Hollywood persona," and least he's a genuinely good guy.

I don't think anyone in the universe believes Conor McGregor is "a genuinely good guy."

The truth is, Conor is a desperate, clild-like carpetbagger ... a charlatan, a braggart ... all of which antics are pitifully-aimed at filling his deep-rooted insecurity set into the marrow of his bones. This is the cause of his repeated failures to deliver.

Personally, I prefer a guy like Khabib. Truly confident, never fails to deliver.

Your mom has zero personality.

This thread is dumb. You get a dumb response.

 

[Pathfinder]

I rather have his fighting skills than my cool personality.

 

[SKYNET]

there's a difference between a persona and a personality.

I'd rather see a fighter with a winning mentality ride high off their confidence which in turn boosts their quieter less interesting personality vs a fighter with a losers mentality ride high off the glamour of their persona and whether they win or lose, shows zero personality with a sense of deflated or contrived charm

 

[Just Creed]

Cause he doesn't want to be in the limelight, he just wants paid but all you retards care about is who can trashtalk best

 

[horc00]

You know you’ve identified a moron when they think trash-talking gives one a personality while being respectful makes you lack personality.

Well, he fights amazingly well, so I enjoy the fighting game. Would I love the drama bullshit? I would be watching WWE

 

[Octupus Samurai]

He is a Fighter not a personality TV so stfu plz

 

[Herwald]

In 2019, he had a little over 430k instagram followers (according to internet archives). Now he has 3 mill. Got different sponsorships, got different media opportunities like "Hot Wings".

You can't really say he hasn't budged in terms of popularity. I'm a big circus drama show guy, but only when guys wanna do it themselves - especially if they're not getting the pay they want, they try to hustle for attention. But he seems to be in a comfortable territory now.

That said, he should've stayed friends with Colby and let him help with material. Colby would decimate Conor now on the mic. Maybe share some notes with Poirier.

 

[Mcnugget]

This thread, watch soap operas then TS. Not everyone can be fake like Colby or Conor.

The fakeness is Intentional tho l. Both guys step in and out of character regularly . They’re ok with you hating them. They know it’s tacky

 

[mmasask]

and mcgregor is fake

"He has no personality"

Regardless of whoever wins tomorrow night, Khabib big brothered them both

Imagine watching a sport for personality...

I am watching prefight for entertainment, I am not entertained.

Amuse me, I'm casual

 

[Mal Intentions]

he's a prize fighter, not a comedian or actor

 

[Mcnugget]

I personally watch fighting for the actual fights and judge fighters based on in competition performances... I must be weird or something

Bullshit then why do they have j toe packages before every fight. So you know who each person is and then have an opinion on how they perform

 

[djacobox372]

Seems like a cool dude to me... I'd much rather hang out with him than conor.

100% correct and all the dullards of Sherdog will come to defend dullness.

in b4 and after the wave of dull, predictable responses about “judging fighters on performance”, as if u can’t perform AND have a personality.

Everything about Dustin’s persona is universal to just about everyone.

I love my family
I’m proud to be from my state
I grinded a long time to get here
I’m a fighter at heart
I have kids
