Real reason of McGregors decline

[Ropeee]

He just started to fight guys who are close to his size or bigger. Guys like Aldo Mendes Eddie were 5'6 and guys who beated him like Nate and Dustin were 5'9 and 6'0

Thats one of the reasons he lost to Nate and Dustin

Also they started to kick his legs look at Dustin even Nate did first Conor can't check kicks.

The whole thing that Conor was washed after Eddie is just myth for kids he looked the same but fought guys close to his size or bigger and ofc they kicked his leg

Weight bully at 145. Only wins at 155 are suspicious. Gift decision against Nate at 170.

He don’t have the heart that I saw against Mendes & Nate II. He seemed to shrug off Mendes’s haymakers and he seemed determined during that rough 3rd round in the Nate rematch.

In the 2nd round of the Dustin rematch he looked “spent” (when his lead hook didn’t land and Dustin pivoted out from against the cage). Then Dustin poured it on and Conor’s cover-bobbing defense didn’t work.

In the third fight he went for an ill advised guillotine. Nothing else bothered me like it did his biggest detractors. Him clinching wasn’t all that bad imo; and he wasn’t all that hurt from the ground & pound (whereas DC made it seem like “Herb was close to stopping it”). I personally didn’t feel like Khabib’s ground & pound was all that devastating like Joe Rogan made it seem, let alone Dustin’s.

Conor Mcgregor draining himself to FW

The real reason:

• No gas tank
• Weight bully at 145
• Was gifted a lot of fights based on his fighting style (styles make fights)
• Made Mayweather money
• Fighting isn't his thing anymore, even though he says it is
• Tougher competition at 155
• Alcohol, drugs and whores
• Khabib lives rent free in his head

Pick one (or more)

 

[ninja boot]

Hmmm i dunno about that. There are a pile of reasons including inactivity, injury and especially money leading to complacency. I have yet to see a champ that just keeps progressing in skill and ability as they age as well.

So the booze and coke had no effect?

 

[Brigfa2]

I don't know how he is a weight bully, never missed a weight and looked like a zombie for only one weight in his career.
Height has nothing to do with weight class, but if we go by your dumb logic Conor is 5'8 so if him beating 5'6 guys is unfair, then 5'10 6'0 guys beating him is unfair too

 

[I_IZ_BACK]

Even better, you have the e-book version?

 

[Brigfa2]

Says Conor is a weight bully, supports Jon Jones lolllll

I believe thats just myth he lost to Nate clearly in his prime and I believe he was in his prime against Khabib and Dustin 2

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

Says Conor is a weight bully, supports Jon Jones lolllll

As you said, height has nothing to do with weight class
Jon Jones moved up to HW and you saw how he looked, fat
Jones was nicknamed "Bones" by his former football team mates because of his skinny frame

Jones never had problem with weight cutting lmao he was skinny 95% of his career at LHW

Conor is 5'9 5'10 same size as Dustin lmao

I think there’s numerous factors at play.

1. Long periods of inactivity
2. Hard to get motivated to get beat up when you’re living a life of luxury.
3. The drugs and alcohol
4. His style just getting figured out over time and his weaknesses being exposed.
5. Less size and reach advantage as mentioned.
6. Training at the same gym forever where he’s their top dog with little challenge and yes men surrounding him.
7. Plain and simply too many distractions in his personal life to be completely dedicated.

 

[Marko Polo]

No one likes to fight

 

[Vil7]

There is probably some truth to fighting bigger opponents at 155 contributing to his decline. I think a lot of it has to do with.a lack of professionalism & that he has lost motivation. His range & timing now is so much worse than when he fought Alvarez. I don't think he is training consistently & is in fighting shape any more.

Alcohol can make a washed up hasbeen out of some hard men
