Real reason of McGregors decline

he got high from his own supply (alcohol),
the emasculation he suffered from khabib,
already has more money than he can spend,
knows he will never be the greatest
 
Size bully like JBJ at least he moved up and took some challenges I guess

Jones only moved up when all the guys his size just suck.
 
It was all over once he signed the Mayweather fight
Once you get that rich, changes everything
( besides the substance abuse)

same might happen to Large Frank once he deposits the bag

Don't compare the Goat to 1.5 round guy without heart lmao Eddie was stylistic matchup for him
 
No its because he hasn't been hungry to win since before the Floyd fight. Once he got to a certain level of wealth and fame, he started giving less fooks about the fight game.

Also, one dimensional fighters can only make it so far in elite MMA
 
He was never that good.
But he also declined.
It’s both.
He entertains people with his mouth. He got pushed by the UFC and gave him stylistic good matchups.
the only good wrestler he fought was on short notice.

he is very good in one thing. He can beat many fighters with that one thing when nobody paid that much attention to his one dimensional fighting style.

-he got figured out
-he was never that good as people try to sell him
-he declined due to a lack of training

he got the best out of his career. He could have never readed that peak again. He was taking advantage of people not knowing his fighting style and vulnerabilities that much.


I wonder what he would have done if the UFC wouldn’t have let him take the Mayweather fight.
Would he have defended his belt at FW or LW.

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

Eddie is 5’9 lol. Cowboy is 6’1…. has nothing to do with height

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

Conor got fuck everyone money and did what most of us would.

Is hard to be hungry when you're feasting.
 
I hate conor but not as much as i hate those fucking threads.
Conor declined cause he does not live like an athlete anymore, thats all.
No need to pound on the guy for false reasons, he had a great run, its over now cause he has mountains of money and he prefers partying than training. End of story

In reality we don't know that.. didn't conor blow his acl partly in that camp?

No, i'm obviously joking.. the narrative was mendes was drinking beer and hunting (bad combo?) and rolled of the couch to fight in 2 weeks.. he came in at 177 i think at SUG.. he still made 145 for that fight..

I'm just saying the narrative is a bit lopsided on these board because conor happens to be a sociopath..

Gotcha, ya I'm sure he was drinking and hunting plenty. Not conducive to having great cardio.

Apparently Conor did partially blow his ACL prior to the fight, I had forgotten that.

Obviously nobody knew about Conor's injury or he wouldn't have been allowed to fight but we did know that Chad rolled off the couch and gave Conor hell for most of 2 rounds until Conor was able to get up off a failed guillotine. Seems as if Chad's cardio held up he could have eventually worn Conor out on the ground for a decision or possible submission.

And yes, Conor is a sociopath.
 
He has drug issues and he is also extremely rich. He got so famous that he can't train with regular people anymore.
 
Boxing money seemed to be the beginning, eventually the leg break finished it.

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

He was not in his prime for Dustin 2. He fights completely differently. He plods forward trying to force a knock out, force shots. He used to lure people to react with kicks and movement, then counter them. He became a stiff, predictable head hunter.

Your argument falls apart bc he beat 6 feet Max Holloway and Cowboy Cerrone. Also he beat Dustin Poirier in their first fight.

What is prime? You don’t think that the McGregor that did end up beating Diaz, was a better version of him? Both in his physical but major changes to game plan and not using up his gas tank early. It was pretty clear to everyone that he had completely emptied his gas tank in their first fight but didn’t in their next fight.
