Sorry if I came across angry. Have a good day sir.

It's all good, it's just Sherdog, and I was wrong anyways.

 

[JagWar]

Ronda has more twitter followers. End thread.

 

[BlancaDiablo]

Roy Jones? Who are we talking about? Haha jk Bones Jones has been around longer though

 

[Jayfiddy]

Who's Jon Jones? Oh right that guy that was involved in a hit and run and can't control his use of cocaine. Lol

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

[Arm Barbarian]

As others have succinctly put it already:

Legacy, (at this stage) Yes.

Popularity, No.

Conors average is still higher since he's only headlined 1 ppv :icon_chee

It's not about hate or love.. He has the coveted title which legit makes him more relevant in human history going forward.. I believe there was 1000s of more loved boxers then Mike tyson and Ali? so where are there today? thats it nobody gives a shit becuase they never made there names relevant.. So they have no page in Human history

 

[Reaperman]

No Jones is not more popular. He isn't more dominant then Rousey. She is a bigger draw, and is a more dominant fighter in her division. Connor isn't as dominant (he has been stopped twice), but he is a bigger draw. This is not debatable

It's ok. So, he's more popular to you, personally. We won't knock that. But globally, Ronda and Conor are more popular.

[Vegesus44]

Jones who?

 

[Uber_Noober]

Unfortunately, if he can't return to fighting, his legacy will be all the bad things he did.

 

[llama de lrey]

What a stupid topic for a thread. Ban the TS.

 

[DaGenius]

Lost all credibility when you said Ronda is lesser in any way than mcgregor.

I Love jones though.

 

[Aegon Spengler]

Conor may yet turn out to be a flash in the pan kind of fighter. He certainly has the potential to outshine Jones and Honda Housey, time will tell. Sooner or later, time will tell.
