Touchbutt Conor was truly a special talent

[Bruce Lee666]

Conor was the man. He did everything he said he was gonna do. After the Floyd fight he's been a shell of his former self. Money, and his ego destroyed him. He's just reckless, and pretty dumb now tbh...

was lucky that Khabib was injured in the LW in 2016 Conor never the best LW.

was 1-1 in the LW and won TS without merit, he fought the peasant Eddie Alvarez when he fought the best LW in the world was destroyed.

conor had talent and he shined beating guys who had shorter reach than him and would not wrestle him. Even his rematch with Diaz was very close. Mandes took a fight on a very short notice and would take Conor with ease. His biggest talents were knowing how to get in opponent’s head and having a granite chin.

It's too bad Unfinished isn't able to chime in on this important topic.

is he banned?

Ido is really underrated. He gave Conor a new perspective of having movement as an advantage. Too bad Conor played right into Nate's mental warfare.

Aint it funny how Shertards always shit on Portal, but it turns out he was actually the secret to Conor's success? People always said: he has to get a more traditional stance, get a boxing coach, drop the touch butt. Well, it looks like he listened to you jabronis and that is why we went from this to this:

Conor was never special talent,just a product of favorable match-making at the right time.


end of discussion

Yep and UFC marketing got Aldo to help build his legacy too right?

 

[Guffman]

is he banned?

Yes, sadly, our sherdog colleague Unfinished has been sent to the cornfield.

If Conor fought Mark Hunt, Conor would have a 2" reach advantage

@tramendous After seeing Leon knocked silly by 170 lb Diaz, puts that first McGregor loss in perspective.

Ido is really underrated. He gave Conor a new perspective of having movement as an advantage. Too bad Conor played right into Nate's mental warfare.

I think he also kept his lifestyle more clean and fun without the booze and drugs. Versus getting his dopamine & serotonin blast from Proper 12, they did it with Meditation and Yoga. Everything that made Conor special he abandoned. Can not say he did not warn us tho, he did say 'get in, get rich, get out' - the part we did not understand is the 'get out' part would not be his absence from the game, but the absence of the fighter that we came to love. Not only does he fight like War Machine, he now acts like him.

And for all the shit Kav gets, he also told Conor to retire pot Eddie. If Conor did that, he is likely seen as a top 3 top martial artists of all time. Now, he is just embarrassing, went from a champ champ that beat everyone he faced in 18 fights (17-1) to going 1-4 in his last 5, even losing to a same fighter twice that he absolutely clowned. Touch butt Conor EVISCERATES Proper 12 red faced drunk bald guy.

Delusional conor fans

This Conor was on point

it's sad that nobody worked out he actually is conor on a coke rant in his private yacht
I know these tings

 

[Coconutwater]

honestly, that one comment by diaz about "playing touchbutt in that dork in the park" did more damage to Conor than anything. After he stopped training with Ido because he became self consicious about it, he started to lose it.

Conor was going to lose to anyone he couldn't finish in two rounds who isn't a midget or anyone who can't recognize his slip-counter setup.

But yes, he did quite training with Ido once Nate made him look stupid.

Well yeah, Khabib would've mauled everyone back in 2016 at LW. He's a special talent...

Ido had as much to do with Conor's success as Fedor's sweater had to do with his.

 

[NationWideNinja]

Nope, he avoided bad matchups during those days. Fought Max and Dustin when they were green and intimidated. Diaz was never championship level. Eddie and Aldo were just beginning the downsides of their careers. Fighters learned Conor's game and he lost his aura. That version of Conor doesn't beat any of them. His competition has evolved beyond him.

Who were these monsters he was ducking during his FW run?

Fedor's legendary sweater deserves its own thread.
