UFC is less exciting now that Conor lost.

[subhuman trash]

It's quite the opposite. Conor's loss was absolutely necessary as he was and still is making the sport look bad with his constant WWE-style trash talking and disrespect.

The upset Nate Diaz achieved was historic. The Conor hype train ended by a short notice fighter that wasn't even in camp. A guy no one expected to win and everyone bet against. The last of Dana's lap dogs ended swiftly, wobbled by Stockton Slaps and choked TFO.

We also got to see that Conor is no different than most fighters with his excuses after the fight. Said fighting heavier fighters will never be an issue for him, and then said the opposite post-fight, blaming the fight on weight difference, even though they're both natural LW.

I could tell Conor was scared during the walkout. I don't feel bad for him. His coach is one of the douchiest guys I've seen and he seemed pretty confident in Conor taking on Lawler and winning, even in Conor moving up to middleweight and "finishing" with that division too. Just absurd. Couldn't even beat 1 week notice Nate.

The slaps were too much for him from a LW. Taking punches from guys his size won't go well for him, period. Bigger guys who walk around at 200+ will one-punch KO him.

No. Nothing against him moving up or having the self belief or being a good showman.

But jeez, clear out your division first. Edgar's still there.

 

[Sharingan]

OP's sn is hilariously appropriate. brainwashed by UFC's marketing indeed.

 

[MachidaNo1Fan]

Not at all

Conor was turning MMA in the UFC into a WWE wankfest.

Not really. Keep staying close minded. Conor was bringing TONS of positive publicity to the sport. Everyone knew who he was. Everyone still knows who he is. Everyone in your social circle (if you have one) is asking when the fight is. I'm all in for people gaining interest in the sport. More money and more attention to the most exciting sport in the world.

Win or lose here on out, Conor has already won and accomplished his dreams. Haters cant take that away from him. Hes done great things, made millions of dollars, KO'd Jose freaking Aldo the best and only featherweight champion of all time in 13 seconds and shook up the entire mma landscape.

 

[Anderson Silva]

When Conor was winning, it made it seem like anything was possible. That you should go big in your life always. What he was doing was inspirational. Everyone hated him, but his belief in himself made it seem like that's all you need.

Now that he lost, it's like saying don't take risk. Don't go big, otherwise you will fail.

He not only got beat, he got fucked.

 

[SH10151]

homeboy needs to take the Hominick approach to fighting.

didnt he swagger jack Hominick's pushup routine after winning? could be wrong here its been ages.

 

[Frank Reynolds]

You might think its boring because you're a mcgregor nut hugger and your hero got utterly destroyed.

 

[lsa]

He fought a fucking Lightweight idiot. They were both at their walk around weight but he didn't fight a legit Welterweight.

Hey, just because Nate talks funny its not cool to call him idiot.

I've never seen Conor do that. Did he really do it?

 

[FightsFTW]

No siree

 

[lsa]

I wasn't calling Nate an idioti, lol. I was calling Goonerview an idiot.

I know!
I needed to make the joke and sadly you mange to quote me before I put my pic in.

 

[SH10151]

I thought I saw it in a CW fight or some highlight reel. honestly I could be thinking of another fighter.

 

[Goonerview]

Conor and his retarded fans (you) were saying before the fight that he'd smoke Diaz and weight or opponent doesn't matter. Now all of a sudden since shit didn't work out for you, weight matters? He had a full training camp and was training the Lightweight Champion and got curb stomped by the perennial consensus #5 Lightweight who had 10 days to prepare. He had no business in there with RDA and the Diaz fight proved it.

Was I?

Here, this is my pre-fight analysis : http://forums.sherdog.com/threads/h.../threads/how-does-mcgregor-beat-diaz.3179669/

Cliffs:

I find it difficult to imagine McGregor's entries and closing the distance against the longer reached fighter. Diaz's size will play a big part.

Wow it is amazing how mentally weak you are.

UFC is not exciting anymore, it has some few great fighters but 95% of them are journeymen or dudes that no one has ever heard about.

Sounds like you should be watching WWE if you need characters like Conor to watch actual mixed martial arts.

Conor actually brought negative publicity to the sport.

If his own country of Ireland doesn't like him...well their attitude of MMA is negative.

Conor losing was great for MMA.

 

[Goonerview]

I'm saying that I've read posts here that claimed Conor was trying to add mass quickly to "make 170". He only needed to, technically, weight 157 right?

My main point is that Diaz is bigger than McGregor. A lot of posters on here keep pretending like they are the same size, when they aren't.

Yes, technically Mighty Mouse could pile on a 150 ibs and fight at HW, doesn't mean he is the same size as Werdum ...

Smoke-n-mirrors withdrawals, eh?

McG is usually the bigger fighter. Mendes was far smaller in stature and he came close to pushing Conor over the edge. Conor lost that fight because he fought with a piss poor plan. Plenty of smaller fighters win against the bigger guy.

I just realized you and I were having a different conversation. I decided to join yours.

You are only looking at this in one way though try looking at it in the way that its only going to make him better overall as a fighter and as a person and we will have the same conor come next announcement onwards and upwards
