Its like everything he says is gold
And he's not a bad looking guy and he's
Tough he took lots of good shots no problem
 
I'm indifferent about him but I know he's good for the sport and for my boy Nate's paycheck.
 
I'm a big fan and like the freshness and boldness he brings to mma. That said, he started out genuine, but with the fame has started copying what some fighters have done in the past and his delusion of his abilities led to the Diaz loss and not accepting defeat to this rematch. His training methods were to focus on any opponent Bruce Lee style, but when he loses he abandoned what he preached and brings in the Diaz body type. I think he had the right approach with improving himself against all comers, now with a loss the focus is on his opponent, not himself. Whether that's right or wrong is his business.
 
Only 26 haters? You have got to be kidding me. There's been at least 26 in this thread.
 
I don't hate Conor, but I hate the way he acts so I dislike him, if he'd be humble I'd like him for sure.
 
I think by Sherdog definitions I'd be a 'true Conor hater' but I mostly hate his fans. I wouldn't be a fan even with their absence however. I don't like the way he sells fights. Obviously as a Diaz fan I don't mind trash talk but the WWE quality of Conor's doesn't sit well with me. It's odd because I didn't mind Chael's that much and Conor's is basically Chael's copy and pasted verbally with a few edits here and there. Perhaps with slightly more charisma.
 
I chose indifferent, but that was more of an average. I dislike listening to him blather on, but I enjoy watching him fight.
 
I kinda like the guy, i mean its entertaining to watch in and out of the cage, in the end always delivers, even in defeat fight was great.

Dislike him. Dislike his nuthuggers even more.

His tailor-made suits mean nothing to me; his multiple expressions towards money are nearly repulsive. Obviously he knows how to speak in front of a camera, but almost always is to praise himself and/or insult somebody. I don't get excited by his talking, like his nuthuggers.

As a MMA fighter, IMO he's highly overrated. A one-dimensional striker, who's not even a great striker. Bad kicks, no low kicks, no muay thai. Not a good jab, not even a great boxer. His ground game? Mediocre wrestling, even worst BJJ. There are more a hundred MMA fighters with better submission game than him.

Good, dominant FW.
Mediocre LW, won't getnear that belt?
WW? What a joke, he would be raped by top WWs.

Saying his striking isn't good is stretching very far. He has good boxing fundamentals, and his kicks are very specific in their purpose. But he does throw a mean front kick and spinning back kick though, like when he destroyed Holloway. As for Muay Thai, it doesn't matter much to me. It doesn't fit his style.
 
In the cage - a proven top fighter on account of superb striking skills. Not an elite fighter as his wrestling and BJJ are garbage.

Outside the cage - tiresome troll idiot.
 
@I see stiffness EXPOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love trash talking but the way he talks, only GOAT tier fighters should be allowed to talk like that. There are only a handful of them in the UFC and he's not one of them.
 
I shit on Conor quite a bit, and am rooting for Diaz against him. But I like Conor, and would rather see him stay at 145 and continue to dominate instead of going for the superfights against bigger guys he will lose to. I do, however respect his willingness to fight at a higher weight class unlike a certain DNB ex-champ.
