What Say You Sherdog, Has Mcgregor Lost His Mystique And Aura of Invincibility?

[Hardkore]

I think the damage done to his aura of invincibility and mistique is irrevocable. The fighters who watched him last Saturday must feel emboldened and know that if they apply enough pressure and avoid the big left, Mcgregor will break mentally.

Even more so, if they get him to the ground, victory is all but assured. Nothing he's shown me makes me thinks otherwise, he's a fish out of water on the ground.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

He drops back down to midget division, he will be hard to beat.

 

[scorpipede]

for those that thought he had one, it's gone. Nothing will convince me otherwise. Silly that he still would appear that way after his 2 losses but hey...there's a lot of stupid in the world.

 

[84raymond]

Na. He will still run through Aldo again.

 

[Dragon Punch]

100% yes.

 

[Rygu]

Still nobody at 145 that's going to challenge him on the feet. If he wants to GSP that division he probably could. At 155 who knows, I bet outside of the top 5, he handles most there too, at least on the feet.

I think Frankie has a very high chance, Mendes a good chance, and Aldo a decent chance. Outside of those guys, Mcgregor feasts on the rest. He goes up to LW, he gets mauled by RDA, Khabib, El Cucuy, the rest have good chances.

[Fatal Catro]

I think he has to go back to 145 and face the music, at a weight where he has a higher chance of success however there are still dangerous fights for him there.

 

[Curly Peibce]

RDA will maul him, is that fight official or still in the air?

 

[Bvr]

He lost it after the mendes fight imo

Keep drinking that kool aid. GSP makes him wear a red wig with matching pumps.

 

[tnsinga]

The Aura is gone for sure. He can win fights at 45 for sure - Edgar will be tough though. Remember as well its only going to get harder for Conor to make 145 and he already finds it tough

Agreed. Only 3 guys that can realistically best him, but after that it's lean offerings.

I'm not saying he could beat GSP, I'm saying he could dominate 145 like GSP dominated 170 in my opinion. I haven't seen any evidence to the contrary so far.

 

[brucedatruce]

Definitely. He's just another average joe now.

 

[mmafan559]

He can never attempt to be the center of attention at a presser like he always did.
Can never talk about his stupid Conor belt.
Can never talk shit on LW and WW divisions being too slow and stoook in the mud.
Can never salad down to 145 without looking like a wiener.

 

[Darwinambrosius]

Yes. People will ignore his antics and focus very, very heavily on takedowns and top control. They've got his number now.
