I don't know about his legacy but it will make me laugh at his nuthuggers' reaction to it.
no.Would the hype finally die or would the built in excuses save him? For example, "well Conor hadn't fought in 2 years" or "he did really good considering he fought a man tree times his size"
Bank account is all that matters regardless of what they say, you can not cash or deposit a legacy. When his grandchildren are ask about him they will say he was rich and so are we what else do you want to know?
Biggest draw in MMA history, one of the most lethal strikers of all time, KO's against ranked fighters, champions and a legendary fighter against the odds, first simultaneous two division champ.....
He beat a few guys (one no camp) at FW where he had a comical size advantage. Beat a chinny overrated Eddie and went 1-1 with Diaz (one no camp), winning a close second fight in which he literally ran.
And got carried by Floyd in the biggest scam fight I can think of.
And was stripped of both belts. Zero defenses. One days after winning the other.
Tell me who is delusional again?
He branded your boy TJ the moniker he now lives by. Maybe you should ask him.what legacy
This post is like an unwashed taint. I'm gonna be in the next building over.Lets attack each one of your insane comments..."beat a few guys" Holloway, mendes, pourier, aldo, haha. they all weigh the same at weighins...so there is no size advantage..if you can make weight, you are that weight...stop making excuses for his wins...it's pathetic...You don't think aldo, pourier and holloway also cut alot of weight, probably more than conor does. a chinny eddie? The guy beat the lineal champion in rda...that makes him the best and the champion...he caught and finished him...no luck involved...1-1 with diaz? conor also had the same camp for diaz and as diaz had...remember, conor was training for a LW fight, not a WW fight...You say conor ran in the rematch, yet he knocked nate down 3x..busted up his face something fierce and busted his leg up...so say he ran all you want...the guy won.

Lethal striker? One KO in the UFC.. his other two one punch KO's were in 2012 and 2011 prior to the UFC, the rest of his finishes have been TKO'S, plus one KO from an elbow in 2012, and one sub in 2012. Against what odds? A "champ" that has never defended a belt in his entire career, and has 3 losses in which he quit to fighters that many don't consider "elite" or "championship caliber". Like the guy you replied to said.. what legacy?Biggest draw in MMA history, one of the most lethal strikers of all time, KO's against ranked fighters, champions and a legendary fighter against the odds, first simultaneous two division champ.....
So the first two (biggest draw and lethal striker) stand and you agree with them, even though you're trying to hate on it anywayBiggest draw... ok
Most lethal striker.... against midgets in a division he REALLY doesn’t belong in (see Darren till)
Lost to Nate Diaz in his natural weight class
Never defended a belt and was gift wrapped an opportunity to fight for one at 155
UFC created hype machine.
Good fighter? Yes
Legend and all around best mma fighter? NOT EVEN CLOSE.

Never fought Nate Diaz at 155, and actually 70 is less natural for him than 45, so this is really wrong obviously
You can make the argument that he earned his title shot at 155 based on his accomplishments at 145, but that's subjective
Ufc created hype? Obviously not
Legend of the sport? Obviously he is
All around best MMA fighter? Lmao who the fuck said that?
Gone into hiding?? are you trying to rewrite history to what you wish it would be? Well, here's what actually did happen....conor lost, then pretty much called for an immediate rematch...trained his ass off, came back and beat a full camp diaz...beat his ass actually...if that fight was scored properly, or today, the fight wouldn't have been even close...the 2 knockdowns in one round, should have been a 10-8 round...today it would have been...
What do clean one punch KOs have to do with being a lethal striker? You can be a lethal striker without one punch sleeping power, which he does have. Most lethal strikers don't have single strike KOs under the HW division anyway. You're nitpicking, especially because I know you know he is a lethal striker. That is how he's buttered his bread his entire career.Lethal striker?

Conor clearly and concisely knocked Mendes out inside 2. Nothing 'barely' about that.Conor barely beat off the couch mendes.
The fact is whenever Conor has any sort of adversity, he mentally gives up and you can see it. If he doesn’t KO within 2 rounds, he’s mid level fighter at best. Serious.

And that fight also disproves your next assertion, that he folds in the face of adversity. Quite the opposite is true if you look at his career without bias. Max put up a hell of a fight, Chad put real pressure and damage on him, put him in danger... the second Nate fight was a war and he wouldn't go down against Floyd.
One thing Conor is not is 'mentally weak'
Conor was the main reason Chad gassed, he did a ton of work to the body. Sure the lack of a camp aided in this, but that's a big reason why conor went to the body and was so effective doing it. It is what it is.I can’t tell if you’re trolling or serious. The facts are chad had zero camp. And he gassed, something he doesn’t do in any fights. He was MAULING Conor.
Conor was running for his life and looked like death against Nate the 2nd fight as soon as it hit later rounds. And tbh, I don’t think Nate cares if he wins that fight. Losing sets up trilogy and more $$
And Floyd... really? Jesus Christ dude. Floyd toyed with him. He could have ended it inside 2.... he was giving the fans and the world a show.
