i am a fan of both but some connor fans overrate him too much for not even beating the #1 guy in the division yet
ronda's hype is warranted

Ronda fans by far
Conor threads are more annoying for one very simple reason -- he doesn't even hold an undisputed title. You don't deserve more than a few cursory threads until you're the undisputed champion of your division and have preferably defended the title at least once.
Being insanely hyped with a ton of threads before you've fought a single top 5 contender is the definition of undue praise or criticism. You just haven't proven anything one way or the other so any discussion is theoretical at best and hyperbolic at worst.
Rousey gets a lot of threads, but least she's the undisputed, undefeated Champion and has multiple title defenses under her belt. She may not have the best competition, but at least she's completely crushed her opposition as would be expected of a legitimate champion facing sub-par competition.
How many UFC champions couldn't even crush the cans they faced properly? More than a few.
So excessive Conor threads take the cake. At least for now.
Do you feel the same way with analysts? Does it annoy you when they praise prospects for bringing an innovative style to the fight because they aren't using it vs the top of the heap?
Imo sometimes it's even more fun to see an unexpected debutant display slick skills than a champion doing it to some one dimensional wrestler who climbed his way to the top in lackluster fashion.
1. No clue. -But I did take a break from Sherdog following the McGregor fight, for a reason. I enjoyed the fight that much more.After both of their fights the message boards have been filled with threads about Conor or Ronda.
My question is four parts:
1) Who got the most threads about them during the two day span following their fight?
2) Who is more hated on Sherdog Ronda or Conor?
3) Who's fans are the most annoying?
4) Who's haters are the most annoying?
