why all the backlash?

[oldeskoolmma]

Sherbro Loiosh (I hope I got that right) has put it better than I've heard anyone put it yet," Nate is a blue collar fighter that just executed the most obnoxious guy in MMA. All props are deserved"

 

[Helden]

If people need to ask "Why all the backlash", then they really havent read Sherdog until last week or so

 

[Arm Barbarian]

I wouldn't say he's the most obnoxious.

He is loud & flamboyant, a bit of a braggart at times, but he's just promoting himself and fights for the most part.

But he did say some dumb shit, like he would pass Nates guard and choke him out.

Open mouth, insert foot.

I've witnessed a million "I dont understand the Connor hate?" threads this week.... Its sad to say the least

I don't know.. saying he is a god is pretty damn obnoxious if you ask me. Take all the bullshit Ronda hype.. multiply it by 20 and you have Conor.

 

[Helden]

Right. He should have said "Nate will hold me in his guard and strangle me because I'm grappling retarded."

Or he could have just kept quiet about that and went with the usual " Head clean off" crap

 

[BNC]

I laughed so hard when he said that hahaha "I WILL CRUSH HIS HIPS AND DEN MOUNT HEEM"

 

[dragonsfly]

This man has talked so much that he started bad mouthing even religious communties he brought this on him

He is obnoxious, he claims to be the king and the GOAT, and has never had a title defense, and has only been around for about two years. He has alot of fighting before he should be comparing himself to Spidey, or Fedor, or Chuck, or BJ, or Georges, or even fuckin Tito for fucks sake.

 

[Helden]

Great idea if you want to be Diaz broke and remain forever irrelevant. MMA's business landscape isn't introvert friendly.

So his relevancy is dependent purely on the level of stupid in his trash talk? Good to know that his "fans" care more about the wwe antics than the fight, not that we didn't know that already

 

[MoMurdah]

because everyone put conor on their draftkings team and now they r salty AF

 

[Cry0Therapy737]

Not a fan and enjoyed seeing him lose but I give him props for facing the loss like a man and having the courage to show his face in public.

Unlike someone else....

Not even close. The ufc made casual fans believe she could beat some of the men in the bw division. She was on every talk show, hosted snl, got a bunch of movie deals without having one bit of talent when it comes to acting. Conor is an exciting fighter that was on an incredible streak. He ko'd aldo in 13 seconds ffs. I get why some people don't like him, but Ronda was on a whole new level when it came to hype.

 

[Helden]

Controversy sells. It's not a matter of his fans, just the public in general. People like to see a mouth to match the skillset. The complete "package", if you will.

If you make money by disrespecting others, you should be willing to accept the backlash for when you fall.

Yeah and people also thought that Conor could beat Rockhold or Weidman.. Also, only one of them compared themselves to a god.. guess which one.

Oh and the level of disrespect Ronda had for some of her opponents, pales in comparison for the disrespect Conor had for not just his opponents, but for the majority of the UFC roster.. but we are supposed to accept that because:

"He is just hyping the fights, he is really nice in person"
- His family and friends

He made his name by being a disrespectful narcissist, he should be willing to accept the backlash for it

Nate is a blue collar fighter that just executed the most obnoxious guy in MMA.

Conor is also from a blue collar background. He was a plumber from apparently a lower class part of Dublin. That "rich kids shouldn't fight" comment from Nate was one of the biggest WTF moments of that press conference.

 

[Helden]

I'm sure Conor has accepted it and is giving it less thought than any of his detractors are. But you would need to talk to him about it.

Besides, Conor's performance has clearly stirred up massive interest in fans and haters alike. Despite the act, people like you fell for every word that came out of Conor's mouth from start to finish. It's the reason people who supposedly "despise" him are still discussing him over a week later. Seems like he's managed to gain more than he's lost from this entire situation.

I'm sure Conor doesn't care that much about the backlash he is getting, but his crybaby fans seem to be losing sleep over it

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! YOU HAVE WON A SHIRT THAT READS "I'VE COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT!" ALSO YOU WILL BE GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOU ARE ENTERED AUTOMATICALLY INTO THE NEXT CONTEST FOR A SHIRT THAT READS"I NO SPEAKA DA ENGLISH!?"

Yeah he wasn't hiding behind a pillow. Holly handled her loss well too. She was hurt but handled it like a professional. I also don't think Jon Jones gets enough credit about how he handled his loss. It was almost like he was never beat.

I don't think Nate knows too much about Conor's life before fighting. Dude doesn't know what a gazelle is. I doubt he gives a shit about Conor's life before the fight game.
