I know people are going to think but hey he was a draw and I agree he was a draw but sometimes there is huge downside to something that can be on the upside real quickly and then everything falls apart and imo thats how the Conor McGregor Experience was for the UFC and generally MMA in my opinion.
The sport have lost alot in my opinion due to Conor's arrival. It became a circus and lost what made people love the legit'ness of the fighters and the sport itself. It lost that mystic and mane of glory.
It truly became a freakshow where handpicking became outspread and considered good nowadays and also ducking is considered righteous nowadays. It seems like the sport got inflated with Pro wrestling antics.
Pre-Conor The UFC was doing fantastic and hitting the +1mio PPV sales and in fact had better PPV sales overall.
The UFC had multiple mega-stars so they could rotate and they were respected by the MMA community and casual fans and viewed as one of the baddest men on the plante and rightly so but since Conor came things changed and the mystic is gone because it became inflated and it has gone circus. It truly destroyed the mane of glory fighters use to have as a whole.
Couture, Fedor, Jones, GSP, Liddell, Nick Diaz, Lesnar etc etc these were the true stars and in that era there were bad guys like Josh Kos, Serra, Rampage etc etc but they never went full circus and became full retarded.
MMA is first and foremost legit competition aka sport and right now it's jumping off that ship into something completely different and soon enough we will get fixed and staged fights etc etc. We are almost there and the reason why the PPV is doing bad nowadays is the continuous ducking and handpicking fights etc etc divisions getting butchered.
It will take long time before the UFC can return to it's glory status. They went full circus and it really did some unrepairable damage for the long term and might take a decade or 2 before things are back up again.
Rules to follow to avoid this.
1. Do never force anyone on people and never play god meaning let a fighter rise through his talent and destiny. Just like How Fedor, Jones, GSP etc etc became dominant Champs because they were never being feed easy competition or anything it just happened because it was bound to happen.
2. I honestly believe Khabib could have been one of these fighters but they used his entire prime on keeping him on the bench so Conor could shine. I think people would have liked Khabib more because his not fake good. 'HIS real basically'' He kicks ass and is the best LW in the world at the moment. His not fabricated hype nor did he got his opponents hand-picked for him.
We as viewers sometimes just ask for ''real things'' this is as simple as that.
3. The competition, Sportsmanship and MMA as sport is in critical situation and the PPV crisis reflects on this.
