Conor McGregor Responds With Strong Message To ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith

Damn, I only clicked once on "Post".....

Stephen A. Smith was wrong about everything: he was wrong that we learned nothing about the McGregor-Cowboy bout: McGregor had fought only 1 MMA fight since 2016, after his obsession with boxing Mayweather in 2017, and retirement in 2019, and that lone MMA fight was a loss. There were huge questions if McGregor could focus and prepare well enough and long enough to return to the prime of his career from 2013-16, or if it was gone forever. Of course 40 seconds is not a long enough time, but MMA fights are often like that, with sudden knockouts and ends unexpectedly, regardless of how good the opponents are. We learned that McGregor was still capable of being a top champion of the UFC/MMA, and he isn't a has-been. And SAS was wrong about calling Cowboy a "quitter". Cowboy has proven himself enough to not deserve that.

I really don't like Stephen A Smith at all, and I love seeing people legit put him in his place like Marcus Spears did earlier this year. But ... the dude absolutely knows boxing and MMA ... he's a very big fan of those sports and isn't just talking out of his butt when he comments on them. In addition, despite my dislike of his style and approach, I do think he is one of the most "journalistic" reporters/personalities currently in sports. He has a very journalistic approach to his stories and opinions and rarely just shows up with a completely uniformed viewpoint to start an argument. Again, not my favorite dude out there, but I respect the work he puts into what he does.

Steve should fight and Connor and Connor should be the post fight analyst and they should critique each other. I’d pay to see that.

Stephen A will never admit he is wrong

Tv personality rather than respected news journalist. He should only be covering the nba bc he knows nothing about other sports.

Stephen A Smith would require 4 tweets to send one message. Dude rambles on like someone we all know around here

Rogan vs Smith. Sign them up I agree with smith. Cowboy folded like a cheap tent.

Anything with Stephen A Smith in it should not be classified as "News".

Oh look it’s Stephen A Smith not knowing what he’s talking about.
