I was at the MGM when he ended up fighting Conor and beat him the first time they fought and he came in late as the replacement for dos Anjos. The key cards all had dos Anjos and McGregor on them and the hotel never changed the cards

Was there for a bachelor party and he walked into Hakkasan at like 3:30. Dude absolutely had a concussion as he was walking around with no life in his eyes. He could barely acknowledge people who were congratulating him

Fought a ton of nobodies to pad his record, was a massive weight bully, should have lost to Gleison Tibau, and only fought championship level fighters 2-3 times, the quit to protect his record.

Explanation?


No one thinks Khabib wasn't great, but its impossible to not be overrated with the way he is held in esteem. The funniest part of Khabib worship is that Khabib fans will cry all night about Connor being overrated and then immediately turn around and point to that win over a washed up Connor as proof that Khabib is the greatest.

Wouldn't say Conor was totally washed up during their fight, but he Definatly want at his peak coming off a multi-year layoff from MMA.

Overrated: Paolo Costa

Underrated: Dominick Reyes (he got screwed vs Jon Jones..what could’ve been)

The only bad loss he has is Spann.

Jiri, Ulberg. Prime Jan, and Jon are his other losses
