Gotta think his schtick has run its course at this point right? I mean how many times are people gonna keep buying ppv for a guy who hasn’t won a fight in over 2 years

In the sense of being a real contender yes.

He will likely get a pay day or two more in. He will do some sideshow like fighting Jake Paul for a huge one. Then retire.

He’s still a draw but he’ll now be a set up fight for title contenders.

Dude has some talent…. But he also has a boatload of money. Does he want to grind in a real gym sparring killers everyday? Doubtful. Can he get back down to 145 and fight smaller guys that can’t take the shots? If he ain’t gonna do any of that then he won’t be any better than we have seen.

He’ll get Proper Rematch #12 if he wants it.

I think the fact that Connor broke his leg And lost on a TKO is gonna get him at least 1 more big payday possibly more. He was gonna lose anyway based on how the fight was going, but his fans now have straws to grasp at. Honestly if I were Dustin I would consider Not accepting another fight with him because of Connor’s trashy antics against Dustin and his family……..and if Connor didn't like it then “fook him”.

Yeah he’ll never be a top contender again, just like Silva was after breaking his tib/fib

Conor was finished when he stepped in the ring with Khabib. I think he has too much pride to fight someone ranked #6-#15 in a meaningless fight. Dude is such a narcissist he'd rather get KO'd by a top 3 guy and make excuses instead of fighting a lesser fighter on his level.

I even question the "legacy" people talk about. He had a 1 year peak which he fought Nate Diaz 2x, Jose Aldo, and Eddie Alvarez. He then spent 2 years pumping up this "legacy" only to get destroyed by Khabib. He did nothing during those 2 years. Diaz, Aldo, and Alvarez have clearly spiraled since those fights as well. Almost like the dudes legacy is beating fighters on their way down.

I have no interest in seeing him ever fight again, but I don't think that I understand just how much of a guaranteed draw he is in outside of the US, mainly Europe. Because of this I think he will get as many fights as he wants. I just don't know what draws him to keep fighting at this point.

Dana and Conor’s egos won’t allow him to go out like that on a freak accident. I don’t think he’ll be a true title contender again but rematches with Diaz and Poirier would still draw.

He’s done and he knows it which is why he’s reacting like a child. He’s an emotionally unintelligent person who’s no longer good at fighting.
