I don’t think you understand how much of a guaranteed draw he is in the US.

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.

Connors mystique is gone and that one of his biggest advantages early on. His antics now seemed forced and pathetic.
Only way he’s ever a contender again is if he drops down to 145.


This is the biggest thing to me. It definitely seemed forced and fake.

He will get more big fights, don't be fooled.

I hope so. I could care less about UFCABCDEFG, but damn he's annoying.

In MMA he’s done against any fighter with a well rounded game. The blueprint on him is out. Kick the legs off him and counter some until he unplants then fight in his face or take him down and abuse him

Fought Max when he was a pup, a prime age kicking machine Aldo woulda broke both his legs, Alvares’ style fits pegleg’s counter punching to a t. Dude got perfectly timed matchups for both belts and defended neither

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



Maybe if the guy was losing in a world championship fight he might keep putting his name out there. But Conor's is losing to guys still trying to work their way up the food chain. Not a good look for supposedly the best.

He lost to Dustin and Khabib. Diaz also. Diaz is the only one he should be ashamed of but Diaz is no doubt one of the toughest dudes with the best cardio.

Dustin and Khabib are two of the best to ever do it. Head a cool stat earlier for Dustin. He is the 3rd fastest ufc fighter to 20 wins, the other two are George st Pierre and Jon Jones.

Hated seeing the post fight antics. He's never done that before, even after a loss.
Maybe the emotions got the best of him the way it ended, but no excuse for that crap.

I think he'd prefer that and more money then turning into some stepping stone for other ufc young up n comers to beat his arse.

In fighting yes, but when you have a billion you are never finished.

He’ll hit up WWE where his schtick makes so much more sense


What’s his walking around size though? Be hard to pair him with someone where he’s a believable bad arse. I think most of the Wwe guys are >200 lbs

Of those two fought 10 times, Poirier wins 10/10. He was just stronger

He was finished as an actual fighter years ago - he’s been an “entertainer” for a while
