The biggest Conor hater on the planet

Yeah I hate him so much that I just called him the GOAT UFC entertainer! I'm pretty sure that someone being hyped up for their name and not their accomplishments is the definition of overrated.

(0) Title defenses
(0) Fights vs top fighters in their prime

Got his arse kicked by the 1 guy anywhere close to his level.

Connor's greatest UFC moment was beating Aldo. Holloway KO'd Aldo and then KO'd him again in a title defense, and then continued to fight Volk 3x, Topuria, etccc.

Connor McGregor would never ever in his career fight someone better than him (3) times.

The fact that so many people look up to this dude or view him so highly is an absolute joke.

Dude you’ve used this same tired argument anytime his name pops up in any MMA thread and you still refuse to acknowledge that Aldo was in his prime and the best fighter on the planet when he got slept in 8 seconds. Nobody cares about this hill you love to die on anymore.

I am really curious to see how this one goes. My brain tells me that Max is going to destroy him but there's also a dumb thought lingering of "What if Connor is old Connor?" He might surprise me but I doubt it. If he's close to old Connor it should be a fun fight. I'm pretty excited about it.

I like the Pimblett v St. Denis matchup but St. Denis has never really impressed me. The win vs Ruffy looking back on it was pretty impressive but jumping up in the rankings because of wins vs Dariush and Hooker don't really excite me.

Think the Kavanagh v Royval fight might be a good one.

I don’t expect Conor to win. He focuses to much on just traditional boxing instead of his old school muai Thai style when he was sleeping people that made him quicker and more well rounded. He’s been like this since the poirer fights and it makes him more flat footed and 1 dimensional. My one hope is it’s a big jump for Max. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong but idk if he’s ever fought at welter. Conor at the very least should still have his power and maybe max’s chin has weakened since the Ilia KO

Same. I’m shocked he’s favored. His a KO artist and if Justin couldn’t KO paddy I don’t think Denis will. I expect paddy to get him to the ground and grind him out

No one can really argue against it either. There's people that actually think Connor McGregor has had a better UFC career than Max Holloway.

This is the one I’m having the most trouble with. Royval looked great in his loss against Van and gave him probably the best fight of his youn career but he’s getting up there. Lone’r is a young up and comer but he hasn’t really fought anybody yet. Leaning Royval for now

He's definitely the most overrated fighter in UFC history

He's like the Kardashians of UFC

He gets hyped because of outside the ring stuff, then gets his leg broke inside the ring by a Cajun

I'm not a McGregor fan boy by any means and I agree 100% he's overrated. But just playing Devils advocate here...

I think that's a bit unfair. Aldo was for sure in his prime and undefeated in the UFC at that point. Probably could argue Alvarez was in his prime. Poirier was in his prime. Nurmagomedov certainly was. Unless you are talking him not beating someone in their prime, then that narrows it down.

Didn't he have the belt when he beat Aldo and Alvarez? Or was that seperate weight classes?

When he beat Aldo he was the interim featherweight champ and the victory unified the titles. When he beat Alvarez, he was the featherweight champ and then became the champ champ winning the lightweight championship.
