How will you remember Conor Mcgregor?

[gesten]

I’ll remember him as an alpha/legend

Don’t care who he beat/lost

Dude knows when to be humble and when to be cocky which is why I will remember him

[Clockbro]

His persona will be imitated, poorly.

He was always a good sport about his wins and his losses.

Showed that if you have dedication and work ethic in your craft, there are no limits to the amount of success you can achieve.

And above all, he is a genuine martial artist.

I see a Bruce Lee-like fencer-like incredible striker who judges distance and timing really incredibly. Crazy precision and intelligence. Very tough guy with a great chin too. I will remember him as a great Martial Artist, top fighter, and smart mofo who made tons of money using his skills and his big mouth and bad attitude which also gets him in trouble too much.

Yea the Khabib loss is an interesting one, tbh I wasn't shocked when Conor lost that fight nor that disappointed given he has no wrestling credentials. He put up a good fight, started off with nice pressure on Khabib, landed a counter knee to his takedown in round one but once Khabib gets a hold, it's pretty much a wrap.

People always mention that flash ko against Aldo was lucky, and that Aldo was past his prime then in 2015, but Aldo is still fighting nowadays and looks in champion form.

Beat Chad Mendes on a week notice. Pretty much rolls over in his sleep and says "they'll are the same." Love that mentality.

Held two simultaneous belts and made Alvarez look like a complete amateur.

Goes up to 170 on 11 days notice against Nate Diaz who is known for his cardio.

Beat the brakes off of Cowboy.


It's hard not to deny Conor's accomplishments, it's funny because he is the stand up striker theme which is the most exciting style of fighting but people hate on him because he is also a legit trash talker

well said

Great fighter high ring IQ striker just not the alltimegreat his fans saw him as.

Great fighter high ring IQ striker just not the alltimegreat his fans saw him as.

Definitely the most influential fighter in history imo which should be worth something

[rgnx]

Potential goat, if he kept going and actually had a title defense. but his achievements aren't even top 10 P4P

[theparttimenerd]

Bodying Jeremy Stephens at a press conference,, getting mauled by Khabib, and the lowlight making that ******* Dildo Danish famous.

[ndiguy]

"What if" will always come to mind.

I will always wonder what more he could have accomplished in the octagon, had his focus remained on the fight game itself and not the money.

Conor Mcgregor is a very polarizing and controversial figure in mixed martial arts.
Most people will agree he is a terrible role model and bad ambassador for the sport, assaulting elderly people, sexual assault allegations, smashing fans phones, shoving Bellator referees, Islamophobic remarks, offensive trash talking, throwing metal dollies at buses, arrogance etc. He is probably the complete opposite of humble respectful guys like GSP and Robert Whitaker, which is why people crap on him 100x more when he loses.

Now, how will you remember him as a fighter? What is his legacy in your eyes?

-Will you remember him for knocking out Jose aldo (unbeaten for 10 years) in record breaking time?
-Will you remember him as the first ever simultaneous double champion?
-Will you remember him for his trilogy with Nate?
-Will you remember him for getting his ass whooped in front of the whole world by Khabib and tapping multiple times?
-Or will you not give a single crap about him?

I personally think he will be remembered for getting his ass kicked by Khabib. It had 2.5 million PPV buys, which is over twice the amount of people who watched him beat aldo. He should have stayed retired after beating Eddie. He would have went down as a legend and retire as a winner. He might be richer but the Khabib fight really ruined his stock and tough guy image.

I will always remember him as the great white hope, the fight he had with Floyd and how good he was, but he ruined it all by being cocky, pride comes before the fall, it's basically a curse, it's similar to karma, there are forces in this world that we don't know and we don't understand, but certain laws do exist. If he was humble he would still be champ rn and retire undefeated

People always shiit on Jones for his problems but they seem to give this trouble young man a pass.

[ralphlaurenbrah]

GOAT **** talker. Made MMA mainstream. That’s about it for me. His striking was top notch too but he won’t go down as a GOAT which in the end who gives a fuk he made 10x more money as anyone else and got out before he got full CTE

[Magomed1]

1 word sums him up....

SMESH

[OttomanEmpire]

Great/Greatest self-promoter
Great Trash talker(defeats his opponents mentally before they even step in the octagon)
Great first round/quick KOs

Outside of those though, like if I walked past him on the streets i wouldn't care about him.(I don't like his personality outside of mma). He and his family don't seem like the humble bunch. brb his mom was talking about his wife not being wife material yet it's her son cheating on his wife a dozen of times while she's at home raising his children. The same woman that was working and preparing his food while he was on welfare and training mma. Also that video of his father taking public transportation first time and talking sht about the people that use public transportation. brb we're all millionaires/billionaires.

[mk2kh]

Conor ‘tap machine’ mctapper

[BornagaininUES]

He is the type of fighter you remember more for life outside of the cage than inside, a personality like none other. I could see dude getting movie roles in the future and being featured on a lot of shows. Someone we will talk about for decades to come whose antics will be imitated in movies and will have characters spawn from him. Got his ass kicked by Khabib but a once in a lifetime sports personality.

[westcoastronny]

Somebody who is on a knife edge of undoing all of his great work if he's not careful. fact!

[zhengterry]

Conor's not done yet, he is fighting Poirier next!

[waisoserious]

As 1 of the best ever. Just wasnt better than Khabib

When he beat, Holloway and Poirier we thought they were nobodies that the UFC just put infront of him to pump him up. It was only after Holloway and Poirier became champs that we realized Connor just made them look like nobodies.

His dismantling of Alvarez will go down as 1 of the best performances of all time.

He even went back up to 170 to rematch with Nate Diaz at his own weight class.

Connor is undoubtedly 1 of the best ever.

His performance vs Mayweather was also better than most of the fights on Mayweather's record. Even if Mayweather was coasting in the earlier rounds.
