I do agree.
He put Aldo down in 10 f’n seconds. Aldo was widely considered P4P #1 for very many years, was an extremely dominant champ and unbeatable for about 10 years or so. Conor just completely embarrassed him and took that belt that nobody else could come close to doing besides Mendes in the rematch. Nobody could really even give Aldo a real fight throughout his 10 year unbeaten streak besides Mendes and Hominick, but Conor just flatlined him just like he said he would. He said the fight would be decided in the first exchange and it was. He trained to do that exact counter before the fight and did it immediately. He simply just knew exactly how to beat him.
Eddie is known for being very hittable and gets hurt at least once in basically every fight, but nobody fucked him up like Conor did. Eddie usually gets hurt but comes back and makes it extremely competitive, but not against Conor. Conor took two belts with unbelievable ease against the once arguable P4P #1 for years (Aldo) and a super tough, long time vet that beats most other top guys although it’s not easy for him, he (Eddie) is still a great fighter and legit top guy. People love to bring up the Nate fights as some way to act like Conor isn’t good, but these people are dumb and just don’t understand match ups stylistically speaking.
Same as the fools acting like Conor is no good because he got beat up by Floyd, one of the greatest boxers of all time in a different sport for fuck’s sake. Conor is an MMA fighter. Just because he has a background in boxing and fucks up everybody in MMA with his hands doesn’t mean that he’s suddenly a shit fighter because he lost to one of the GOAT pure boxers. The people that use this against him are f’n fools that don’t even know anything about fighting anyway and really are just bitter haters that can’t accept how good he is.
Conor is definitely top 5 P4P and for him to be officially ranked #2 is fine by me considering his accomplishments. Rankings don’t mean anything anyway and they change all the time very quickly. Conor could end up losing his next couple of fights in a row for all we know. That’s how fighting is. You can’t win them all. It’s a very difficult sport and no matter how good you are, you can lose to pretty much anybody. Other than that, it’s time for people (the sad, pathetic, idiotic haters) to give him the credit he deserves. He’s one of the best fighters in the world.
The hate he gets is just silly. Fight fans take shit way too seriously. You’re all going to miss when he’s gone so just enjoy the show. The guy puts on great fights every single time and that’s the most important things for us as fans. Just watch the fights and stop whining about him so much. All he does is sell the fights. I can understand some don’t like the way he does it but that’s just how MMA is. Talking shit really can make all the difference in the world when it comes to sales, he has that gift of making people interested in watching. That’s all it is. He’s selling the fights. He doesn’t have any ill will towards any of his opponents, it’s purely all professional. Just enjoy the show and stop crying about him every f’n chance you get, people. It’s not a big deal. Stop acting like what he does effects your life so much.. like that EL GOAT fuck head.
