Denis siverWhat Tyrone and some of these other guys dont get is that Conor did exactly the opposite of what they are doing.
Aldo was a killer. He wasnt an easy fight or a money fight. Nobody bought aldo ppv's.
Mendes wasnt a draw and conor fought him on 2 weeks notice.
RDA was a killer at the time at 155 and nobody bought his ppv's.
Nate Diaz never sold ppvs and COnor fought him on 2 weeks notice.
Conor always went after the toughest guys and slept them.
COnor didnt chase the money fight. He went after killers and Conor became the money fight.
FLoyds ppv before conor barely sold 400k buys. Floyd went after the money fight which was Conor.
Conor made money but again boxing floyd was a tough fight. Certainly not easy.
Case after case Conor went after the toughest fights and for the most part beat their ass.
That's the blueprint.
Not the crying like a baby blueprint that Tyrone and some of these other guys are doing. calling out easy fights and all this other nonsense.
These guys cant even hold Conors Jock Strap.
Are you that stupid?Its funny how Conor signs to take on killers like Aldo and RDA, who then pull out two weeks before the event, Conor having every right to pull out (like Tony Ferguson or Jon Jones did) decides to still take on dangerous opponents, and yet he's the coward in all of this? Lol really?
You cant win with guys like you, you know why, because you want to hate on him whether or not the facts support your claims.
Are you that stupid?
I didn't call him a coward, but he is obviously not a hero either.
he picked those fights because if he didn't fight, he didn't get paid. Simple as that.
So he picked an opponent he thought would offer less risk (since there was no reward... which is untrue since they gave him a paper belt in the case of Mendes).
But it is fairly obvious he didn't go for the hard matches like Frankie or Cowboy & Khabib, both guys who openly called him out and amazingly a guy with so many words... he stfu and picked Diaz instead.
I don't hate him for that. It made perfect business sense. But you lauding him a hero? I mean how can you be so naive?
Why doesn't he come back to fight the interim champion then?
Other than the minority of mentally ill professional Conor haters that dwell in the basement of Sherdog, I'm pretty sure he will be remembered as one of the greatest and most exciting talents MMA has ever seen, a revolutionary mixed martial artist and possibly the greatest businessman that the fight game has ever seen.
IV is for rehydration, not dehydration. He didn't have an IV for the Aldo fight, and he recovered extremely well for that fight.
Conor has an average height for featherweight. 5ft9. Mendes and Edgar are two of the shortest featherweights on the roster, and aren't the norm.
Mendes is one of the best power wrestlers in MMA history, Conor had a torn ACL, and had the option of rescheduling to fight Aldo a few weeks later.
Eddie Alvarez opened as only a slight underdog, and at one point was as low as +125. He'd just KO'd RDA. Only with hindsight have his record and skills been discredited. Knowledgable fans knew, but the majority didn't.
Btw, none of your post refutes TS on his comparison of Conor and Tyron.

Since Tyron doesn't get money fights without risk, he avoids risk with his gameplan. I am pretty sure if he had fought Bisping for mw belt or nate Diaz, it would be pretty excitingNo camp Mendes = easy fight.
Aldo = Killer champion. Greatest win.
RDA = the chance to win a new belt without risking his own.
No camp Nate = easy fight, still lost it.
Full camp Nate = became the money fight because Conor lost the first. Again, his belt not in line.
Eddie = see RDA above.
Floyd = money fight where everybody with half a brain knew he would lose while making millions anyway. Serves as an excuse to duck the killers at 155.
It's crystal clear Conor only takes risky fights when he has everything to win and nothing to lose.
PS.: Tyron's lame attempts at hand picking opponents and whining while doing it are even worse. At least Conor fights exciting.
Unable to respond to me?
If someone admits something without coercion with no obvious benefits to themselves for doing so, i tend to believe them, whether they have previously denied it or later retracted it. You don't bring in a whole new team for nothing, stop kidding yourself.
You don't have to be a certain height to fight in a weight division, but using an IV to get down to a lower division specifically so you can use your height advantage is not the M.O of someone who 'doesn't look for easy fights'.
As a “fan of fighting” you seem pretty content with him not fighting and how exciting he is outside the cage. Shouldn’t a fight fan want to see him fight?Were you to stay on-topic, what would you have posted? Is Conor better than Tyron in the way TS said?
"Fuck the extremely entertaining and exciting fighter both inside and outside the cage, because I love titles more than fights!"
I'm glad I'm not like you. If I cared as little about fighting as you seem to, I'd find another hobby.
