sport will be fine and Mcgregor will bounce back, maybe this will even make him hungry again. agree izzy is a cringelord and bones is a psychopath too. love watching both fight though
He foreshadowed his own future when he said Aldo was gonna die a crazy old man xDNothing lasts forever. Now Conor's gonna get depressed and accidentaly kill somebody in a drunken street fight and end up in prison.
Love him or hate him, Conor was not only the biggest combat sports star of his generation, but arguably all time (ppv average FACT), something which this bad loss has effectively ended. No matter how good a fighter is , they cannot match the attention and excitement that a super star attraction brings to a sport like Conor did.
That big fight atmosphere which was reminiscent of prime Tyson days, The amazing press conferences, the hype, the pop culture cross over he managed to create that brought so much entertainment to us all , is all basically finished now.
Now what? I can't see anyone who can come close to replacing him. Israel is a cringe lord, and Jones is a boring psychopath. The end of a great era. The sport will probably never be as exciting again, the last superstar is gone. Dustin is a solid fighter but he will always be a Fight Night level attraction and nothing more.
And for the folks saying I'm getting carried away. No. There are losses, and then there are bad losses which effectively end careers as we knew them. This was the latter. It was not a flash KO, or a close decision loss after a great fight. It was a complete exposure.

Lmao. Every star left and the UFC survived. Chuck is gone, Brock is gone, GSP is gone, Nick is gone, Anderson is gone, Ronda is gone, Conor left multiple times, Khabib is gone. There will always be guys, personalitites and rivalries that do well. The UFC showed they can pull great numbers without having to rely on Conor. Before and after.The sport will probably never be as exciting again, the last superstar is gone
Fight night level attraction? He defeated Max Hollaway and 3 former UFC Lightweight champions, and tonight Conor. How is that a fight night level attraction?
You sound like bitter keyboard warrior loser typing from the judgement of your armchair
and what will sherdog do when ppl stop talking about conor
Khabib's fanbase is still here so there will still be a bunch of "toxic casuals". Only Conor's are going away for the time being.why because the toxic casuals will finally go away? the sport won, hard work and determination beat natural skill.... the business lost, but ufc has been fucking their fighters royal
