Conor McGregor

Conor was never good

Best wins were his early ones over Dustin & Max, as they went on to have much better records than him.

Got his title shot after beating bum Denis Siver.

Struggled to beat an off the couch Chad Mendes who he massively outweighed.

Beat Aldo who was on the decline after a lengthy career and two back to back wars with Mendes, Conor also significantly outsized Aldo as this was pre-IV ban.

Lost to an off the couch Nate Diaz, who has one of the worst records of any active UFC fighter.

Struggled to split decision Nate in the rematch after a full camp preparing for him.

Beat journeyman turned accidental champion Eddie Alverez, who Conor himself repeatedly referred to as a journeyman and novice.

Demolished by Khabib.

"Comeback" fight against Cerrone was a farce, Cowboy is probably the only fighter who's record can rival Nate's

Finished by Dustin who actually grew as a fighter and who's resume is far far superior to Conor's

Was spared the indignity of being pieced up by Dustin again by breaking his leg.

I'll leave out his foray into boxing, as anyone who knows anything about the sport will recognise that he was toyed with and exposed as a novice.

But sure, he made loads of money so none of this matters.

I doubt he will make it to his sixties.

Or he might punch the wrong auld lad and end up getting shot. It's not an impossibility. He is known to hang around with some undesirables.

Yeah, the problems arise when the undesirables clash with the untouchables... resulting in the unfathomable! 😆

He certainly seems on a path to the gutter. But it seems like he might have crawled out of one in the first place, so he might find that it's a nice fit for him. (unlike those suits he wears)

There is a myriad of things that could take him down.

Tis a real angry leper caun

The McGregor family make me uneasy. The father is one of the greasiest, creepiest fellas going. Conor himself has obviously done seriously well and his team have absolutely maxed out his limited window of fame so much so that his family are set for generations so long as he doesn’t bollocks it all up and blow the whole lot. I’m sure his team and advisors have literally hidden (or spent) the vast majority of his money. It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s living on an allowance to protect what he has.

Do I like him? No I don’t. Do I respect what he’s been able to do and achieve in 10 years? Absolutely. Only a moron couldn’t appreciate how far he’s come. Now obviously he’s been exploited and rammed down our throats by Dana White and the UFC in that time. He’s nothing more than a seriously valuable asset to the powers that be. I actually admire them more than I do McGregor himself. They saw an opportunity to bring the UFC brand to the next level and make a fortune off the back of this clown by flogging him to the gullibles with too much money and no sense that follow him.

Regarding his legacy, I don’t follow the UFC so I’ve absolutely no idea what kind of legacy he has as a fighter. I think it’s irrelevant anyway because only the die hard UFC fans will care. The McGregor fans won’t give a **** what his UFC legacy is. The only thing they’ll focus on is how much money he’s made out of his career. Little do they realise is that the only reason he has so much money is because the UFC essentially created him. He’s like a test tube baby for all the world. They spotted an opportunity to exploit him and they took it and it paid off. Did he sully the name of an already dodgy enough looking organisation? No he didn’t. McGregor changed the game for the UFC and made White, Rogan and all the others even wealthier than they already were. He took the UFC from essentially no page to front page and he did it the world over. His fight record and legacy as a fighter are totally irrelevant. McGregor himself couldn’t care less, I’ve seen countless clips of him saying the UFC was his shot at “getting off the streets” and making money. Mission accomplished.

Aside from his fanboys, nobody else really cares about him or his family. But his fanboys will continue to support him no matter what. If McGregor announced tomorrow that he would be selling dogshit in Centra’s across Ireland and 7/11s in America, they'd start queuing today. Making an absolute fortune by essentially being a performing monkey for the suits and brains who run the show for him is what I’ll remember him and his career for. But he’s made more money than I can dream of so in a weird way I say fair play and good luck to him.
