No f***ing way Conor comes back and fight after that It didn't look as bad as Ronda in the Nunes fight but he didn't look like he wanted to be in there either by that second rd. It was odd that he didn't check any of the leg kicks. Something he's usually quite good at.

And in a buildup where he seemed to have his head on straight for once and didn't make me feel embarrassed to cheer for him either.
Not A good sign if his chin is going now.

Yea, that's what I mean, it is not that he got whooped badly but the fact he really doesn't need to fight and he looks checked out He can continue to squeeze what he wants out of Dana but Conor keeps trying to box too and if he wants a decent money fight with Pacquiao, he can't afford L's Tho I never thought him vs Pacman was happening anyway

This is gonna make me sound like an ass but I was a UFC fan forever and now I'm just..not.
I actually think alot of the fighters are better but they're just boring. The entertainment value isn't there. To me the only guys left who feel like stars are Mcgregor and Jones.
It's just not doing it for me anymore, it's like generic dude with bad tattoos #3 will take on generic dude #8.

I mean I wouldn't say that Spida, Bones, GSP, Mighty Mouse, Nunez etc all have and/or having careers at the top in regards to holding the championship and defending it The problem is you you put your body through hell in some of these grueling title fights and eventually it catches up to you.

Connor was looking like “paint me like one of your French girls” after that KO, hell nah 🤣🤣 the memes are killing me
Time for Connor to wrap it up. He’s got elephant dollars, no need trying to hang on for pride. Your legacy is set, go be a family man

It is why Mayweather is my favorite boxer. It's called boxing not fighting when people try to say he doesn't scrap enough MMA is a sport of all skills. If a person with great stand up can't do shit on the ground, they shit out of luck and vice versa. Tho in saying all that, Dana has lowered his standards on the quality of a fighter. The Punk horrendous experiment, why the f** is Greg Hardy getting fights, etc

You can be the greatest, if you have the personality of a soggy potato you don't sell. I'm not a hardcore fan so the lack of sizzle is something I notice.

Holloway, Stipe, Nunez etc have literally made people look stupid in the ring but Dana doesn't market well if you're not a Golden child Jones has no personality. Ronda had no personality. You don't have to be a coke fiend like Liddell to sell out but Dana is horrendous at marketing the fighters

I totally get where you're coming from Mecca. If the only exposure you get to MMA is through the UFC, it's very easy to get burned out. Admittedly I'm a big MMA guy, but even I don't get excited over each UFC card. Hell, I can't remember the last time I paid for a PPV. The presentation is kinda conveyer belt and over saturated to the max. Maybe take a break, watch some old stuff you've never seen before or fights you remember as great. It's good sometimes to refresh!

Utterly dominant, knocks chicks out for fun, has a bit of personality, the LGBQT angle. And nothing.

It is why Mayweather is my favorite boxer. It's called boxing not fighting when people try to say he doesn't scrap enough I’ll quote and agree with this take every single time I see it. The man is a defensive wizard, it’s fascinating to watch him work his magic, and I’ll loudly disagree with anyone who calls him “boring.”
