Connor is literally brutally honest about everything and it's hilarious, can not wait for more classic moments

[@huttanamaihala2276]

@julian marx sad but troooo

[@shettywap]

brutally honest about everything and everyone but himself. lol those kinds of people are meant to be chuckled at, but never followed or trusted.

[@johnboylan3832]

Mark my words: he will be so cringeworthy that only the biggest slurpers will like him. Back then, he was genuinely witty; now he is a try-hard.

[@popshot8898]

Only back then. Recently he's been delusional, and occasionally breaks out his catch phrases to try and feel he's still living in his glory days. Very cringe

[@Original22]

Not to mention he's a serial rapist

[@Jackcroasdale92]

Chandler should bring in artem to coach.

Chandler isn't the type of guy to start beef with his opponents anymore now he just keeps things respectful however he won't just sit back and let Connor come onto the show an say whatever he wants Chandler will stand his ground and fire back.

Cody sticking up for TJ is brilliant after what transpired.. They call him Mystic Mc, because he predicts these things!

It’s funny because of how right Conor was about TJ the whole time and they all defending TJ like nah that’s my bro😭😂

[@ItsReplayBro]

Conor is actually friends with Uriah because Conor knows deep down inside Uriah is a good person who is being taken advantage of. Conor just wanted uriah to see what TJ was doing rather than think everything is fine. That’s why Conor didn’t go to hard on uriah over it until TJ got there.

[@RideBikes_Walkplaces]

What did tj do?

[@davidcherry6439]

@@RideBikes_Walkplaces TJ was brought up by uriah out of highschool, he was in team alpha male and uriah brought in a striking coach (duane). then duane and TJ left team alpha male and went onto do their own thing. While doing this TJ was basically double dipping teams trying to seek benefits from team alpha male and duane at the same time, which is a big no-no.

[@JC7_]

Conor as a coach is super underrated. TUF 31 potential to be golden.

incredibly underrated, casual fans just don't see how smart he actually can be, hopefully he brings this mentality back.

@@dakotalowe1194 oh brother I’m sure if u asked anyone if they knew about somebody in the ufc they would say Conor mcgregor… that doesn’t mean they are invested and know the backstory of the lad, and all the things he’s been through and had to overcome. Being a fan of “mma” is completely different than being a fan of “ufc.” Casuals is the right term hands down.

Even as a diehard Khabib fan, I loved this version of Conor. He was entertainment from head to toe and really pushed the UFC even further than it already was. He really let money get to his head and lost what charisma he had.

[@Lukecartiisking]

Shutup Khabib married his cousin

[@thatrandomguycommenting1261]

He really took on the bad guy role after the Diaz 2 fight. Which fits him well i think. He can still be funny but i think hes more trying to hold up that persona

[@barbarapaparella1833]

@@thatrandomguycommenting1261 he was cool vs Cowboy and had a great performance but it was vs an older Cowboy coming off a fee losses. Even the second Dustin fight he was being nice but lost. He really doesn't need 2 fight so he must still have love 4 the sport and competition. Chandler is a tough fight imo. He just goes all it especially om the first round. Should be a great build-up.

Conor writing buttface under faber's name, and faber trying to get the chalk like a little brother is always funny Edit: then they argue in the room about fighting eachother, and ask dad if they can

[@dyschromotopia]

I think Conor genuinely respected Faber & his criticisms were essentially veiled support & subtly intended to wake Faber up & understand his pride & reputation had been attacked, to prompt Faber to stand up for himself. I think Faber was fully aware of the snide & damage that TJ had put on him but acted ignorant to avoid confronting the situation.

[@FediMayn]

Best move to bring this back
