@@Vulture2918 lol it's hilarious how triggered you casuals get about McGregor and his mediocre skills. He dominated FW because he was taller and had a long reach over everyone in the FW division. He won ONE FIGHT at LW and lost all the rest. 2 of the losses were to Poirier. Cerrone was a joke, he should have been retired 5 years before he fought McGregor. McGregor beat Halloway when Max was a teenager, he was still a rookie. Khabib? You better watch that fight again, Khabib kicked McGregor's ass. lol don't be so sensitive man you casuals can't take honest criticism of your hero.

I like Conor. In a world where individuality is near extinction, the man is always a fresh breathe of air when he talks, walks, and does things. We all go through various stages in our lives. I hear...I miss the old Conor quite a bit. Here's the thing about that...that version still exists within him, but he has evolved in every category, as we do, which in turn leads to a change that can be visually perceived by others, but not quite fully understood. Random Side Note: I love the team color as well...the black and light blue/turquoise is sick.

Sure Conor took it to another level, but to say he made the sport is ludicrous. Chuck Liddell, Anderson Silva, Brock lesnar, Ronda Rousey, so on and so forth all contributed before conor was a household name.

Go watch Diego Sanchez vs Clay Guida or Forrest Griffin vs Sefan Bonnar if you want to watch a great fight.

The Conor Era was incredible. But I can't help but hear how much and how often he refers to "getting back" to being immersed or back to being fully dedicated.

He completed his dream, since he got both belts you can say he only got worse. Im glad he's fighting and involved in the UFC because it just feels magic when he's active, but I don't think he's ever gonna have that drive or will power again.
