Conor is such a natural fighter that he’d rather be back in the UFC than a movie star lmao. He could have it all but it’s literally easier for him to fight than create movies. Still can’t wait to see the movie!

[@SBAssociation]

Wym have it all?! LOL Conor changed the MMA game he does have it all! It’s his heart and warrior spirit that keeps going. Also having to make movies while already being a multi millionaire I bet movies isn’t the most intriguing thing for him

Was not expecting this. That's the version of Conor that we want to see. And it when you do see it, it's hard to believe that that isn't the real Conor. This version rings true. The rest is all noise. Really looking forward to seeing him back in the octagon. Legend.👊

[@michaelscott6357]

The problem is that he cannot back up the trash talk when it comes to fighting the REAL best fighters. I can respect his run in the UFC, but do I think he will hold a belt? HELL NO! GSP can come back now and become a contender, same with Jones and Khabib. Conor is NOT that guy....
