Gregor McConor has the physique of someone who has definitely improved his cardio.

Hopefully he can still make 155, I don’t see him having success at higher weight classes.

[@shahidabdoullakhanzorovr1564]

At least he'll get to see them again once he wakes up.

What sucks even more is that he couldn’t tell his friends/family if he won or how he lost til they watched the show 😂

[@AnthonyHogeback]

Ya that’s hilarious man. 💀 watching this dude sacrifice and chase his dreams and then he failed for the world to see 💀. That statement is why fighters don’t give af about people’s opinions, have no clue what it took to even get there, and the hardships it puts on ur life. For you to then think it should be a joke and laughed at.

I don't think he rushed... He took a nasty combos and wasn't prepared for that...

He didn't rush at all.

@Bush ain’t that the same thing all of you have said because it’s all you can say? Still isn’t good enough and Did you know Conor’s coming back to take the belts and that there’s nothing you can do about it?🤔

[@jhcamhtc]

I think Conor is actually a really good coach. And yes I’ve seen all 30 seasons of TUF and coaches don’t always attend the weigh ins. Some don’t even attend the fights so that’s just a talking point. 😂 I like Chandler also, so I’m excited for the rest of the season.

[@Shiny101]

If you've actually watched all 30 seasons then tell me a coach who skipped the fights and didn't lose? I'll wait

[@Frank941]

It’s just marketing. Connor is a terrible coach! He has a great mind and good genetics, but when it comes to actual training that has always been his weak spot. Strength, conditioning and technique has evolved past Connor.

[@ccprophets]

You are full of S***

[@rejachemno]

​@@TehUltimateSnake There was a coach who missed one fight or two due to having some kind of family emergency or something like that. Think it was JDS or Rampage or Rashad. Can't recall

The way Conor training to his team is very special.

[@reiner164]

Conor is the definition of “work hard play hard”. He probably finished this session off with a dozen lines and half a bottle of whiskey.

[@wasteoftimehere]

And that is why he hasn't won a fight in seven years (unless you think beating up a retired cowboy counts for something)

[@ShutUpBubi]

Sad to see Nate go out the way he did especially with his family on his mind. Head up high bossman

Conor seems like a good coach and you can definitely tell he still has passion. I would love to see the dude make a crazy comeback but I just don’t know if his heart is still just being in the octagon itself. He’s got nothing to prove and he’s made millions. The question is what left does he need to do?

"Don't rush nothin'" shoulda listened to Coach Conor

[@Xenamos]

Knew this kid was getting smoked instantly. These bjj “specialists” really need to stop fighting before they actually round out their game. Their striking and defense is always horrible to the point if they go in with any slick fast striker they get KOd quickly without any resistance and they are not that good at grappling that it’s an actual threat in their opponents minds as to allow them to strike more freely. You have seen it 100 times.
