yall must've not been watching the fight. Don't get me wrong. He has already been exposed. They were just totally stroking him and hyping him up. Sure he has good offense but his defense is garbage. I shouldn't have to point this out

McGregor is becoming God tier at digging himself holes he cannot climb out of.
Dustin kicking his leg was a bitch move. Conor opens up with a hundred kicks.
Submissions dont count. The moment Dustin closes in McGregor tries to submit him.
Dustin is leaving on a stretcher. Conor leaves on a stretcher.
Always humble in victory or defeat. ???

Dustin wasn't exactly humble in his victory.

Lol what are you talking about? You clearly didn't watch the fight if you think his defense was good. He got clocked a bunch of times by a last second bum. Yall really drinking the koolaid on this guy and putting the blinders on for some reason. Smolka woulda been far more interesting than random green hair dude that managed to do a way better job than anyone would've expected. Congrats to him for making offensive records while beating on a human punching bag that shouldn't have been in the octagon I guess. There was nothing to learn here about him. It is like watching a professional football team crush a highschool team that somehow managed to score a couple touchdowns in the process. This stuff should really be self explanatory. His loss versus Marlon Vera was very revealing. Especially since Vera lost to Aldo afterwards... an Aldo way past his prime.
Side note: I was on point with my picks as expected. Maybe not the way I was hoping Conor went out.

The always humble thing is just a quote Conor said about himself a few times in the build up. If he had been I think it would have served him much better.

I think Rogan interviewing him in that moment was pretty poor form

I always wondered what happens when somebody is knocked out in the first round. Do the fans get some compensation for having their fun get cut short? Pay cash money for a massive PPW and it ends in the first round

You mean like UFC 194 when it ended in 13 seconds?

Minus the snark. What the fuck happened to Connor's ankle? Weak bones? Lack of Supplements and or diet? Partying? Checked kick? Combo of all?

As expected. Conor going full trash too. Pulling glove to get up while Dustin points to & asks Herb to do his JOB.
Impressed by the guy that beat Ryan Hall. He had a plan & followed it perfectly to the win. Expected from a Firas fighter.

Also loving the comments on youtube from all of the McGregor supporters that were saying that Dustins dominance in round one was just another Chad Mendes. These people are ridiculous or just trolls lol

are in a big trouble
As a fellow irishman im delighted he lost the fight. He's after turning into an absolute nacker.
Ever since the bus incident he just started getting more and more like a fucking scumbag.
At first it was great to watch someone to represent Ireland in the UFC but stuff he's said and done many people don't like him anymore. Also I personally believe he's found of the bag

I don't know which UFC fight it was that really piled him the big bucks, but I'd guess it was around the Nate Diaz days when his pay days got huge. Then add in $100s of millions he made off that shit whiskey he sold (he sold off his shares recently for $600 million split across people), the Mayweather fight that supposedly made him another $100 million, and now he's just a clown who knows how to make money.
His fighting days were over 5 years ago. His recent fights (aside from the over the hill Cerrone fight) are not even close.
But he knows how to promote, knows being a rebel ass gets lots of fans who like smack talkers (especially fighting irish followers), and he could lose 10 matches in a row and still be a top card fight money.
He reminds me Kobe Bryant his last few years in the NBA. The guys performance dropped like a rock as he was getting injured and old where he was shooting 35%, yet still loved by fans and making the allstar game.

I've recently been hearing more and more Irish people saying they see him as an embarrassment because of how he acts
I just heard about this the other day
Pretty scummy to bar a guy from his local over your dented ego

You assumed that I'm an illegal streamer because I've never purchased a PPV? Nah son, the entire fight is often available on BT Sport's Youtube channel a couple days after so what's the point?

We don't have a ton of sports stars so it was really good to see one dominating but ultimately he's let us down with his poor attitude and acting like a complete scumbag. Maybe one day when he's older he will understand kinda the why Tyson has in his old age

So you're saying playing touch ass in the park with your motion coach isn't part of a well balanced camp?

Anderson Silva was never the villain. He had arrogance from time to time but it was more like Muhammed Ali than Conor McGregor. Silva still bowed and showed respect unless he was completely disrespected by his opponent.
Jones only really became this way with DC. Something about DC that brought out the darkside of the force from Jones. Otherwise, prior to that he was amazing to watch up and coming. Real shame Jones ended his own career prematurely.
I really couldnt consider those 2 to be comparable to Conor. Not even really Tito... Tito was just a cocky douchebag and really dumb.
With all that said... Conor was amazing to watch up and coming. Like someone said in here earlier. He really lost it at the bus incident.

His wife told him "break a leg" before the fight.

Meh, Connor you can’t be that inactive a beat the top 155 guys with any regularity. Connor has good coaches, but he needs a coach to be straight with him. He’s a better martial artist than Dustin imo, but he’s not beating anyone loading up his left hand and stalking for a big shot. Watching Connor fight Alvarez, he was a great counter puncher, always changing levels and attacks. He’s predictable now. When you’re cocky and trash talk people just delight in your losses.

This is such a strange take, you only feel like "you got your money's worth" if a fight lasts 5 round?I always wondered what happens when somebody is knocked out in the first round. Do the fans get some compensation for having their fun get cut short? Pay cash money for a massive PPW and it ends in the first round
It was a disappointing end but only because the fight was really interesting and the round had almost ended allowing for a reset. Not because it was a dud of a fight at all.
I won't even mention some of the other fights that were awesome including Tuivasa doing endless shoeys with scrubs in the crowed after his KO

People are out here paying top dollar to see two of the best in the business have at each other for 2-3 rounds at least. To have it end in the first is some embarrassing and disappointing shit. Usually the main event is the cake and the additional fights are the cherry, but this time around the main card and preliminaries were the entire cake.
