absolutely. the guy never defended and never had to grind his way up. Conor's big dirty mouth is what Dana loves and he put everything in place for an easy path. look again. He's about to get an immediate title shot before Gaethje who (and many others) is ranked above that clown. Why ? Dana White.
open your eyes


Yes conor has some obvious favoritism I’ll never deny that (he still had to grind though) and I think it’s bs he’s getting this title shot, but I still don’t see how you think people won’t respect him as a great when he’s only one of four people to simultaneously hold two belts at once.

The ufc does love to market him but you also can’t market someone who is bad to that level of success. Imagine if they tried to market someone like Brendan Schaub to a two belt status. It couldn’t be done. You still have to be able to dethrone the champs and have the skill to back up the trash talk that feeds the marketing.


You’re right about the title defenses though, that doesn’t sit so well with me.

Not really




Nah


I’m not even a conor fan and it’s quite obvious he will be respected and recognized as one of the best


How can you label him one of the best when he doesn't even have 1 title defense????

It’s more a bias thing imo.

You don’t see (the same) people defend Jon Jones or Floyd Mayweather like Conor. And these men are arguably more accomplished than Conor in the same athletic field. And have just as questionable out of combat antics.

Conor is a short, white, loud mouth that is a lot more relatable to white 20-somethings.

you're right in someway but I remind you that many in here who lick conor's balls, try to tarnish GSP's legacy with assumptions and false accusations..
