His legacy is secure, he'll be the face of MMA for many until the day we die, he's done amazing things that were once thought impossible and he's dragged the whole game forward which future generations will be forever grateful for. Conor McGregor has become a superstar athlete and the highest paid in the world (thanks to business ventures, boosted in large part due to his popularity, which was sparked by his brash personality). Of course you never know what is going on, but if he has taken brain damage, I would urge to get help and enjoy the rest of his life with his family and bottomless pit of cash. The referee incident, the dolly, the old man and everything else happened after Floyd. Brain trauma has been linked with Anger and aggression, and perhaps that's what happened. You are right, he didn't seem his calm self where he was enjoying himself, it was usually his opponents who were getting emotional.
10 of the hardest right hands that Floyd can throw (which is hard, both Mosley and Canelo said that Floyd hits hard) is going to do some damage. Conor has a hell of a chin, and he was too tough for his own good not taking a knee or going down against Floyd, but Floyd landed about 10 loaded up right hands on him and he couldn't do anything to stop them. I genuinely think that it all kinda changed after the Floyd fight. At least Tony is so goofy that that line works for him. He talked smack to his UFC 189 opponent Chad Mendes during their fight. Conor used to be good at crafting lines, now he's busy shouting what amounts to little more than "where's your kid at" to guys like Ali who deserve proper roasts. Conor McGregors trash talk isn’t limited to interviews, press conferences, and media calls. Sure there's facts and source material to poke at but the shit he tries to slap together to make a line is done so poorly it falls apart into a steaming pile of shit. It needs to be witty still.Ĭolby's whole game is based on shitty trash talk like this and it's why everyone hates him. It's as if he thinks just stating historical facts and putting an MMA twist on them somehow makes it funny or cutting. There's jokes and cutting lines to be made about Dagestan's relations with Chechnia but that line was just terrible. It's researched but it's poorly assembled. If there's one thing us Midwest white boys do it's chill with Zulu warriors on the Savannah. It would be like if my opponent was from some African tribe and I, a white as white gets white guy from the rural Midwest, started talking about how my "good Zulu friends" were saying people from that tribe of his have glass jaws. That shit he said about the Chechins and stuff was absurd.
