@@brodyhess5553 Diaz is not the 170 champ. They even made up a belt for him and he still lost it

Only to become a bum too afraid to get back in the octagon. All started by Khabib MAULING him, then the L's started pouring in.

I think the Eddie fight cemented his status as an all time great because he needed to prove that those 13 seconds weren't just a fluke, the Diaz loss didn't hurt really because he fought a dude 2 weight divisions bigger than him and was known for being the unbreakable cardio monster but to be champ champ after that was just wild, sucks that he lost that drive that he actually shit talked Aldo about. Saying Aldo cared more about his family while fighting was the only thing Conor cared about and now he's more worried about making money and other revenue than having that hunger for fighting

This is why it's really hard ti even bring Aldo to the GOAT conversation

@@fried_tacos1587 That Eddie fight didn't cement his status lmao Aldo fight was the one changed Conor's life

@@fried_tacos1587 not really 2 divisions bigger than him, its not like mcgregor cut down to 145 to fight diaz at 170....

@@like2jo4796 you can't put Aldo in the GOAT conversation then you haven't watched his entire career. The man was destroying the WEC featherweight division (which were the best guys in the world) dominated when they came to the UFC as well. Dude beat the best of the previous generation and his generation. Sure he lost to Conor but he then went on to have a strong bantamweight run while in the twilight of his career. He even had a small run as a gatekeeper to the top of the featherweight division. Aldo is top 5 UFC champs of all time and is without a doubt the best featherweight the sport has seen. So sick of this double champ stuff meaning more than defending the belt at this point. There is a reason defending the belt for a long time is considered the hardest thing to do. It's because you have guys like Conor, Cejudo, Weidman or even Johnny Hendricks. Who are training day in and day out for years and years with the ultimate goal of beating you. Hell look at Usman vs Edwards, Edwards has been focused on beating Usman for years now and when he got his shot he pulled it off.

Never defended ever , spent more time sitting out than fighting 🤣🤣🤣

It is true that that was "The Biggest Mental Beatdown in MMA History," but because UFC/Dana allowed even racist remarks towards Aldo. Dana also had Pre-Planned this bout to happen in the good-old USA, knowing dayum well conor would get all the support. One snake supporting and feeding a frenzied racist White American mass(es). Go figure. The first fight should have taken place in Brazil, then if a rematch happened, in the USA. Yes, THESE Are the mental games that had conor winning that fight. Dana also avoided the Zingano/Ronda rematch even after Ronda PROMISSED Cat the rematch. That rematch didn't take place, nor Aldo's well deserved rematch against conor, in Brazil, because Dana-snake knew better the results would be different. But White people are very ignorant and arrogant on these matters, and their "in only 14 seconds" which of course, intellectually means there must surely be a rematch but they avoid intellect and say it deserved no rematch. Fast bouts are the ones that MUST be given rematch consideration, intellectually so.

Yup. Then he was supposed to fite desantos, ended up fiting nate in 2 WARS! But, the experiences w/nate made him such a great fiter against Eddie, I think(mentally). Like, I just had 2 wars against Nate, what the hell are YOU gonna do? His BEST fite! Yeah, then u had the CRINGY pressers w/ mayflower+ kabib, beat an old cowboy, then 2 losses to Dustin... It's probably over,especially w/that horrible bone break! Perhaps some boxing matches where he doesnt have to kick or wrestle. Hell, he's 34 now too!

The Mayweather fight was not a disappointing one at all, if it was mixed martial arts you would have torn Mayweather in half, going all of those rounds with one of the best and boxing with it only being his boxing debut should have been enough to shut everybody up right there.

For me I jumped ship after the khabib fight.. as a black man who grew up fighting a lot due to racism and prejudice, I don't tolerate or enable the kinda almost anti Muslim rhetoric he was throwing around during that fight week. It wasn't all out racist/hateful, but it definitely wasn't cool. I'm sure being from Ireland/being Irish, that wasn't of your concern, but I am interested in your take on it, no matter which side you align with. I've never been to Ireland, so idk what race relations are like there. I was definitely happy to see him get mauled the way he did after everything he said tho 😂

@@timmyturner6947 I was brought up in a family that didn't tolerate that type of behavior,we treated everybody the same regardless of race, religion,or financial status! I wish I could say that the rest of the country was the same, but there is always those people in every race who feel like they were a bigger victim than others. After moving to America to go to college I seen a huge difference, between the way that things were going between the black and white race. President Obama was choosing twice to run America, and race relations were going better than they ever had in the world. Then after president Trump gets elected to run America the Democratic politicians, started pushing the whole Russian interference scandal wich was really ridiculous and childish. Race relations were pushed back by 50 years, because the power hungry politicians and main stream media outlets wanted to go with what worked to get Obama elected. Every black super Star that was known by the entire world started endorsing Joe Biden, wich was their business but then some like LeBron James and jussie Smollett went as far as fakeing being attacked by White supremacists wich was totally messed up. I have to admit that the stuff that the Democratic party and main stream media did, worked on my dumbass even though there were certain Republicans warning us that it was a bunch of bullshit. I can't believe that I was fooled into voting for a poor old man, who should be getting tooken care of by a professional nursing staff instead of being used as a pawn for the people who are really running America. It's never going to happen again because the Democratic party, Lost more support than just me and my family and friends. Everybody I know that voted for Biden, is completely upset about how they were fooled by the Democratic politicians. Now we are all praying to God, that he doesn't get us into a nuclear war.

Actually Conor was a cheap imitation of everyone before him, the difference was you morons fell for it.

he never lost his way, you just stopped being blinded by your fandom, he's always been like this, he never *went* crazy, he was always the kind of pos that assaulted random people, flung shattered glass in bystander's eyes, that was just him being him, and a lot of people were mystified by the force of nature he was in the cage and didn't clock that kind of underlying issue until his career started to wash-out. it's kind of a similar situation to tony ferguson. he's always been unhinged, he was better at managing it before TUF, and from there his untreated mental decay just kept going as we stood by, absolutely mystified and captivated by el cucuy, only for the adoration to give way to horror when the failing career meant all we could see was the railing holding his psyche together fall apart. there are few things as frankly vile as the bus incident, or a journalist in the audience saying how strong tony had to be to go through a full psychotic break (phrased much more elegantly though,) and bounce back into the cage with poise and determination, and tony just sat there and said "fuch you, fuch your advice" to a guy that *wasn't giving him advice?* that was when people started registering that his "blades n shades" bit, and his entire persona, wasn't a persona, he's just genuinely unwell, he's not playing a character, that's just him. with covington, you know that he's just playing the heel, and it works. finding out tony is just legit in need of help, and realizing that dana "i banned a guy for wearing pink because i am a sad little man" white has been sending someone that is inches away from psychosis into the cage to be absolutely destroyed by men like chandler and gaethje? that is fuching horrifying. dana is such a dogschitte person man. his microscopic member and ego means that he won't discharge tony for his own good, but gave brock lesnar passes for roids, banned a guy for mary use, but then bent backwards to allow the diaz bros to use it. this is a bloodsport. sending someone like ferguson out is legitimately dangerous to him. it is making him worse. tbis and his alcoholism + schizophrenia is not a good mix. mcgregor should have been axed long before trying to hide two belts because he was afraid to lose, long before the bus incident, but we were all just awestruck at him. for how weird of a dude he is, he was a true master of martial arts, that nobody can deny, but this more visible connor, is the same connor, just without the shiny belts to blind us.

Martial arts is a lonely journey not for show off. Brazilians and Indians are spiritually gifted people

@@user-sm9zs7sc8u I’m not even Brazilian but this fax

@Davi Furtado I don't agree with the "weak mental" label you mention with Brazilians (I don't find many Brazilian fighters to fit that label at all, including Rickson Gracie, Vitor Belfort, Fabricio Werdum, Anderson Silva, Amanda Nunes). I think sometimes it might be a cultural thing, where people aren't raised to think/behave this way, the win at all costs/put your opponent down. Personally I do not care for this aspect of sport. There is an aspect of narcissism, sociopathy, or emotional shallowness/immaturity in some athletes, and often the fans forget this, like when Anderson Silva broke his leg when fighting Chris Weidman, I lost ALL respect at Chris Weidman's team reaction to Anderson Silva breaking his leg, in particular Matt Serra's reaction. I am sure plenty of people will rationalize Matt Serra's reaction (like it was just a 'heat of the moment reaction'), I don't subscribe to that mentality, perhaps it is because I have been seriously injured multiple times (including a serious leg injury where I was close to losing my leg when I was age 20). While I do like competition, I do not have the win at all costs mentality (living this way has it's own Dysfunction and even karmic justice comes back at you, when you live your life this way).

@@user-sm9zs7sc8u Don't worry, you guys are managing stress better. It will balance out. In about 7 years, you guys will be back on top as westerners get more toxic.

Youre making this excuse that the reason Conor struggled is because he had injured his ACL and thats why the fight was close. Youre forgetting that Mendes is an elite fighter too. Thats why im saying youre overestimating Conor because you seem to be so sure that Conor would beat Chad in a 2nd and I feel you believe it would be an easy fight.
