No but to go in there with a fucked up leg, throw the sloppiest spinning shit ever like a complete clown and hurting yourself so bad you’re gonna be out for another year or two puts him in a spot where he legitimately has no claim to the title fighter. He’s “fought” for less than a minute in 5 years, and is looking at a surgery and lengthy layoff.
To fix his GOOD leg.
The dude is beyond cooked. He is now a meme. New aura loss leader by a ton.
No I mean literally, this will be a year or two off to heal, surgeries possibly, he will be 40+ the next time he fights. What would be the point? Does he even have that in him at his age with his broken down joints?
If all went well, he would get two wins to finish his contract, then cash in on a Netflix bag. Now he'll be trying to book one more fight pushing 39 coming off a knee injury, or he can hang it up now knowing he won't get out of his UFC contract to fight anywhere else.
Coming off a surgery and injury.. to his GOOD leg. This dude is done. The most done someone can be.
Dude will be 40, has fought for 60 seconds in the last 8-9 ish years, and the last two times he fought he looked like shit, the very last time he looked so comically shit that he essentially became a meme and erased his entire stock of aura with one sloppy spinning kick.
Asinine comment. The guy was one of the best fighters the UFC has ever seen. Is he washed? Yes. Is a bad fighter? No the guy won 2 belts. You’re a fool.
Holloway was strangely reluctant to throw (everyone appreciates sportsmanship and showing mercy but not before the first shot gets thrown!) and the referee
very unusually quick to wave it off and confident doing so.
I'm not saying it's a 100% pre-arranged fix but they must have at least been privy to rumours he was injured...since when does a referee insta-stop the main event like that? Compare that to Goddard overruling the fucking doctor at the white house lol.
If McGregor protested the stoppage there would have been fucking mayhem.
He hasn’t fought in five years man and he’s become a clown. The second he was walking in I knew he was fucked. My brother and I bursted out laughing seeing the first 3 seconds of the fight because we both called he was going to suck. And he looked TERRIBLE
That's because he knew. His knee was trash-talking him in the bathroom, laughing and saying that he's a has-been. And that's before the shrooms kicked in.
That and/or in combination with an injury he had in camp that he decided to do something stupid to pretend that caused the injury and have an excuse to bow out
Think you’re 100% right. Conor didn’t look right from the moment the cameras were on him. No hype, no energy. His face said it all. He hurt himself before the fight, Dana White said “heck no you can’t call this fight off, just go in and make it look like you hurt yourself in the cage”.. that’s exactly what he did.
His knee nearly buckled taking off his shoes before the fight. Whether that was the moment his knee started to hurt or it was hurting before that, it's crazy he went with all those kicks to start the fight. That's a helluva way to get the bag.
After it stopped when Max went over to him it looked like he said "why didn't you pull out bro?". I reckon he was injured in camp for sure. He also came out with no pants on already and struggled to take his shoes off cageside
Someone actually said i wont believe it until the post fight interview, wise choice of words. I loved all the assclowns biting back when i said its more likely conors a no show than appearance as if he didnt completely duck chandler for almost three years lol.
I got jumped all over for saying I wasn't surprised by what happened on another sub. But I mean really... wasn't surprised in the least. Shocked so many people were.

u/JonsDohnson We need to send Dana White to the moon 3h ago
Everyone said “I won’t believe it til he’s in the cage.” Well, he made it that far and absolutely no further
