Dai Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Im not on Twitter, can you see what the result is for that poll yet or have to wait? Â I know its all McGregor click bait, but nearly every day recently on my news feed I have a story about how amazingly different Conor's physique is compared to a few years back, always backed up with a shitty 'before' pic of him training, and a professionally lit 'after' pic. Even with that, I cant really see a difference at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 11, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 11, 2021 To be fair to Conor, he's always looked in top nick. Even out of camp he seems to stay in shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame because Conor was coming across really well in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted January 14, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 14, 2021 Apologies if I'm crossing my wires, but is this the same interview where he says that he's "Not surprised Khabib scurried away"?  Rent free.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 14, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 14, 2021 Ha. I havenât even watched it, to be honest. And I wonât. But I doubt Iâd think he comes across well regardless. Even if heâs not talking cobblers about Khabib being scared shitless of him, I find his fake humble/Iâm a nice guy really act is just as annoying because it feels so disingenuous. I had a belly full of it in the build up to the Cerrone fight. Iâll watch his fights but I just donât want to hear anything heâs got to say anymore. Ever again. But yeah, rent free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kfogg1991 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 It's back up now. I mean there is always a level of bullshit and bravado with Conor but he does seem way more humble and focused than I've seen him in the last 4/5 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite his legion of arse lickers and top knot cammandos, his reputation has rightly taken an absolute battering the last few years. He can do all the charity work and kiss as many babies as he likes, but if he was as humble and 'a new man' as many would believe, he'd stop acting as if he's won some sort of moral victory over Khabib. Especially considering the circumstances of his retirement and his mother's wishes. His management team have obviously tried to highlight whatever positives he has, but he's so thin skinned that any talk of Khabib has him spouting the same old shit. I kinda actually hope Khabib does come back just to school him again, purely just to see the fallout.  "Philanthropy is the best form of marketing" - Stephanie McMahon and Conor Mcgregor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 14, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) @Scott Malbranque yeah that whole press conference was one big cringe. How any grown adult came out of that thinking he wasnât a complete knob and an embarrassment is truly beyond me. 31 minutes ago, Kfogg1991 said: but he does seem way more humble and focused than I've seen him in the last 4/5 years He canât be any more âhumbleâ than he was in the run up to the Cerrone fight. Christ, they were practically flirting. And focused? Itâs funny but how come whenever Conor wins heâs this unstoppable machine but when he loses itâs because he wasnât focused or motivated? Itâs never just that the other guy was better than him. Honestly, itâs worse than the Cain Velasquez excuses for me now. I heard Dana spouting off the other day about how this is the âreal, motivated Conorâ or some pish. Why would he have not been motivated for the Khabib fight? That was a massive, massive fight against the biggest rival of his career. There was bad blood and a load of shit talk going in. It was the two best Lightweights on the planet at that time so it was a true battle to crown the #1. A proper legacy fight. He had zero reason to lack motivation. It was the biggest fight of his MMA career to date, and probably of his whole career when allâs said and done. And he got battered. So now itâs being spun as if a lack of motivation or focus was to blame. Fuck, even after that press conference which Scottyâs gif is from, I clearly remember people acting like Conor âwonâ that whole thing, that he was âin Khabibâs headâ and that Khabib âlooked like he was shitting himselfâ. All the usual things we heard before his big wins over Aldo and Mendes and Diaz and so on. I even remember some of that talk before the Mayweather fight! McGregor fans had convinced themselves that he was going to just swat aside Khabibâs takedowns and smash him to bits. It didnât happen, he got crushed and now itâs been retconned into him not being himself, he wasnât focused, wasnât motivated, his FOOT WAS A BALLEWN etc etc. Thatâs the complete opposite of the tune being sung before the fight. All Iâm reading at the moment is how good Conor looks (he looks 50), how motivated he sounds, how Poirierâs going to be gone in 60 seconds. He might well win. Iâm certainly not confident one way or the other on the outcome of this fight. But just watch if Poirier gets it done, how the narrative will change over the following weeks and months. Suddenly itâll be back to Conor wasnât himself, he was injured, unmotivated, his milkman had COVID and he was upset and distracted. Itâll be something. If people can watch the thorough arse kicking he took from Khabib and headfuck themselves into believing he wasnât right, heâd win the rematch, Khabibâs terrified etc then thereâs no limit to their delusion. Edited January 14, 2021 by wandshogun09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
