@mikelovestacos ha!!!!! No ko in a rematch ?? your one delusional hater  ! I feel sorry for you. I guarantee you were one of the ones "there's no way he'll beat  top 15er (poirer) there's no way he'll beat a wrestler (mendes) there's no way he'll beat aldo.  It's okay homie its not even about mcgregor for you, you just wish u  were irish(maybe in ur next life if ur lucky) We're an underdog race that just keeps overcoming n rebuilding no matter the squashing we get. deal with it.

When irish first showed up on the east coast of America in the building times we were on the bottom , literally slave status coming from a post apocalyptic famine ravaged wasteland, shunned and spat on by the already established societies of USA East coast. Within 50 years irish went from slave status to one of the dominant forces in American politics and all classes of American society. Hate on the underdogs all you want but it just fuels fires

I'm not a Conor hater. I don't mind Conor as a fighter. My issue with him is his fanbase, which consists of ******s like yourself. 

A 13-second win does not make you a better fighter. Actually, if Conor had outclassed Aldo for 25 minutes it would have been more impressive than a 13-second KO. That does not PROVE Conor is the better fighter. It proves that you shouldn't get stupid and run into the best counter-puncher in your division. 


We've seen this plenty of times before. Serra beat GSP quick. It was proven Serra is not the better fighter. Dos Santos beat Cain quick, but it was proven Dos Santos was not the better fighter. Arlovski starched Tim Sylvia then went on to fight him 3 more times, his record against him is 1-2-1NC.


I hate sounding like I'm discrediting Conor for what he did. He beat Aldo in seconds. It speaks for itself and is obviously impressive, but in the end it leaves more questions than answers.

And I'm not a fan of Mcgregor I know him personally and have helped him with his grappling  (I'm doing judo /wrestling for years) and I used to do his boxing classes way back even before his Duffy loss! (Joined sbg in early 2009)

For some reason saying "you know that hardworking guy with otherworldly talents who has a large cult following, obliterated the best fighters in the UFC's deepest division, is clearly  spending a lot of time on fixing the very few flaws that his game still has and could be on his way to becoming one of the greatest fighters ever? Considering his size advantage, I think he beats McGregor." gets you labeled as a "hater" nowadays.

No one called me a "Velasquez hater" when I picked Werdum to beat him. Hell, no one called me a "Jon Jones hater" when I picked Chael to beat him, and that might be the worst prediction I've ever made. People saying that Dos Nachos would destroy McGregor really shouldn't be viewed as more than a simple, inconsequential prediction that would be backed by the betting odds if that fight ever happened (and it probably won't. Keep that in mind.)
