He may win again. But he can NEVER say he's the greatest again

How cant he? Gsp lost and is considered one of the greatest, Silva lost, Fedor lost Ali Lost of course he will go down as one of the ATG, mystic mac is a joke to people that genuinely believed it to being with...

That was a nothing punch that caught mcgregor stepping backwards and knocked him off balance. In fact it isn't even counted as a knockdown.

Look a second after that. The running knee is more so what I'm referring to.

For that running knee to nearly take his head off it would have to land and it wasn't even near McGregor's head.

The state of that comment. Missed him by a fraction with it. In other words he nearly hit it... which is what the original comment said. So calm down with your lol and thinking you know what people think. Also, don't particularly care who won or lost, I've a very casual interest in the sport so not willing anything. Better man won on the night regardless of what you or I say.

It hit McGregor in the arm. It wasn't close to hitting his head.

So he missed him yet nearly took mcgregors head off?
So basically you're saying that McGregor nearly took Khabibs head off with the punches he threw?

Wheeliebin30 · 10-10-2018 8:05pm

Khabib never lost a round in 27 professional fights,

McGregor took round 3.

Anyone who knows the sport can see he wasn’t as bad as people are making out and done a lot better on the ground than most who fought Khabib.

Yes he was beaten fair and square.

But hey it’s now fashionable to hate on Mcgregor and say he got mauled( buzzword for people who never watch mma) because that’s what Khabib does.

I don't think it's fashionable to hate him, but it's definitely fashionable to act like the suffered the greatest, most embarrassing, and most one-side loss in MMA history....when none of those things are remotely true. A top class fighter lost to the best in the world at the moment, didn't show the great striking he's known for but did show surprisingly decent groundwork against the best animal in the game (most casual viewers wouldn't appreciate the significance of this either).

It was a defeat but nothing else, doesn't particularly change most peoples views of McGregors fighting abililty, or tell us anything we didn't already know. He was the underdog in the fight from the start.

I don’t think you get it.

We don’t care how well he lost. The fact is he lost, when he went on and on and on and on and on how he was going to win. He did the same with Mayweather.

He hasn’t won a fight in years now. As far as I’m concerned he’s just full of himself. His words don’t reflect his actions.

3 fights in 2 years and he won 1 and lost 2.

He’s washed up alright.

2.5 million ppvs.

Whatever about his fighting no one can argue that he gets bums in seats.

And do you think that’s going to continue if he loses the next fight(if there is a next one)?

Hes been strutting around on past glories.

Of course his gonna go on about how his gonna win...were you expecting him to talk about how he ll lose?

He lost to to 2 of the most elite combat athletes in the world, one in a sport he never competed in. Saying his 2 and 1 in his last 3 doesnt quite tell the full story accurately.

Do you actively try to deny reality ? his words and actions are reflected in PPV sales, which is the name of the game in prize fighting... the hints in the name.

10-10-2018 8:52pm

Hopefully the last weekend will quieten him anyway..

Of course he did. McGregor is all about the promotion. Not saying I support his antics/behavior, but it's what he does....and signs on it, he's now one of the best known fighters in the world across any sport.

It's not because he's the best in the world, he's just a great fighter who's had a business plan since day one that's paid off, and then some.

He's actually transcended the sport to become a global celebrity. He is the face of MMA to the average joe. Even your granny would know who he is, even if she still doesn't know what MMA is.

Only a fool thought he would beat Mayweather. Personally I wouldn't even count that as a loss...McGregor won in so far as he made an utter fortune, that was only ever his aim. All the talk was to achieve that, McGregor probably didn't even expect to do as well as he actually did....even if Mayweather gave him an easy ride.

His record is 21-4 with 18 KO's against some of the best in the division. No matter what way you look at it, he's a good fighter.

So yeah, he lost to Khabib, fair and square, but so what. That's the fight game, happens the best....except Khabib so far, incidentally.

I don’t want excuses. I want to see him win… like he says he wil… but ends up losing. He struts around like he’s cock of the walk. But he’s only proved that he’s turned into a feather duster.

If he put into his training as much as he puts into his “act” he might win the next fight. He’s been found wanting.

He lost to arguably the best fighter on the planet right now. He hasn't been found wanting at all.

You guys defending McGregor just don’t get it. It’s not the fact that he lost. It’s the way he goes about… and then lost.

If he was humble… even a little bit. But right now the only thing he’s notorious for is flapping his lips.

Still no verification he said it’s only business and if he did it’s what he has always said all through his ufc career.

And if he didn't flap his lips, do you think almost 2.5 million people would have tuned in to watch him lose?

The fact is. McGregor struts about like he’s hot shît. The fact of the matter is… he lost twice now to fighters that are much hottter shït than him. They didn’t have to stoop to his level of gutter entertainment and proved their worth in the ring/octagon.

I might not be into sports but I think I understand what a sportsman is better than you.

You have a very narrow and basic understanding of what a sportsman is. He might be a sports professional. He might be good at his chosen sport. That doesn’t make him a sportsman.

He demands respect without giving it. He doesn’t respect his opponents. He doesn’t respect his sport. If he did he wouldn’t carry on like he dose. He might bring in the crowds with his crassness. With his casual racism. With his flashy outfits and fast cars. Still doesn’t make him a sportsman.

A sportsman wouldn’t behave like he does. A sportsman wouldn’t be arrested for destroying property and threading people.

No. He’s definitely not a sportsman.

Do yourself and all of us a favour and look at how he reacts to his opponents after every single fight.

Yes even after the Khabib fight, he sat and took his loss like a man until all the other nonsense happened and I am sure he would have offered a handshake after Khabibs hand was raised.
