Re: The Octagon
McGregor is on the downfall
surrounded by yes men, who refuse to tell him if his own shit stinks
he is no longer a title contender
he was too big to continue making featherweight where he was dominant
and is too small to be a top lightweight
the ultimate tweener, who wouldn't even be that big of a featherweight these days
his game relies on fighting long and tall
being a size bully
fighting orthodox fighters in southpaw to line up his straight left
when those advantages are taken away from him, McGregor goes full struggle bus
the higher the weight class he fights at, the less he has those advantages
hell he can't even trash talk like he used to
he's a confidence fighter who has lost his confidence
a frontrunner who folds as soon as momentum shifts against him in a fight with any real competition
he isn't hungry anymore, now that he's rich
he has only won one fight at lightweight in the last seven years
and you guessed it
it was against a short, orthodox fighter that he had a notable reach advantage on, who notoriously has a bad chin
quelle surprise
he is still a moneymaking machine
highest paid athlete in all of sports
but that is not due to his in cage abilities anymore and never was
also increasingly it is not even on his out of cage personality anymore
he gets more cringy as he falls
he shall have to soothe that pain of his broken leg, dwindling fight prowess, and reduced wit
with his vast wealth
not a bad silver lining, I suppose

Re: The Octagon
basically
McGregor is a whiskey salesman who fights on the side now
late career resurgence ain't happening
so don't get your hopes up

Re: The Octagon
McGregor gets more money for losing than many athletes will ever see for winning.
And he's still salty and bitter.

Re: The Octagon
It's been a long time since he's been a real threat. But, he puts asses in the stands with his mouth. His come back tour will do the same.

Re: The Octagon
at this point, he doesn't even have the mouth anymore
he still sells more than anyone else, but he's coasting on nostalgia for what he used to be
