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

[StCapps]

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

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

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.

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
