I’m honestly surprised Conor is still able to attract fans.
100% abuse, rape
100% drugs
100% doping
0% fighting skills
0% role model athlete profile
UFC long ago has gone far from being sport only to more entertaining. They are no longer a place to find out which fighting style is better and who is better. In the past fighters were more unique and had unique backgrounds. Fighters went fighting because of being poor, wanted to prove something and etc. Now it is more like a fighting factory. Fighters are people who work for media and generate hype, and in between they train and fight.
In the past. Dude got hit by track. Was in coma. Half of his inside body was smashed. Doctors told he would never be able to move again. He became not only bjj black belt and multiple champion, but had mma Pride belt, series of wins. Fight 2-3 times per night. Was ready to fight anyone.
Now. Dude plays Fortnite. Enjoys life. Trains when he has time. Chooses opponents he wants to fight instead of be ready to jump in against anyone. However, he has millions of followers in social media and that makes him demanded to watch...
If Conor gets into more troubles, or gets in jail, and fights in 10 years only, he will still be one of he biggest stars, maybe even bigger than now. Bitter reality.
