Man that press conference was a bummer. Just a shell of his former self, no wit, just canned corny lines and you can sense it’s all not real. He would have been better off dropping the act and saying how he really feels the fight sells itself no antics needed. Im hoping he proves me wrong and performs well but I think it’s over for the guy
Let’s wait for the fight, kids…
It was always canned corny lines… His patter has always been shit…
Seriously… He always just sounded like a bully with learning difficulties.
Yes, it’s no different than his presser vs Khabib.
R.I.P
Reminded me of Ronda acting a fool against Holly Holm because her whole world was collapsing.
Exactly. I said this in the presser thread. He used to actually use trash talking to expose mental weakness in people and gain a massive edge on them people before the fight even started. That shit today was so staged and weak. You can’t blame the guy with all of the money he has but he mailed it in a long time ago.
People only ever thought hes clever cause of his cute accent. Hed a dumbass.
Both Connor and the questions from those cheerleader journalists were beyond pathetic.
Speaking of accent, he was playing it up worse than Mackenzie Dern today. I guess because he had nothing clever to say so he just talked loud and obnoxious. He got owned by the dude who asked him why he’s only won one fight since Obama was in office.
Let’s be honest, Dana prob told Conor the early numbers for buys and projections look bad. Asked him to “spice it up” with shit talk to get more buys, which Conor gets a percentage of. So he agreed reluctantly as a business decision. It’s all about the money for Conor at this point. Those lawsuits don’t pay for themselves.
‘‘Your wife is your husband’’ was the best thing he could have come up with and it totally backfired since Dustin flipped the script on him with that. I realize he and the UFC are in the money making business more so than the fight business but minus casuals the vast majority of people can see when someone is going through the motions and trying to manufacture something that isn’t there.
This is by far the least excited I have ever been for a McGregor fight. ‘‘It’’ just isn’t there with him anymore. He is always capable of landing a clean left early and winning but it’s easy to watch today and see who is focused on making money and who is focused on fighting.
It’s sad seeing Conor like this. I actually want him to win because I truly feel sorry for him.
Haha whatd Dustin say back?
He has hundreds of millions of dollars, you probably shouldn’t feel bad for him.
Right, I dont feel sorry for alcoholic cokehead millionaires that rape women, assault elderly men, are deadbeat dads, refuse to marry their gf of a decade they cheat on in public, and disrespect and insult everyone.
Conor is the EXACT SAM. The only difference is that people see through it now. It’s always been shit. He’s the biggest fugazi since Roussey
