Conor is quite simply the biggest star, largest personality, and the most exciting fighter in the UFC
While there are fighters that I feel may be more talented (Anderson Silva, Jon Jones, Demetrius Johnson) The way that Conor has built his brand is even more appealing than one of the most famous trash talkers of all time in Chael Sonnen Whose Daughter Passed Away Sadly Very Recently
Conor is 100% polarizing. You are either watching this fight to cheer him on or rooting for him to be absolutely dominated and taken down a notch. If Conor does win this may make for the most exciting 3rd matchup that I can think of.
Nate is not an eloquent speaker, but there is no questioning his hard work. Nate and Nick are both quite entertaining to watch, regardless of their records. They always bring 100% even if they are outmatched.
Conclusion: don't make other plans Saturday night.
Absolutely! Get a bunch of guys/gals together, chip in a few bucks and watch the PPV or go out to a bar with other UFC fans.
Having watched the Holly Holm vs Ronda Rousey fight live at a local bar, I can attest that there is not anything quite like an amazing knockout from a complete underdog.
This fight could go one round or the distance. I think Conor will switch his game plan and be more tactical and less aggressive early on and feel Nate out. I think he will prevail, but Nate will not go down without an incredible effort on Conor's part.
I've moved firmly into the "Demetrious Johnson is the greatest fighter of all time" camp. But Conor, the best trash talker and more exciting fighter, who is willing to move around to any weight class taking superfights...how can he not be someone's favorite fighter? Even if they disagree with stuff he says (he is fucking brilliant)
Sad news about Chael's daughter, saw it pop up on frontrowbrian's twitter feed.
Yes I wholeheartedly agree. And could you imagine the talk that would go on social media and in person if Chael and Conor fought? It would be a gold mine.
He has a chest tattoo of a gorilla wearing a crown and eating a heart!
