'Nuff Respect as we say here in T-Dot lol......and you are right, BOTH sides of the coin are fanning the flames which keeps Mac more relevant than he deserves to be. He has been exposed period, if a Nate diaz can take you into deep water there are more dangerous sharks that will drown you completely (nothing against Nate) and if you dont know that you are a casual fan and dont understand the game so in that regard I think I see where you are coming from and its not casual-ville ;)

Paulie was right about one thing, Mac is a quitter. He has your typical bully mentality when everything is going well he is dominant but as soon as he faces adversity he looks for a way out, he just wants to press reset and restart until he has the advantage. I truly believe this and his coach Kav has spoken about how he has to approach Conor's psyche delicately (he said thats why they did the mural of him KO'ing Mayweather), not the halImark of a champ who truly believes he is the best. To compare to our buddy :) he has twice the skill but only half the heart of Michael Bisping and thats real.   Bisping @ 38 still wont tap lol........

I do think he truly is a beast @ 145 where he is a longer boxer who can keep wrestlers at bay but he struggles to cut.........@ 155 there are wrestlers/grapplers long enough to get in on him and take his ass down for a classic beating.......Mac should be training 80% BJJ/Wrestling right now to round out his game instead of more focus on boxing because you can only get so far with one style, the "specialist" days are over even Maia has to box a little lol. Mac doesnt care to be the best "Mixed Martial Artist".........I am passionate about the entire game, about the new breed of Martial Arts which is taking the best of everything and making the "skeleton key" of fighting........about the kids taking Wrestling one day, striking another day and becoming the true ultimate fighters. I am dying for UFC to strip his ass but I know that does not make business sense.......might as well watch the Bellator HW series lol.....

CanadianOracle I think the trend of hating Conor is more popular amongst casuals right now. He obviously has weaknesses that a great grappler could possibly exploit, but until he gets worked over in a real LW fight, we don't know how big the whole in his game really are. If he was a ducker, he wouldn't have taken the Diaz fight in the first place. He went from a title shot a division above his, to a nothing to gain (except money) fight 2 divisions up. I won't defend his ego or him putting financial gains over defending his belt, but his talent is undeniable, and he does have the spirit of a great fighter. He just got caught up in money and fame, but I will reserve my judgement until we see how he handles Ferguson. Look for me in the crowd this Saturday. UFC back in my home town for the first time since Ken Shamrock vs Dan Severn.
