Everyone copies Conor, fighters gas in the first round after USADA, cards are weaker than they used to be, there are very few prospects. It's just not interesting anymore and I used to watch every card.
Also my fav fighter is in Bellator (Mousasi)

One thing about Conor that made him a Superstar, besides his mouth, was his attitude that he could beat anyone. When Aldo dropped out 95% of the roster would have waited for a rematch, Conor fought Mendes who arguably was the worst style match up for him in the entire Division.
When he got his ass whooped by Nate, he demanded an immediate rematch even though Victory seemed impossible to us viewers. Instead of resting on the 13 second Aldo Win, He challenged RDA right away. RDA was on a roll at that time having just finished Cerrone in the 1st round
You didn't see Khabib demanding to fight Woodley after he beat Conor for instance. If Khabib did do that, the fight would be so hyped because a lot of people hate\love Khabib the same way they did Conor. Khabib vs Woodley would have been a superfight but Khabib won't risk his undefeated record.
I'll give it up for Nunes, she did what I want other fighters to do. Fight the toughest fights available, big risk big reward. Look at Mighty Mouse, he stayed at 125 and never took the risk of going up. Lost his belt without a big Fight. One the 'p4p best' didn't want to tarnish that reputation with a risk.
Conor risked everything with every fight it seemed. It's not the entire reason he blew up but even his shit talking was kind of a risk. If he got torched it's hard to come back from that. He was lucky to not Lose until his fame had surpassed it from mattering.

Mendes trained 2 weeks for that fight. He was dominating him until he gassed. Everyone knows that full camp Mendes would beat him like Khabib did. Conor was just protected, very average one dimensional fighter.

Pretty fair fight considering Conor tore his ACL again 12 weeks out, so he couldn't train fully and wasn't even 100% on fight night.
Also have to factor in when Mendes is 'not training' he's off the grid probably mid cycle. 2 weeks notice is fine when you have deep wrestling and some of that Alpha Male TJ Dillashaw juice in you.
Chad Should have easily finished the one legged striker but didn't survive 10 minutes. Don't tell me that's because of training, it never reached the 3rd round. Chad is a super athlete his cardio can carry him 10 minutes. Especially against 'an average one dimensional fighter'.
Mendes ruined his own Career by cheating. Dillashaw too. TJ has probably cheated in every fight and I wouldn't be surprised if Chad has as well. Cody let it slip that "TJ taught everyone"

The Conor fanboy/apologist arriveth.
You're not obligated to make an excuses for him or suck his dick. Dana White does that for him already. Conor is a great fighter but he's propped up, through and through.

Tony is an absolute savage. I had Cerrone winning by KO, what a beast! With any luck Porier will get hurt, and they'll schedule Tony vs Khabib for 242. Tony never lost the interim belt and has wiped out the entire Division now. Best resume ever at 155.
Dana really fucked up making that Porier Holloway fight, it was never a good idea.

Most the Cards have been great ever since the ESPN deal was signed. Valentina almost killed Jessica Eye. Jesus...what a night.

Holm is a 3 to 1 underdog. I like those odds! I think Holm has the style to beat Nunes as she's seen better punchers in her Boxing days. She knows how to not get hit. She also has the size to hold off being rag dolled. I'd still favor Nunes by TKO, but if it goes to a Decision I got Holm.
I'm really tempted to put a LEGAL bet on Holm. Bet $200 win $600...I almost favor Holly by decision but Nunes shut me up in her last fight. Nunes has struggled against technical fighters before like Shevchenko and slows down in later rounds

This fight is going to the second round easy, if not the third!

Your a damn first class Oracle!
Great prediction my man!
I am excited about Jones ~vs~ Thiago Santos!
The champion seems to feel not nervous or have a lack of nervousness about this match.
Either, Neo has joined the Matrix or what?
