Re: Conor McGregor retires
Awesome.
Lots of salt in this thread. The Diaz Bros are fuckin' legends. I don't think people appreciate how tough it is to be consistently relevant for over a decade like these dudes were. Conor didn't do it yet.
Nick tapped Gomi at 160 when he was the consensus best lightweight in the world. He KO'd Robbie at 170, which is impressive since that was the only time it's happened in over 35 fuckin' fights, many of which were wars against some heavy hitters at 170/185. Nate beat most of the guys they put in front of him, and they put a lot of good-really good fighters in front of him.
But while McGOAT has a padded record, he still KO'd Aldo and Mendes at the end of it all. You can't take that away from him. If he's smart enough to demand a lot of money and if he doesn't get it then to promote his own show, I'd support that 100%. I like that Mayweather is promoting a show too, bring some competition into this arena. That will increase fighter pay.
