No doubt about it: Conor McGregor is the most talked about fighter in MMA today. Ronda’s loss to Holly Holm in November took a lot of the winds out of her sails, and few other fighters are truly stars today. Jon Jones may capture a fair bit of the spotlight when he returns to action this year, but for now there is one true star in MMA, and that’s Conor McGregor.
But that begs a question: why do you watch him fight? I have to admit my own feelings have fluctuated on Conor over the last year, mainly as a backlash against the overwhelming support he’s received (people are calling him the G.O.A.T. already, and he hasn’t even defended his belt once – come on).
But he gets people talking. At a certain point, people were clearly watching Ronda to see her lose, and that’s clearly the case for a good portion of the MMA community regarding Conor. Our question is: which camp do you fall in to? Vote below and tell us why in the comments!
