Message: [QUOTE="underdog140, post: 3333590, member: 45060"] I am not bitter towards McGregor .. I don't get personal over sports. I am just calling it as I see it. He is a great self promoter and despite being shown lots of favoritism and favorable match ups / favorable circumstances that surrounded some of his high profile fights , he still needed to get the win against some tough opponents and he did that. He gets the opportunities he gets based on one thing ... he makes the ufc lots of $$$$ .. No other reason. Lets not pretend like he earned the FW title shot and a LW title shot. He didn't earn it based on accomplishments. He got it because of the Money he can generate for the company. 1. His dual championship is a fraud. ( Unless he goes back down and defends ) He moved on from the FW division 3 fights ago. You can't be a champion in a division you don't fight in. 2. I guess if you define success with $$$$ then I guess this is true. I would argue that what GSP and Anderson have done make them more successful accomplishment wise than what Conor has done. 3. It wouldn't surprise me any if he gets labeled the current #1 P4P fighter. He still has lots to do before I see him as such. He is no Anderson Silva or GSP. Two or three title defenses vs contenders who earned the shot would do it for me. The only great performance I seen was his most current win. It was very impressive. His other top profile fights were against a short notice Mendes and two fights vs a win one lose one fighter. Plus a quick KO of Aldo. ____________________________________________________________ People can spin it anyway they want ... Diaz was given little chance vs Conor in the first fight. Of course some media will pick Diaz. It's the Media .. Majority gave Diaz little chance. [/QUOTE]
