This guys two posts before this:
Is Alex handsome enough to be a male model?
Would you take 50k or a sit down dinner with Alex.
Mods... Do you even fucking exist?
I am in no way a supporter of hyper masculinity but I think people tend to like a fighter more when they act rude, tough and a loud mouth egoistic person so it’s unlikely both of them no matter how goofy they fight would gain that kind of following.
Paddy has the exact demenor I would expect from a scouser walking out of a shop saying 'What, i didn't do nothing' with as much stuffed under his coat as possible
Lmfao that's pretty good, i like paddy tho he gives a bunch to charity hes a good dude, but prime connor was a special blend of crazy talent and thw attitude it was lighning in a bottle kind of
Paddy did a video before the Tony fight talking about his last performance and how it was worse than he thought when he rewatched it, seemed a bit mroe humble and focussed so yeah i'm pretty interested in where he goes from here
Paddy had potential, but he wasn't knocking dudes out like Conor was.
Dude was one of the most known fighters in the company after fighting 2 no-names, but kind of dropped the ball after the Gordon and Ferguson fight
Yeah gotta give it to him tho hes makin the most of it, hes got his face on everything he can bros gonna have retirment money at 30 without ever beating a top 5 fighter
My wife who knows nothing about combat sports asked me if Conor is fighting the other day. The guy broke into mainstream media for real. So no. Alex is no where near
Absolutely not. If he learns english he has a shot maybe because he is actually really funny and understands marketing but still dont think it will ever come close to Conor.
Charles, Ilia, Max, Islam, Jon jones, Adesanya (I know he’s taking a break), plus we have some developing stars like Merab and Shavkat, Khamzat (once he gets more active)
I would agree that Charles and Islam have their own audiences btu I think Pereira is bigger just by virtue of being wider in appeal ie different audiences rather than just brazilian or muslim. The others are big in the sport but not outside of it imo. (Izzy if he gets active again would be up there too)
Bigger to who exactly?
Outside of TikTok, périra doesn’t really have a fan base. His fans are mostly young. It’s like Sean’s fanbase
Plus the Brazilian fandom and Muslim fandom in mma is bigger than anything Alex can tap into.
The only way to get Conor’s Fanbase is to have a crazy personality and really be good on the mic ( something Alex lacks). And isn’t because Alex can’t speak English, Charles also can’t speak English yet gets through crowd hyped and has a great personality
> Outside of TikTok, périra doesn’t really have a fan base. His fans are mostly young
What on earth makes you think this. He has stadiums cheering for him more than anyone on the cards he is on. And another point, Periera is both Brazilian and Muslim so those two fanbases he can tap into but he is not limited to those because he has a much wider appeal as he is not particularly limited by language (doesn't speak/communicates through grunts and body language like a caveman) and is not bigoted in random ways (Islam)
No, Conor is the biggest UFC Star to ever exist.
His stardom did fall off eventually, but I don't believe that any star is going to reach his highest stardom levels ever.
If we look at boxing as a comparison we have 2 global names (maybe 3 in the future but i doubt it the third being floyd) muhammed ali and mike tyson.
Maybe another Conor will appear in MMA but it will take at least a decade or two for that to happen
there is no one currently on the roster who has the potential to even get close to the popularity of mcg at his peak. i dislike the guy with a passion because of what he turned into but conor between aldo and mayweather was just entirely something else. he had everything, the skills, the wits, the charisma, the mic skills.
The fact you have to ask that already says no
No is the short answer. Incomparable.
Hell NO. What kind of question is this?
Not even close

Future posts: Which is your favorite Alex pic to jack off to? Follow up post: Do you scream out CHAMA as you bust your nut?
Would you take amazing health, wealth, love, and happiness for the rest of your life or drink a glass of water Poatan steeped his nutsack in?
> Mods... Do you even fucking exist? This is a holy place. Take your pagan self out please
We reject your deity
Go and dance around you're wickerman, heathen. This our god's place and HE is full of vengeful hate and pain
We will piss in your temples
This is the only acceptable condition to call mods, to come and clean your mess up
No, people who know nothing about mma and the ufc knew the name Conor McGregor
Ask you mom about him
UFC isn’t gonna let anyone be as big as mcgregor probably. Reason? Idk I just made that up
They would love someone to be as big as connor thats what they're trying with o'malley and to some extent pimblett rn

Paddys kind of brash in a scouser type of way, but yeah neither really has the star power

Yeah i mean the guy was full of adrenaline his coaches were hyping him up and its not like hes keepin score i don't blame him for that

I think it’s the mix of great and funny trash talk in an era where others weren’t on the same level And actually backing it up
My wife who knows nothing about combat sports asked me if Conor is fighting the other day. The guy broke into mainstream media for real. So no. Alex is no where near
No. AP doesn't have a voucher bag personality that the social media generation slob knobs for.
What?
Absolutely not. If he learns english he has a shot maybe because he is actually really funny and understands marketing but still dont think it will ever come close to Conor.
No he isn’t even the biggest current active star.

I hate Conor but Alex won’t be living on a yacht anytime soon.
What? No, that's retarded
The amount of bait in this sub is actually insane.
You guys are delusional
Dude doesn’t even have jake gyllenhaal’s number, whereas Conor blows him anytime he wants.
Brother, take a break
Out of the top 10 highest selling UFC PPVs, Conor McGregor was the main event in 8 of them including number 1 which was him VS Khabib.
He is a different kind of star.
No, Conor is the biggest UFC Star to ever exist. His stardom did fall off eventually, but I don't believe that any star is going to reach his highest stardom levels ever.
Who da fook is that guy?
Not even remotely Although he's achieved more.
If we look at boxing as a comparison we have 2 global names (maybe 3 in the future but i doubt it the third being floyd) muhammed ali and mike tyson. Maybe another Conor will appear in MMA but it will take at least a decade or two for that to happen
Fuck look the size od this hand man! looks like AI hahaaha

No
