A lot of the viewers feel that Conor McGregor has lost his edge and is now in a more mature place in life and the sport.
The UFC world knows Conor to be the wild, Notorious, Trash-talking fighter. Maybe the world needs some time to get used to this other side of the Irishman. Conor McGregor won the first fight against Dustin Poirier. The build-up to that fight had Conor trash-talking and insulting Poirier. But the rematch witnessed a new side to the superstar. Conor was rather very respectful and kind to Dustin Poirier. The Khabib Nurmagomedov Vs Conor fight witnessed some of the most disrespectful moments in the UFC’s history.
Cormier stated, “The buildup (to a fight), I truly believe that some people need that edge. Do I think he needs to go as far as he went with the Khabib (Nurmagomedov) fight? No, that was too far. But I think some of those guys need that edge a little bit, man. And I think for McGregor, he’s showing a maturity about it that he may not have had before, but I think that some of these guys need that edge.”
