Media Remember when Eddie Alvarez had McGregor ready to cry?

[Corrado Soprano]

Eddie roasted his whole life. McGregor may have won the battle but Alvarez won the war.

 

[jkthenatural]

Never had the makings

 

[LindyBrah]

Eddie grew up in the worst part of Kensington, Philadelphia and MMA allowed him to leave.

And then the fight happened....

The fights are usually an afterthought. The pre-fight buildup is what actually matters.

Eddy hit him where it hurt and from what I've heard which makes it worse if true. Is that Conor never even needed welfare bc apparently his father owned a decent sized plumbing business and they were like comfortable middle class. If that's all true then he's jjst taking away from ppl who may actually need it.

Isn't it that Eddie won this battle but lost the war?

Either way pure savagery from Eddie.

This is the first time some saw Conor lose at what he was great at: trash talk. And yea Eddie messed up on fight night lol

No one remembers the fight but we remember Conor took welfare. Come on, your kids are gonna see that.

Yeah i remember, i wish UFC didn't go bankrupt. We could've see great fights, trash talks but all we can do now is talk about those good times

Nate Diaz also beat him in that

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

I gotta get on this welfare wagon. Even starting at this late age, it might make me bellator 2 weight champ

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Conor is still living off of beating Eddie , and the double champ does what he wants to this day...

 

[nonoob]

Yeah, when Eddie wouldn't read Conor a bedtime story at TUF house.

 

[Corrado Soprano]

That fight really was the apex of McGregor’s hype, he seemed unbeatable at the time but it’s been overshadowed by the fact that he took welfare.

 

[MMAcolyte]

From what little I've heard, it (welfare) is much different culturally in Ireland than in the USA.

When I was in Colombia I was bullshitting with a guy from Ireland, and he was telling me how much it costs to rent a place in Dublin. I don't remember the number, but I was blown away. I asked him how people afforded to live and he said, "they don't".

Him and his gf he was there with were on social assistance and he said almost everyone he knew his age (mid 20's) was too. His older brother was a lawyer and had just finally managed to buy his own place for some exorbitant sum.

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Real men get welfare/food stamps because it helps their family.

Weak men deny help because of pride and their family suffers.

Conor has my respect for being a real man.

 

[Shoguns Prodigy**]

Damn imagine being worth 10x someone and they shut u down when it comes to money talk. Eddie put in on him bad too bad he couldn’t do it in the real thing.
