MMA On Point - Podcast

Shocking defeats and upsets happen all the time in MMA, but you rarely see fighters as shocked as they are in these circumstances. Nothing like celebrating you won a fight before it ever even happened, eh Ilia Topuria? Conor's disapointing main event was historically bad, but isn't actually the worst humbling of his career and we'll show you what is.

Name a worse main event than this? At least Aspinal vs Gane had a few minutes of actual fighting. Couture vs Vitor 2 happened when no one was watching the sport comparitively in the dark ages. And the question on everyone's lips is how did Conor McGregor get this injury? Was he already unstable before the fight? Why did he look so nervous? What a disaster this main event was.

Conor McGregor. Just saying his name brings up a lot of thoughts. And as he is making his return this weekend against Max Holloway it appears. Well, there is clearly a huge divide between the hardcore and casual fanbases. I'll ask you...Do you like Conor McGregor in 2026?

These days you can't look at a comment section of a Gable Steveson video or clip on social media without his allegations coming up. I was extremely curious about this myself and decided to take a deep dive look at it. Did he get away with it or is he innocent?

In hindsight, it will be funny to look at these, but the truth is the vast majority of fans counted them out. Multiple title losses, setbacks, years away from the title or even losing streaks among the top ranks... well yeah, people start to lose faith. These are the repeat champions that proved everyone wrong.
