I don't expect too many to be up watching this (its 5:47am) but he is definitely the most recognisable combat sportsman from GB and Eire. An undisputed superstar who has a bigger following than anyone in UFC.
However, not too many casual sport fans in the UK know about him. Definitely a polarising character, but if he beats Aldo he will have conquered the world.
Edit: I'll qualify 'most recognisable' by adding 'worldwide'. In the UK, he is way behind AJ, Froch, Khan. [Post edited 13 Dec 2015 5:50]

He didn't do it in the street though.
You might as well claim that if he did it in low Earth orbit he'd get a massive sunburn before rapidly expiring from oxygen deprival and exploded lungs for all the relevance it has. |
Hey , if you think that is sport fine, everyone to their own |  |

I much prefer boxing, but Conor is a world class fighter. What a ko. One punch ko. |  |

Boxing/UFC/whatever fighting shite just seems to be full of posing, show off tw@ts...tweeting their cash they've earned, the cars they've got, etc etc etc.
There's not another 'sport' like it. Full of idiots. |  |

They are just selling the fights. It's easier to make people think you are a flashy cock that they want to see knocked out, than to make yourself popular. The very top ones, like Conor McGregor and Ronda Rousey manage to do both. |  | | |

Conor is the only who does it really in MMA. I have no problem with the stuff he says, if he was like most fighters he wouldn't make anywhere near the amount of money he has. With all the head trauma stuff I have no problem with guys making a shit ton of money and then getting out instead of fighting into their 40s.
As for 'there's not another sport like it', you're posting on a 'football' forum. All athletes post shit about their cars, houses etc. That Obeng kid we had, all he posted about was his car ffs |  | | |

I think in years gone by it was like that.
In the modern tw@tter era I think they have just grown to be c*nts. [Post edited 13 Dec 2015 18:37]

Some are, some aren't, just like any other sport.
McGregor is actually very intelligent and articulate. I would have thought his persona is exaggerated to sell fights though. Good luck to him, he is obviously doing it right. | | | |

How many high level professional footballers are there in the world?
Seems all the top fighters like to show off their wads of cash. | |

We obviously have different definitions of the word 'intelligent'.
He can talk, I'll give him that. | |

It's just the ones you hear about. Aldo hadnt lost for 10 years before last night, but because he doesn't speak English well and prefers to let his fists do the talking, you probably hadn't heard of him and he doesn't make as much money. | | | |

You can be brash and intelligent at the same time. | | | |

I can't think of any in MMA who show off like Mcgregor does. 1 person. His wage depends on how many people buy his fight. Plus the fact he's an elite level athlete and has sacrificed a ton to get where he is.
You'd prefer to see our lads in the U21s posting pictures of their new Range rovers though? | | | |
