Cacs are starting to really piss me off with this shyt! King Mo weighed in on the "cockiness" double standard that Floyd talked about, and they put words in his mouth, more or less reducing his perspective to "Conor McGregor is popular because he's white" which is not at all what he said.

Lawal says race a factor in McGregor's stardom: If he was black, shut it down


Lawal suggests that race plays a factor in Conor McGregor's popularity.

Race was brought into Conor McGregor's success as a UFC superstar last week when Floyd Mayweather suggested that the Irishman gets away with trash talk because of his skin colour.

:aicmon: These cacs aren't slick pretending to miss the point (which is, and always has been that black fighters are disproportionately HATED, for being outspoken and showing outward confidence, while white fighters are not). Absolutely no one is saying "race is the reason for McGregor's success" like these peckerwoods would have you believe, people are just tired of cac media being inconsistent in their coverage of black fighters/athletes, and cac fans showing blatant double standards/biases.

These cacs hated this nikka King Mo's guts for using a very similar approach to promoting himself as McGregor early in his career (Japan/Strikeforce) :rudy:. He knows what the fukk he's talking about.

You take the best 10 bantamweights right now and it might be the strongest division in the UFC at this point.

You have Cruz, Dillashaw, Renan Barao, Faber, Aljamain Sterling, John Dodson moving up, undefeated Thomas Almeida who is a young killer, Michael McDonald, and Raphael Assuncao. Thats alot of great fights in the next 2-3 years.

Lightweight is still the deepest

I put Lightweight and Welterweight above it. But I've never been a fan of Cruz and think both Barao and Faber are fading.
