Because of Connor's unique personal style. At his peak, Connor was indeed unbeatable in his level. With the match between Zhang Weili and Joanna at the beginning of this year, UFC finally entered the eyes of the majority of Chinese sports fans for the first time and became well known. This high-level, passionate competition has also become a hot topic on the Internet.
The hottest superstar in UFC today is undoubtedly Conor. He is probably one of the most popular fighting superstars in UFC history. His popularity is so high. In addition to his strength that cannot be ignored, what other factors are there?
Obviously, this comes from Connor’s own style: talking nonsense. We all know that before a fighting event starts, the managers of both players often ask two people to "tray" each other before the game, creating grudges on social networks or even at the "weighing ceremony" to build up the hype.
And Connor obviously interpreted "squirting" to the extreme. He speaks freely and repeatedly provokes his opponents; he often launches "personal attacks" and contempt for his enemies in all aspects. To a certain extent, he has even broken through the "hidden rules" and really stimulated the opponent's boxers. Therefore, he is called a "talking gun".
With such an iconic personal style, it is difficult for him not to become famous.
Of course, Connor also has the strength to match his status. In his prime, Connor rarely experienced defeat and was almost invincible at the same level. Although he is not very good at ground skills, in terms of standing skills, he is far ahead of almost all other players.
That’s why the outside world provoked the “fight of the century” between him and boxing champion Pacquiao.
It is worth mentioning that Ma Baoguo, a Tai Chi master who has recently become popular on the Internet, once commented on Connor's kung fu. It is said that he can only use "death force" and does not understand the power of traditional martial arts. He is a so-called champion trained in Western fighting techniques.
Previously, Ma Baoguo also wanted to teach Zhang Weili "Complete Round Tai Chi".
