[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1204648, member: 45598"] I think MMA fans who'd watched him from the start stuck with him and he was still huge for the Khabib fight. But I think he'd lost a lot of people who were fans from the Mendez, Aldo and Alvarez fights. I wanted him to lose that Khabib fight and liked nothing about it with the shenanigans afterwards. I think Aldo or Mayweather (although many saw that for the farce it was) was probably his peak in terms of popularity here whereas he grew elsewhere after. He was mostly hated here soon after, most were turning this way but punching an old man in a pub was the real ticker. I remember being in Boston in 2020 and many people I spoke to would bring up McGregor and be shocked when I told him he wasn't liked at home. His popularity dwindling here has very little to do with his fighting falling off and is at an all time low after his recent civil case. [/QUOTE]
