Conor McGregor has a way of making doubters feel dumb
It’s Tuesday, and still the level of dayum is pretty high.
Conor McGregor didn’t just knock down Jose Aldo in 13 seconds, he dealt a blow to skeptics going back millennia. There’s a reason skepticism has stayed in business as long as it has. Skepticism always ends up at common sense. When mystics get to messing with the strings behind the curtain, the easy play is to raise a suspicious eyebrow and say, "uh-huh." Doubt is safe. By the time McGregor and Aldo made their walks to the cage, the betting line had swung in Aldo’s favor.
Skeptics, it turns out, speak with money.
