The only track he was on was the one which leads to getting outwrestled (and then possibly submitted) by the bigger, stronger guy ā¦ If he wishes to remain relevant, Conor needs to suck it up, deal with the excruciating weight cut, and go back to his original weight class of 145lbs. He simply doesnāt have the frame to deal with these larger guys (Poirier, Khabib, Masvidal, Gaethje, etc), and packing on lean mass isnāt going to change that. He ought to go back down to 145 where his one punch KO power negates his cardio issues and lack of wrestling credentials. That or simply retire. Thereās simply no future for him fighting at 155lbs.
Judge Sal DāAmato got it right.
Just re-read it and itās exactly the way I remember it.
Essentially need dominance and duration.
Obviously no one is counting the leg break.
How much weight should you put into the GNP. I donāt put that much into it. Not many of those elbows got through. Had Dustin been on top for a longer time and not even landed anything more Iād say clear 10-8 due to duration. Dustin landed a couple of good shots standing but I had conor winning the stand up.
It wouldnāt be insane to score it 10-8 but not the right call IMO .
If you include the leg break it was a definite 10-8 and thatās what I think the judges did.
Khabib talked about how money ruined McGregor as a martial artist, and heās right he really hasnāt developed any new tools or improved in anyway in a long time.
He was very good but he just hasnāt grown or developed and if he wants to continue he really should reconsider his training.
No. Conor is not a fighter. When going gets tough, he wilts.
On every loss after Diaz, where he got a reward of victory for putting in work, rather than regrouping, getting stronger, he got worse and worse and worse.
Him going nuts now is again avoiding the adversity, rather than facing it.
As for John Kavanagh, maybe heās talking about Dustin? LOL.
Interesting lol - that reads like one of us cunts wrote it
