Nah, when he was fighting consistently he was easily the best at his weight. Not fighting multiple times per year has put a ton of rust on him.

given where he's from I wouldn't be surprised but I don't know if he's ever said anything publicly
I don't like Conor but you don't beat prime Mendes, Aldo, and Alvarez by being overrated.

What he says I think.. You can't just do this sport part time.. Connors next match will be huge for him.. Lose and it is done
Not sure. At this point I just assume all non black MMA fighters fuck with that clown.
Dustin played this fight extremely well, engaged intelligently and never stayed in the pocket. The dog didn't get brought out.
Kind of astonished that Conor never checked those calf kicks. At this point in the game everyone should know how to throw them and everyone should know how to check them but here we are.

That was a really fun couple of rounds. McGregor looked good early but you can tell once his leg was dusted he couldn't put any power behind his punches and Dustin knew it.
Did it look to anyone else like Dustin's nose was broken? Shit looked a little crooked in the interview and he ate that shoulder with it hard in the first.

Sure, and when you're fighting every other year, you're not keeping up.
Hasn't had a serious fight in the UFC since October 2018. Never expected him to get finished in the second but it almost looked like some of his punch resistance has gone.
yeah he looks 10 years older than he did last year.
kiss that Big Kabib fight goodbye forever.
kid is washed.
retire to your vodka empire.
Conor sounded so mellow in interviews before this fight. Not much trash talk, praising his opponent. I thought either he's found some kind of zen or he's lost his edge and is gonna lose.
I'm afraid to inform you that Derrick Lewis is also a Trumper, and probably a majority of UFC fighters are too. Even Masvidal.
Good plan by Dustin by attacking the legs and then going for the headshots.
This is all I could think of. Mcgregor just isn't the fighter he used to be. This fight was always Porier's to lose.
It's been like that for a few years. I forget what fight it happened in.
He's going to fight more in 2021. Seems like a lot of overreactions to this. He still has a lot of money to make, and he can probably still beat a good chunk of the division.
he pretty vehemently denied he was done. said his problem was inactivity so he wants to fight more.
Conor looked slow and stiff tonight. The coke abuse and father time will not be kind to his style which requires speed and precision. We could be seeing a Chuck Liddell-like decline from here on out.

Eh, not surprised. I know all about Masvidal's shit too.
MMA is the sunken place for POC tho.
Pretty sure he's cheated on his wife a bunch and has some sexual assault allegations against him, tried to start a fight with a referee, destroyed a fans phone, the bus incident, punched an old guy at a bar, etc
he's lost his edge. rust + tons of $$ from his vodka has made him half the fighter he used to be. the trash talking is done I'd say.
He got humbled.
This fight showed where Conor's really at. He's not washed, but he's lost his edge. He also can't fix this cardio problem, and those leg kicks were wide open. His weaknesses are well exposed now... He'll have trouble with any good fighter north of 155 who takes his shots and doesn't go anywhere.
Great fight from Dustin.
Great fight from Dustin.
Not overreacting. He has retired before. I didn't see the interview.
Thanks.
idk why everyone's reaction every time someone who is good loses is "yeah he/she is washed, their weaknesses are exposed, etc."
sometimes you just lose and then you move on and continue to be good
it's like the people who thought Holloway was done because he lost twice to Volk. lol
