    McGregor pulled guard at the 3:00 mark. Poirier didn't get out of the guillotine attempt until 2:30 left.

    So, no.

    Conor after going for the submission, was getting crushed. Hell did you watch the same fight we did?

    And Conor was getting his ass beat once Dustin escaped that god awful guillotine.

    That was the best possible outcome for Conor at that point.

    He really should just hang it up

    He should do what Brock remembered and Rhonda learned; you can make just as much money pretending to get your face caved in than you can get actually having your face caved in.

    Watch, in 9 months he’ll be the special guest referee at wrestlemania or something

    I've never disputed that.

    My entire point from the beginning is that Conor stepped wrong, broke his own foot. Poirier didn't do that. Y'all laughably ran with the fan boy stuff after that.

    Poirier dominated once it hit the ground, undisputedly. But even with those barrage of shots he landed, he still only landed 8 more strikes than Conor did that round.

    Does Poirier still win? Probably. McGregor Fast but McGregor Gas too. He's about an 8 minute fighter.

    Big difference between saying "Conor broke his own foot." And what you actually said. No one is disputing Conor had a freak injury.

    Cant teach a guy new tricks who spent the entirety of his climb up knocking people out but my goodness Connor not being able to effectively control range / grapple / and block take downs at a minimum level is pretty mind blowing.

    He made a dumb mistake going for the guillotine. Really, if he hadn't been against the fence he could have pulled guard and it may have been in tight enough. He had it, he was just in a bad position to keep it locked in. That mistake led to 2+ minutes of being on the bottom. It wasn't a lopsided round by any means.

    He should have been able to get up though. He created space, he just didn't commit to it and was content to lay on his back.

    A lot of people doing victory laps over winning one round and a freak injury. Who knows how the other four rounds would’ve went. Conor was in a bad spot on the ground, but he was doing fine on the feet. Silly to pretend to “win” after that. As far as Poirier goes, he will absolutely starch Charlie Olives. And Dana just said he’s running back Conor/Dustin as soon as he can.

    And he’s really never left the Kavanaugh training zone.

    Poirier’s HC is Mike Brown. There’s a gulf of coaching abilities between those two, and Kavanaugh is a good dude too.

    I mean the longer that thing goes on if that foot / leg doesn’t break the worse it would have gotten for Connor. He would have had to crack Dustin in the first 20 seconds of that second round with how fast he gasses out. Connor has that missile in his hands but then again Dustin showed in 2 straight fights that he will eat a ton of good shots from McGregor.

    I'd expect to see Poirier-Olivera in September. Conor, potentially oddly benefits from tonight, and gets the winner early next year.

    Pretty shitty if they make him run it back rather rather go for the title. He's beat him twice in 6 months. I know it sells tickets but that's shitty to hold him back.

    To be clear, it’s Poirier/Oliviera next. Dana’s talking like Conor gets a rematch with Poirier down the line when he’s healthy.

    Yes and no. He should get a rematch with Dustin after tonight. He lost one round. Who gives a shit in a fight that was like -400 to finish ITD. Wtf are they doing with Gaethje? I’d run him vs Conor in a #1 contender fight.

    watching the post fight presser

    dana just said there were zero issues with espn+. the feed died for like 30 seconds during one of the undercard fights. not a big deal because one of the dudes got poked in the eye and there was a pause in the fight at the exact moment

    Conor has lost 3 of his last 4 fights, 2 of those being to Dustin. If Dustin can win the belt in his next fight, in no way does Conor get the first shot coming off of losing 3 of 4. Let him and Gaethje fight and then figure it out from there. If Dustin loses to Oliviera and Conor beats Gaethje, maybe they run it back then.

    I hear you, but tonight isn’t a loss. So he lost to Khabib (as did Gaethje and Poirier), and should be in the same spot before he broke his leg. I think if he beats Gaethje (that’s the fight I would make), he’s as deserving as anybody else in the division. However, I think Gaethje works him.

    honestly Conor need some prep fights. Stop fighting top talent and get back to a 3 or 4 month fight schedule. Next fight should be like Brad Ridell or Carlos Diego Ferreiraon as the co-main event or something. The problem is he's too big for a small fight, so it doesn't make sense for him, or the the UFC, to schedule a fight like that. Fuck it, Conor vs Amanda Nunes.

    He literally lost tonight. Call it a fluke injury, but it goes down as a loss. He's lost 3 of 4.

    :idk: i think the idea is that if you're making fights, a guy stepping weird and breaking his foot shouldn't count against him. he was losing but it's not like he looked like a bum out there

    one of the others was to a guy who beat everyone he ever faced

    And lost.

    Conor has 1 win since 2016 and that was against a guy that's 0-5-1 in his last 6 fights.

    5 years, 1 win vs a washed up fighter.

    He's only getting fights bc of his name and ticket sales.

    Not that it matters, but no fucking way that was a 10-8 round. I mean not with the current system. I'm all for changing scoring and making it more flexible, but under the current system that's a 10-9 round. Poririer did more, landed more, had top control, but 10-8? please. What was the O-Mally fight, like 10-4 rounds???
