i think conor or someone in his team is at least smart enough to get the money fights in before he goes and risks getting knocked out and retired by an oompa loompa. i'm guessing diaz 3, and the pacquiao fight happens somewhere

He has to beat Do Bronx or at least Chandler for him to be an interesting draw now.

What matchup is there at the top of the LW echelon that is more favourable to Conor than a Dustin content to walk backwards into the fence and exchange? The dude’s done at the top. He’s not trading low kicks or punches with Gaethje and he’s not out grappling Oliviera, Khabib or Chandler.

I mean I'm sure he'll get another big shot because Dana's loving awful and there is still money to be exploited from Conor's insane fans, but I wonder if they might convince him to fight Dan Hooker first so they can claim he's on the comeback trial if he wins? Though  if Dan Hooker ended up beating him anyway.

we're all overlooking the real winnable fight for Conor, vs. Tony Ferguson's somersaulting corpse. the man who didn't really lose to Khabib because he had some good r3 strikes vs. the man who actually wasn't mentally broken in the first round because it was in fact Oliveira who was mentally broken, it really sells itself

Lid posted:Found it Especially in the UFC lightweight division. Remember all the guys who had super impressive win streaks at some point, G-Sot, Jim Miller, Melvin Guillard, Donald Cerrone, all of whom went on to get squashed in later fights, because there's always some terrifying new prospect coming up. Also, Dustin putting it all together over the years has been awesome. Obviously, he's made a shitload of technical improvements, but also mental ones. There was that story Cub Swanson told that, during their fight, Dustin was whispering 'stop, you're taking my destiny away' and that guy, who clearly fought from the heart, has turned himself into a smart, very mentally together and versatile fighter. I rewatched a bunch of his fights recently, and the improvement in his composure and patience is a genuinely crazy. Radical 90s Wizard posted:That seemed to be mostly because he basically couldn't move his lead leg. That owned goddamn Also, he's a really good counter puncher, but always looks awkward when he has to lead, especially with his hands. That style of punch works super well if the guy is coming after you, but you can't move much as you throw it.

Gaethje would have loving killed Conor and he'll probably kill Chandler too. I say give Chandler to Gaethje so they can find out who's the backflip king and do Dustin and Oliviera.

Conor won the first round with pressure and getting up from that takedown, but the commentators pointed out he wasn't checking any of those leg kicks - and then Dustin found his rhythm in the 2nd
