I'm not loyal to anything, General... except the dream.
Dustin says he ‘put Conor in airplane mode’ which rules.

Here’s a bad prediction: Dustin beats Conor, Conor takes the Nate fight so he can “have an easy win before he rides off into the sunset” but he loses

That's not a bad prediction at all. Honestly, the Dustin winning part is the bit I'd think is hardest. Dustin's got Conor figured, but that first round is still far more dangerous for him than it is for Nate.

If Conor walked out to Return of the Mack and ko'd Dustin I'd be right back on the hype train tbh

Keep that train rolling for the net five years of him not fighting then, lol.

Old Man Dariush would bury McGregor.

If I remember correctly, Conor and Artem both ended up with six month medical suspensions due to the leg kicks they threw against Nate and Avila at 202.

That camp's just dogshit.

Kavanaugh, himself, seems like a very solid coach,

Does he? Based on what?

connor finally getting legit knocked out will be great,

He got legit knocked out in the second fight.

CarlCX posted:

When he's not attached to Conor's bullshit antics his breakdowns of fights are very clear and levelheaded, to the point that he's already done an interview breaking down where and how Conor hosed up and injured his leg by screwing up his own techniques, and before these godforsaken days Kavanagh was mostly known for being Gunnar Nelson's head coach and he did a bang-up job with him.

As part of that interview he said the fight was going well and he expected Conor to finish Dustin in the next round, he also said that Conor was defending well while on the floor, that's the furthest thing from an honest interpretation of that round you can get.

People bring this up a lot, but I can't name a single fighter Kavanagh's coached who has got better under his leadership, and outside of Conor, who seems to mostly be a product of himself and a few others, I can't think of a single SBG fighter who actually has a clear, coherent game that sets up their talents.

Nelson is the closest thing to a success story SBG has had outside of Conor and he doesn't train exclusively at SBG Ireland.

We have no idea if Conor would have held the belt for a long time and never will, but I think he probably wouldn't have.
