Joe says conor stunned dustin with a left hand when he clearly didn't.

dustin landing good clean shots one after the other, that are clearly hurting mcgregor to the point he clinches up, and all joe can say is "oh, oh"

Let's say conor recovers and fights dustin again, or even hate. He won't be throwing those leg kicks ever again, which was obviously his major adjustment against both of his rematches after losing.

Well I have a feeling conor won't be throwing many leg kicks like that anymore because I'm a psychic. So, what the gently caress is even his gameplan????

Conor McGregor signed on to do some boat tour with a literal Princess of Monaco, starting in Greece and going all the way to Ireland or some poo poo - a big charity thing. For like 2 months before it started he was tweeting about it and various water safety-related poo poo and news stories quite regularly. Stuff like quote tweeting a BBC news story about girls getting disoriented near the Isle of Wight with like "and this is why it's always important to bring good GPS and radios when going out on the water."

And then the night before they were set to start the tour he got arrested for pulling his tocker out on some Aegean resort island and the tour was cancelled.

You didn't say what I think you said...
How does anyone look at that Conor interview and not just laugh at the guy after that? Barely intelligible, maybe even a broken jaw, head all bashed up, and talking poo poo like he had anything left to offer? I agree with the poster who basically said once an rear end in a top hat, always an rear end in a top hat, it's completely who he is.
gently caress that guy. Hope his chin is cracked and Nate puts him out cold when they fight again.

The entirety of the post-fight interview with Poirier has been him just acting with 100% class. I just don't see how you can cheer McGregor and boo Poirier and not be a terrible person.

Could he even shoot for a 4th fight? According to others who have broken their bone in that area, it’s apparently a really bad spot and may actually be a career ender for McGregor?

(Oh no, such a great loss for MMA, the horror etc.)

It would be the first time in UFC history two fighters within UFC had a 4th fight (to the best few of us in discord could gather). So most likely not but it still is Conor (if he can still draw, he is still useful to the UFC). But even if the stars align it wouldn't be for 1 1/2 year at best?

His post fight answers about Oliviera were amazing, so refreshing to have some positivity instead of the relentless trash talk.

Can't wait to see how much he raises from auctioning off his kit.

Poirier would probably be an ideal champion at this point. He's a great guy, selfless as hell and he's got two brutal wins over the only guy most non-full-time fans know about. And he has a great rag to riches story. Dana should go hog wild promoting the guy, and probably would, if he hadn't killed off the Golden Goose with check hooks and checked kicks.

There's a few:
Patrício Freire vs Daniel Straus all in Bellator
Travis Fulton vs Bryan Robinson had 7 in different orgs
Wanderlei vs Rampage had 4 in different orgs
Nate Marquardt vs Kiuma Kunioku fought 4 times in Pancrase
Yuki Kondo vs Semmy Schilt four times in pancrase

He also has loving sick fights. His fights with Gaethje, Holloway, Zombie, Pettis and Hookerare what I show people who've not watched mma before to get a sense of how very good it can be.
