vegas-voss Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 7 minutes ago, Lord BJ said: I struggle to see who he beats inside the top 10. The one thing that makes me thinks he might be back, is so it doesn’t end like that. However, you imagine everyone close to him is telling him it’s time to concentrate on something other than fighting. I think freak show bouts with the Logan brothers are probably very likely, just due to the cash involved. I’ve enjoyed the Connor McGregor UFC journey but does feel like it’s over now. I enjoyed it to a point the FW run.I think he picked his opponent well for the LW title and well it's never been the same again.The antics grew old pretty quick and became cringe even in the Mayweather pressers.MMA doesn't stop for anybody though and Conor just never evolved like Rousey once the aura went it crumbled.

Where the hell did they find that lunatic? 😂😂😂 Head like a breeze block. The only time O'Malley has fought anyone of any quality, he lost. They need to stop giving him cans and start giving him ranked opponents. In fact, he should fight Cheeto again. His opponent was a late replacement for the original guy he was supposed to be fighting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas-voss Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I also think one of the most sensible things Conor had said in a while was that he needed rounds in the Octogon but then what does he go and do straight back in for an ego fight that makes the most money.

" I will come back , I will scrutinise every detail and prepare , put in a masterclass " The reality is he is the same every fight only folk are not walking into those left hands anymore.The great left hand myth still trotted out before every fight by panelists etc but reality when was the last time he really hurt anybody with it , Alvarez ?

cosanostra Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 We'll all still watch his fights though. He's entertaining if nothing else. He was the right man for his time and place but if you're not moving forwards, you're moving back - especially at a higher weight. Putting on so much muscle mass after Aldo pretty much guaranteed he'd never make 145 again and that was the end of his dominance. The money and the celebrity changed him, like it changed Rousey. He became hard to like. His lack of elite grappling skill and one punch KO power at 155 was pretty obvious after Alvarez. He was 2015s man and never really got any better. Dustin has beaten 2019 Holloway, Gaethje, Conor twice, Dan Hooker and Eddie Alvarez. He's kept on growing and improving. Looking forward to seeing Poirier v Oliveira now. Paul Craig v Alex Gustafsson also has my attention. Craig is a guy I've followed every fight of his since he signed with UFC and you can see him growing in confidence. Same with Tuivasa. Actually saw him fight in person not so long ago. Heavyweight is not my favourite by a long shot but he's damn loveable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 10 minutes ago, Lord BJ said: I really like Paul Craig and AG is a definite step up, albeit probably facing him at a good time. I think the problem with Craig is similar to Maia, whilst BJJ may be top level his abilities to get the fight to where he wants in limited. Though he exploits scrambles and chaos very well. One of the reasons AG is a good test for him, he will want to keep it standing and seasoned enough to to challenge him to take it to the ground. Craigs hands are improving all the time, looking at him via Rua compared to start. Hoping this improvement continues and gets victory over AG. Man, i would be so happy if Paul could beat Gus. He's been submitted in his last 2 fights and the one before that was his loss to Johnny Bones. Excited but nervous about this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love what he’s done pre Mayweather and can’t help admire his pivot from fighter to money making machine. In a competitive fighting way he’s so last decade. All the antics are worthless if not backed up in the octagon and it’s been a long time since he did that. The ‘young’ Conner had a plan. Get in, get rich, get out. He’s struggling badly with the last part. Agree entirely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 The longer McGregor stays in the sport the more it will veer towards WWE.

Poirier He fractured it in one of the checks at the beginning of the fight and he broke it on a punch, for sure. I felt something, he was kicking me hard," he said. "There's no coming back from that," the American added. "He was saying he was going to murder me, that I'd leave here in a coffin. You don't talk like that about people.

Rogan asked him if he felt the fight was going his way. He looked exasperated and said "yeah". Then he explained how Conor caught him, he was buzzed but he kept his legs. Watch the interview again. It's all over YouTube and Facebook videos. With regards to the part you just posted, I'm really not sure that I believe that he fractured it in a check, continued to fight on it, attempted the desperate takedown, tried about 50 upkicks, got up again and then the full displacement happened. Just looked like a freak injury. He was sprawling backwards, off balance and tried to put his full weight on his leg, just above the syndesmosis because his foot was inverted and twisted medially, hence the position of the fracture. That sort of twist and full weight would break any adult tib / fib. I think Dustin was just saying that because it made it sound like he was ultimately responsible for the stoppage.
