Me and the boys reacting to Conor's reason for not winning against Dustin Poirer at UFC 257 was due to not being an arsehole in the build up of the fight

Well I'd have to disagree on you on some of those points here's why:

  1. It's MMA Khabib is very much so, allowed to enforce his most valuable skill of wrestling onto his opponents McGregor uses stand up because that's what he's good at, that's literally like someone saying "Conor wouldn't of knocked out Aldo if he didn't use his striking!" well yeah not shit, he's a master striker and used it to his advantage to get the win. Also I'm pretty sure on the scorecards and even if you rewatch the fight Khabib doesn't only knock McGregor down but actually outboxed him on the feet. I don't think any 'luck' played into that bout he literally made Conor quit. Although McGregor did win a round you really can't name anything that he put on Khabib that was devastating.

  2. Untrue. He didn't beat Nate on 2 weeks notice did he? Also a razor close split decision that arguably could of gone the other way doesn't put Conor beating Nate 10/10 times. Although I think McGregor won the second time around I wouldn't be adement that he would win every single time as you said Conor has a problem with cardio and Nate has a chin and does triathlons.

  3. Conor did win the first round there's no question about that. But Dustin sloppy? Come on man at what point did he look sloppy? Also you can't ignore those kicks, it gives so much success and a fighter can only take a few if they aren't checked.

Although I'm looking forward to his comeback and what changes he makes in camp.
