Conor seems to have just sharpened some of the shit he already was good at. But it doesn’t look like he had changed/added anything. And I think a big part of that is his camp. I mean think about it, Nobody outside of Conor has really had great success coming out of That Gym. And that’s not to say they’re that bad but he’s going against guys like Dustin who trains at fuckin ATT, they’re constantly changing, adding, improving. And due to loyalty, Conor will probably never leave SBG but I think that’s gotta be one of the first things he needs to think about doing.

Imagine if Conor had a legit gym and not one filled with a bunch of yes men. EDIT: This comment isn't related to anything John said in the video necessarily, but after the fight his corner was telling Conor that they were feeling good heading into the second round and believe they would have finished Dustin. Something along those lines. Conor did not win a single minute of that first round and was close to getting finished. I don't think he would have came back and won this fight due to Dustin's pressure and pace he was putting on and it would have only got worse for Conor.

O no, he was doing great, they were going to tell him to come out in the 2nd and do more of the same.... like McGregor said, if he went to the 2nd round he would have won... if only he could get out of the first round with Dustin or any other top 3 fighter.

Yes Dustin had a great round 1 but how many fighters have a great round 1 only to lose the fight? It happens all the time in MMA. For example, Chandler absolutely destroyed Oliveira in the 1st round, and then 1 punch from Oliveira in round 2 changed the whole fight. My point is that UFC 264 didn’t give us a conclusive ending and in my opinion the 4th fight needs to happen again. I wouldn’t mind seeing Dustin fight for the belt because he deserves it, but the 4th fight is only a matter of time.

Ppl are so casual, they don't understand. He knew Conor was good on the feet, he knows how Conor can counter and move. I'm sure he felt fine. Not like they just couldn't figure DP out.

Kavanagh is the biggest yes man on the planet. Conors problem is that the entire devision had evolved so much since he fought Floyd and he’s the only guy that hasn’t. The fact that kavanagh can actually convince himself that Conor was “well on his way to getting the finish” is fucking insane. Conor was getting smashed before breaking his tibia end of story. If this fight had gone to the second round Dustin would’ve finished him no question. Conor came into the fight angry and throwing everything with 100% and it cost him.

"The guillotine was purely defensive." As Dustin was choking out and had to cage walk to get out of it. This is why injuries suck, especially after only going 1 round, no matter who you wanted to win, as fans this sucks for all of us, especially when love or hate him, Conor draws so many MMA fans together and for this to happen at an event of this magnitude just out of COVID really sucks.

Dustin actually used his toes in the cage to get out of it, new video out...the sub was in.... And yes John just said it was a drilled defensive measure designed to force Dustin to disengage on the fence where he is so good...Conor wasn't supposed to pull guard but he felt it in so did Dustin and ironically it's the same mistake Dustin made with Khabib Btw when he got up he threw everything he had on that left so he definitely had fight left in him, caught him with nasty up kicks too...Khabib did WAY more damage on ground did you see conors post surgery face zero cuts on his face or swelling had a tiny cut on ear...I admit it looked bad in real time but most didn't land.....

You better tell us who advised Conor to do contrast baths for the shin before the fight, alternating between ice and hot water !? In this way, glass bottles can be cut without the aid of a glass cutter. First, the bottle is dipped in boiling water to the desired level, and then dipped to the same level in cold water, and it gently bursts in a straight cut. The same thing happens with the shin bone, because at the bottom the bone is practically not covered by the muscles and receives a temperature shock. No wonder Conor's leg broke. How did he walk after these procedures. The one who advised him these contrasting procedures is his enemy.

I really appreciate the utter honesty and passion that he was opening up about. I will always love seeing Conor compete, no matter the record, IDC. As long as Conor is doing something he loves, I'll greatly enjoy seeing him compete. I hope he heals well and then they get really creative at their approach with their fighting style. I feel like Conor has so much skill we have yet to really see him lean into. I'd like to see him compete against different opponents and he can finish this set of fights with Dustin once he gets his flow back after the healing process because leg injuries really are no joke to bounce back from. I recently had my ACL replaced and it was such a pain of a recovery. I'm still not what I used to be before the injury. Can't skateboard or run like before. I hike, walk as my only exercise with my dogs. I miss the hyperactivity before the injury but I just immensely hope Conor recovers amazingly. But maybe new opponents is exactly what Conor needs to get going again. I'll watch McGregor, O'Malley, Izzy, Wonderboy compete no matter what! IDC about records. As long as the athlete is enjoying what they're doing and learning from their mistakes I will always enjoy watching them all compete because I love their fighting styles. I'd love to see a bigger implementation of a game plan that focuses on hitting but not getting hit much by moving a lot. Bring back those tucking looping uppercuts mixed into his combos like his debut fight. Body, side, push kicks, attack the body to open the guard to the head. I'd love to see just how creative Conor and his coaches can get. The dude is insanely skilled. I feel like we've barely seen 50% of his skills. Good luck healing up! I'll always be cheering you on.

Keep in mind he went from welfare to over $100 million in about five years. I don’t think any trainer could’ve prevented that kind of money in that short a timespan from ruining him.

I am convinced that Connor should be training with Danaher and that group of absolute murderers on the ground.

There's alot of homosexual animosity towards Conor from the critics.
Cerrone had two bad losses to Gatheje and T Ferg so he was pretty washed before that. And dude literally everyone knows about the Holloway win, and the Dustin win they were from 2013,2014 respectively and the Ufc still uses them in every hype videos so we don't have to bring them up. Same with Chad and Aldo and no one calls them flukes Conor has literally built his empire off that run in mma that eventually led to him fighting mayweather. And how is it "homosexual animosity" dude the fans and the sports media have been critiquing fighters forever this is nothing new.
@@TopGod97 losing to Gaethje and Tony (who at the time were top 5 LWs) makes you washed up? lol you do realise that Cowboy had won 3 fights in a row before facing them right? its funny how when Conor fought Cerrone everyone was calling him washed up after Conor destroyed him, but nobody was calling him washed up when he fought Gaethe only 4 months earlier. Fact is Cerrone was fighting killers. He was robbed against Pettis, that should have been his win and he actually looked pretty good in that fight, but the fight that I think he finally looked washed up was his last fight when he got finished by Morono. That was the worst he had ever looked and was finished quickly
@@rbaz9454 exactly!!! As far as 170 class they were equal at the time.
Coach K is lacking as a coach or Conor lacks as a student. It’s one or the other because Conor hasn’t gotten better since Alvarez fight.
It seems like Conor created the environment around him where you either praise him and say what he wants or you're gone. And coach K was spineless enough to fit right into that environment instead of trying and probably failing to actually help Conor. So both are at fault.
@@David-ii2op well said
He's been more focused on becoming a billionaire disappointing for fight fans but can't blame the man his family are the real winners
@@David-ii2op spineless or not stupid enough to turn down millions?
Coach Kav is the problem imo. He didn’t know how devastating the calf kicks were and didn’t realise that it’s an obvious game plan in a fight between 2 south paw fighters. That’s one example of how he is lacking as a coach. He has always given a very poor analysis of all the other 155 fighters; always severely underestimated them and believed Conor’s skill was superior to theirs. That’s why Conor has been losing.
It's a damn shame but Kavanaghs credibility has diminished significantly
Like Conors
@M R He's always been a deluded yesman for McGregor.
What are you taking about kavanagh is a top man he’s well respected by everyone here in Ireland
Mcgregor should've been training in a gym with other high level UFC athletes a long time ago. Staying with a team of yesmen and second rate sparring/training partners was never going to be the key to continued success. Mcgregors ego was the secret to his success and his downfall.

Let’s be honest, Conor was begging for that Joe Rogan interview... *That man still had a temper tantrum to let lose* 😂
true ..but still joe could have denied...
Yea he was shouting and acting like a fool
@@cr-it5lh would u of denied him? I know i wouldn't of...we all wanted to hear from him considering he was so worked up..not typical behavior of a guy that just snapped his leg in half like we saw with chris and anderson
Imagine your leg snapping, think of all the pain, the rush of blood and adrenaline. I'm sure anyone would be in a short temper. If it was me I wouldn't even be as calm as he was. I would be crying and yelling like Anderson Silva lol
@@NamasteHome_ I would not be talking about my competitors wife lol Conor was just beeing a dick.. When ur in there i bet you dont feel alot cuz of the Adrenaline and the build up.
“There was a clinch” lol yeah, who went for the clinch and why? Fair play, he’s trying to avoid saying something that will embarrass his friend.
His boss
Conor doesn't have a coach anymore just a bunch of yes men around him
not friend to be clear, his boss. Connor has gone full Wilder at this point.
Soon to be ‘former friend”
“First one to shoot is a dusty bitch” Conor immediately as soon as dusting landed a straight left: goes for the clinch and initiates the wrestling sequence Also Conor, “I only count knockouts as wins the submissions and decisions don’t matter to me” Conor as they wrestle: goes for a guillotine I can’t be the only to think that’s funny lol
honestly this interview just makes me kind of sad. i used to love John Kavanagh, I thought he was one of the best in the business and a man of real integrity to boot. now it's clear he's just doing whatever it takes to keep the gravy train rolling. i don't blame him, he's got a family to feed, but I just thought he was better than this
So you drank the kool aid and rode the bandwagon n now you realize you're a fool
@@BUDDAz1g I was all over the bandwagon during the 2014-2016 run, I wouldn’t be here as an MMA fan today without that era in all likelihood. However, it’s clear things have changed. Conor changed and I think it’s clear that John and the rest of the team probably have too
Spot on. It's so sad to see such delusion. Even with the 2nd fight, to not have your fighter prepared for leg kicks in MMA...
He's the same in every interview, I can only listen to him for 1 minute. I've never understood why he's branded as popular. And the interviewer was more bothered about being liked by Kavanangah than having a decent q & a
the moment he coached for the man like Connor is the moment that he is done with integrity.
The way he’s talking you would think his fighter was Dustin 😂
@@ItalianStallionTV he is just happy someone is talking to him. Haha
Seriously
Not so much. That fight was far from over, in fact if conors leg didnt break it was going to round 2 on their feet.
@@emmcey Exactly
@@emmcey what? did you miss that conor became a mouthbreather after getting up from the ground?
Surrounded by YES MEN and they're killing his progress. He's become a parody of himself with all the antics and shit talk now
Yea when you literally have a whole team on your payroll, they are naturally incentivized to be slightly less harsh. But harsh environments like ATT in Miami create beasts
Shut up.
Or that's been his team from the BEGINNING stfu y'all don't know crap about being loyal
Didnt his coach just say the opposite of what Conor said in the cage? Everything he said was on point. Conor took no damage on the ground and Dustin used up alot of energy so Conor prob would have been fresher in the 2nd.
@@eamonshields2754 True, you can see that he is never put in those gnp positions often, because they suck. And he has people running hot foot baths for him, i mean come on
His first round analysis is delusional. He’s nice and stuff but I cannot imagine him being a good critic to a character like Conor, he’s a yes man
Not really
He sounds accurate to me.
My thoughts exactly. Sad deluded analysis. The guillotine attempt was made in desperation. Dustin was never in any danger. The loss of position this caused was clear to be seen. No mention of the outright cheating with intentional fingers in the gloves. I’m glad Connor is reaping what he has sown.
@@jasonbellotti822 nobody want to talk about Dustin putting his toes in the cage to get out of the Guillotine
@@Jj-ej8wh right on the button, Dustin cheated too and didn't highlight it. He and his wife both have a fake nice persona. I'm pretty sure as evryone claims his charity is a tax write off. Conor made all these fighters both famous and got em paid. They should be really thankful atleast lol.
Conor was barking at Dustin before the interview, if your team didn't want Conor to give post fight interview then he shud have kept his mouth shut
Connor was doing fine before his ankle broke? Really?
Connor groupies, they are trapped in dillusion. Combo of that and his social media team doing damage control (100% real)
The fight shouldnt have been stopped. Conor could have kept going lying on ground using his arms and doing upkicks with his right legg.
Was that Conors blood Ozzing from his ear? He didn’t look fine to millions watching. As The Blessed Express would say” It is what it is “
@@cluckycluck3053 Connor did display his rubber arms in his walk in ? That’s all he needed, he was robbed of being the the first winner of a fight that was on a stretcher leaving the octagon. FANATICS ?
I mean he started off fine,i thinks that more of what he meant but yeah dustin was mauling him up until the cheat
I just hope this man has the balls to tell Conor something he doesn’t want to hear
I’m sure this happened already .. did they have a falling out during the mayweather days?
@@VROOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM That he took a beating
He has choked Conor out before when Conor got cocky, he has talked about it before and Im sure he isnt afraid to choke him again.
yeah right, he is number one yes man
@@amorgan5844 when conor was just starting up ye and wasn't the highest paid athlete in the world. Kavanagh is clearly a yes man and is evident in this interview. Says he was happy with conors performance in round 1 when he looked awful, first time he lost round 1
I hope Conor spends some time at TriStar with Firas & Georges after he has recovered. A change of scenery might do him good.
Yes but conor is too loyal to do that I feel. John and conor go way back. Plus to be in the shoes of conor is absolutely insane. When all eyes are on every move you make. A switch will get sbg a negative review. And that will not be good for John's business. I don't see conor doing that even if it means it is good for him. Conor has used all his momentum to help his fellow colleagues.
Lol that will never happen, Conor wont leave his friend that makes him champion to where he is today
Conor should get the trainers from City Kickboxing amongst others to help him evolve as well...
You might be right or get some better partners to train with
that should have happened years ago
John desperately trying not to put his foot in it lol
Surely doesn't want to say something to upset "Sleepy McGreggor"
His foot is a fookin balloon
"not to speak lightly of death" how ironic
@@circaskater67 he'd still slap the shot out of you
This is like 2 days old though, he got it wrong about conor hitting Dustin's elbow right at end but yes, lol
I’ve said it all along, McGregor will never be at the top level again until he does what every other UFC fighter does and train with different top level UFC fighters from all weight divisions. It may have worked not doing it 5 years ago but McGregor isn’t what he once was. If he started training with the likes of Usman, Colby, Izzy etc etc we would see him improve and challenge again
I think conor is better now than he was 5 years ago. The big problem is, so is his competition. Everybody around him seems to have continued evolving. Conor seems to have just sharpened some of the shit he already was good at. But it doesn’t look like he had changed/added anything. And I think a big part of that is his camp. I mean think about it, Nobody outside of Conor has really had great success coming out of That Gym. And that’s not to say they’re that bad but he’s going against guys like Dustin who trains at fuckin ATT, they’re constantly changing, adding, improving. And due to loyalty, Conor will probably never leave SBG but I think that’s gotta be one of the first things he needs to think about doing.
IMO he is absolutely fantastic @145, and just good @155 McG also looked very small when standing next to Dustin at 155. Same goed for Max, fantastic @145 and just good @155.
Conor is 33 he has time 3 4 more fights in him ig? He can spend some time improving by implementing different gyms
That’s extremely false Izzy does not move around stipe there countless examples some of you guys make me laugh
Fully agree with you….iron sharpens iron and he needs to change things up. Not enough high level savages at SBG…
Imagine if Conor had a legit gym and not one filled with a bunch of yes men. EDIT: This comment isn't related to anything John said in the video necessarily, but after the fight his corner was telling Conor that they were feeling good heading into the second round and believe they would have finished Dustin. Something along those lines. Conor did not win a single minute of that first round and was close to getting finished. I don't think he would have came back and won this fight due to Dustin's pressure and pace he was putting on and it would have only got worse for Conor.
O no, he was doing great, they were going to tell him to come out in the 2nd and do more of the same.... like McGregor said, if he went to the 2nd round he would have won... if only he could get out of the first round with Dustin or any other top 3 fighter.
Wtf is up with this same comment, it was a freak accident. He was doing great lol it’s a fkn fight it’s not going to be total domination from one side or the other.
@@Gsxrnoob Doing get with 10-8 rounds, sure fangirl sure. You're more delusional than Conor is.

Yes Osama where u at long time no see
Conor spent 3 years after Khabib fight doing nothing and the rest of the division has better skills now. His legacy is over, whether we like it or not.
I think he still has the skill, it's just whether he has that same passion he had when he was making a name for himself, now it feels like he is just fighting for the sake of it with nothing to work towards
It's over boys.
@@georgeatkey1755 I disagree, Hairyhands is on point. Literally every other guy in the top 15 has been progressing while he has been stuck in the mud. His coach even admits in the interview they wanted to get back to the Center of the octagon and box. This is mma, not boxing.
He’s wasted his prime simple as that , he was levels above others and now they’ve caught up and even surpassed him
Career not legacy he will always be the first to break Aldos Chin and be simultaneous champ champ....and make the most money ect ect... After that horrific leg break it's why people with half a billion shouldn't fight in this sport can change your life any second....its insane he come back, it really is......now he will live with pain the rest of his life mentally and physically... How the FOOK was he able to do an interview with Joe between screams haha damn.... Love Hate with Conor hehe
So basically all I got from John is "Conor does whatever the fook Conor does", nice to see how its turning out for his fighting career
Yeah, ehm, thass abou roy
@Paul C and made money of a book
Was the part where Conor stuffs 3 fingers into Poiriers gloves and pulls Poirier towards upwards face kicks "drilled" too? Because he did exactly the same to Khabib.
👍
Sorry but Conor was literally asking for the post-fight interview, how can you not bring the mic to a man still shouting 'bollocks' across the cage?...he (Conor) needs to take the responsibility for that interview. Let's be honest, Conor WON'T be coming back from this, competitively anyway.
Finally someone who’s not delusional lmao, Conor was begging for the mic practically
Who needs enemies when you got friends like this... *Conor needs a wake up call, not a couple of yes men kissing his a** all day*

You talk like Conor wasnt sharp in that fight because he broke his leg. If you dont know what you talking about just dont comment. We had 1 round out of 5.

You probably dont understand half of what his coach is saying lol
I thought the post fight interview was a strange choice. Man needed to get to the doctor. UFC is like. "Have him hang out for a bit. We want to see what he thinks about his shattered leg."
Makes sense. Maybe it was him who wanted to express himself. He could have chosen to take the stretcher but he chose to stay and answer. This speaks a lot about him.
he was still talking though

Conor and his team making excuses like Wilder.
Conor broke his leg, Wilder just got broke.. it's a bit different. Wilder was outclassed, Conor was winning fight 2 until the leg and in fight three he broke his leg. Wilder was outclassed from the bell in fight 2. It's different.
@MartianMan2012 John shouldn't say he lost, I wouldn't. Not sure I call that a legit loss unless u really think Chandler lost to Primus...
John kavanagh just doesn’t know what he is doing. He really believed Dustin was going to fall for the same step back counters that Conor landed on Eddie and aldo. Mma has evolved that shit isn’t going to work as much as it used to.

@@emilgoubasarian9822 if you watch and pay attention through the years yes, Kavanagh is a bum yes man also. Now would you like extra salt sir?
A huge problem for Conor's usual tactics is that Poirier is a southpaw fighter himself, Conor struggles a bit against southpaws and it's evident
@@abcbizarre I really think that that is the issue. It really seems as if Conor has a bunch of yes men around him. I mean look at Ngannou, Usman, Whittaker, they all got better, they all got older and fight behind their jab, they move their heads, Cobor got hit by Piorier a bunch of times before he went into the clinch. Its absurd.
Should do the right thing and tell him he needs a 'easier' fight before whoever is next
exactly...
Connor couldn’t beat a yellow belt in karate
But what if Conor broke his leg the same way against an easier fight? Would you be saying the same thing? He broke his leg that’s all it was to it sad way to see a good fight end
You’re insane
I actually think he’s in the wrong weight class needs to drop to 145 but I doubt it. Also he’s aging bad because he is a power striker that explodes first two round for KO’s or he gassed out. That’s the way his body is bout and skill sets and it’s starting to prove he can’t really get guys now at his stage at that weight class.
I'm sorry but this time around Dustin was actually landing some solid shots on the feet aswell which led Conor To initiate the clinch
yeah sounds like COnor was winning, yeah right Dustin was lighting him up
@@rockade2408 Yeah no. Aside from the tight Guillotine from Conor there is no question that Dustin was the dominant fighter for the majority of the match.
this dude just told Dustin what to look out for when they fight again lol
Horrible coach, "miffed"
So he sid everything right and yet looked like that against Dustin? Well, I guess Dustin has evolved better than Connor
Exactly. Poirier has grown as a fighter and McGregor hasn't. Poirier is the better man.
Yea apparently Dustin had 1 good moment, yet from my tv it looked like Connor had about 1 minute of looking good then got smashed for 4 minutes. All he has is yes men around him his coach isn’t allowed to be honest
@@3232ruger My theory is Connors narcissistic personality dominates that training camp and anyone that criticizes him is shit canned. He's left with 'yes men' and will continue to falter until he's no longer a draw.
Definitely has, a true student of the art
Dustin didn't do much with his ground and pound he got elbowed and upkicked
“Conor, I know your ankle has been giving you problems lately but trust me, blast him with leg kicks.”
yeah make sense, this was the biggest load of horse shit.. He may had a fracture, so do leg kicks.. WTF..
Conor delusional and his team of yes men still stuck in 2016. Didn't know what calf kicks were a few months ago, trained him wrong and he snapped in half. Good job.
Alright I’d like to see you train him then lmao
Where are your belts?!
As much as I like John's knowledge, decency and loyalty, I can not buy this frankly.
It does seem too sugared. Needs a bit of condenming of his students behaviour both tacticly and verbally.
Yeah he always sugarcoats it so much. Even when dominated by Khabib, he said the fight was going according to plan until round 4. He says Conor managed to scramble back to his feet in the last 30 seconds when the only reason he got up was because Dustin was complaining to herb about Conor grabbing gloves, and he said Conor was landing beautiful upkicks when he was cheating to do so.
It’s like Edmund coaching Ronda, after the first round of fighting Holly & being battered she sat on the stool and he said ‘You’re doing amazing!’ And gave no further advice to her.
Johns is a assistant coach not a head coach
John isn't decent, he will just do and say as needs be to be keep the gravy train rolling his way. He has no morals, if he did then when Conor attacked that old man John would of condemned the attack and punished conor.
He was screaming and yelling doctor's stoppage and making gun signs, it's astonishing that he was still had so much poison to spout amidst excruciating physical pain
he’s sick.
You cry babies
He's a great showman, playing a fuckin wwe character
Softies. You all will pray for this dudes downfall, kick him while he’s down, insult him and his family, but when he talks shit then he’s gone too far.
it's astonishing that he was filled with shock and rage? It's a well known phenomenon that yelling helps with physical pain
What kavanagh was referring at 16:10 of the video is how the ufc 229 made bad publicity for conor at irlande and how a lot of politicians talk trash on their gym and conor in particular. That's way it was the lowest moment he can remember.
When Conor went down with Dustin in the guillotine, Conor could've made it even more effective if he had gotten his right leg over Dustin's left. This would've stopped Dustin from getting his ass up in the air and loosening the squeeze.
You can have the best team/coaches in the world, but if the fighter can never accept a loss or defeat (no matter how it happened) then they can only get so far and will never progress past a certain point.
It's precisely not being able to let go that won Conor the 2nd diaz rematch wdym
His camp can't even accept it. Meanwhile Dustin keeps sparring with killers at American Top Team. He'll never beat Dustin or any other top 5 fighter at this weight.
He didn’t lose, he broke his foot
@@wil3196 I'm sure that's exactly what Conor is telling himself as well.
@Nsjsksks Jsjshs Did you watch the fight when they announced a TKO win for Dustin? That would mean Conor lost. Not hating on Conor, just commenting on his mentality. Dominick Cruz and Michael Bisping have said the exact same thing. Two people who understand what it takes to bounce back from losses and be champions.
The injury makes sense if you look at how last fight went. They probably drilled checks and leg kicks a lot this time around and who knows how damaged his shin was going into the fight.

His own fault lol he's always had leg issues in his fights, I really don't see him winning another rematch if Dustin even gives him it
Remember he was super kick heavy for the Diaz 2 fight and was limping and hurt bad and he said his ankle was messed up for the khabib fight now this. I’m sure there has been some damage there for awhile now
Not strong enough guillotine you forgot to mention when he's putting his fingers on Dustins glove.
If you're going to mention that also mention Dustin's toes in the fence to escape the guillotine. In that case they both cheated once. I still think Dustin would've escaped it regardless, he's a BJJ blackbelt guillotine specialist and to try that on him was a mistake.

Looking back yes Dustin’s ground and pound looked solid but Conor’s face wasn’t beat to crap like I thought it would’ve been. His ear was messed up but that was it. So for someone to say that the fight would’ve ended a certain way is just not true. Did Poirier have some momentum, yes but momentum swings and I believe it would’ve kept swinging until there was a end to the fight
Well stated brother👍💯
Poirier only gets stronger as the fight goes on while McGregor's best round is the first. Blood was leaking from his mouth and his ear was busted. Even besides the ground and pound Dustin stunned Conor on the feet
I think Dustin would’ve been a littlegassed going into round 2 bc he went for the finish with the ground and pound
@@blankface40 Dustin doesn't gas, Conor would have been gassed going into the second though for sure after taking that beating
His ear had a scratch
I’m upset with the real hardcore fans and MMA Analyst who are acting as if Poirier legitimately beat Conor. Yes Dustin had a great round 1 but how many fighters have a great round 1 only to lose the fight? It happens all the time in MMA. For example, Chandler absolutely destroyed Oliveira in the 1st round, and then 1 punch from Oliveira in round 2 changed the whole fight. My point is that UFC 264 didn’t give us a conclusive ending and in my opinion the 4th fight needs to happen again. I wouldn’t mind seeing Dustin fight for the belt because he deserves it, but the 4th fight is only a matter of time.
Dustin is known for being AT HIS WORST in the first round and CONNOR is known to be AT HIS VERY BEST in the first round... we all know how that fight was heading man..
@@JFRKO93 Just like Nate is known to have endless cardio but Conor whooped him decisively in round 4 of the rematch. I don’t care about what a fighter is known or not known to do. The unexpected happens ALL THE TIME in MMA. Nothing is guaranteed in the fight game and if your a real fan then you would know that instead of disagreeing.
That broken leg saved him from a worse beat down!
@@coreymac6939 just like how khabib finished him in the 4th round? You can’t compare chandler vs oliveira either because they were both single solid shots that rocked one another. McGregor was being smashed and got 10-8’d by poirier in round 1
Perfectly stated. Love or hate Conor he has brought this sport into the spotlight, brings so many mma fans together at events both to see him win and lose, but people trashng him for his leg breaking are really sad people. We need a 4th fight.
Coaches who can't have a genuine sit down with their fighters and tell them you lost that round should not be coached. Conor is delusional thinking he was boxing the head off and kicking the legs off Dustin when he actually got smashed the first round, same with khabib. There's a built in safety net everytime he looses. And his coaches are supporting this attitude which is a complete shame since he will never grow from his mistakes
Dustin in his interview said connor hit him a couple times and after said and i quote " the kid can punch" i think the interview was with megan O

He is either lying or completely delusional about how the fight went. To say that at the 4 minute mark everything is going gravy is just insane when your fighter is getting 10-8ed in there.
John stop it with the excuses, regardless if it broke or not Connor was getting it handed to him. Let’s talk about his disrespectful comments about family. Dustin was beating him on the feet, the ground and gas tank. It’s a wrap for this guy, if he fights next I bet it will be against a fighter like Diego Sanchez LIKE CONNOR WANTED IN THE BEGINNING. ✌🏼to 1, it’s done Dustin got him twice. But we all know Dana will give him a rematch until he wins even if it takes 10 fights. Connor will never reach his top potential because he runs his training camps because coaches are scared to tell him no, or to coach. P.S it was properly finished by Dustin when he was taken out on that stretcher he mentioned, he shoved the mic in his face because he kept running his mouth so why not give him a mic 👍🏼
If you look at connor in the clinch and off his back and say anythint other then hes getting killed your lying to yourself, yes connor is in unreal shape but that ddoesnt make you a good fighter, Connor looked like a white belt off his back and in the clinch, Dustin just done what ever he wanted to with him. Boxing and not being trained right in mma ruined conner and that sucks to say bc I love the guy but he needs to be training for proper mma

He tagged him relentlessly in fight 2 and had some success on the feet even in the dreadful fight 3. Nobody was scared. I'm John did feel fine about it. It's a fight. DP was outclassed in round one of fight 2 but I doubt his corner panicked, it's fighting.
@@David-ii2op Look at round one of fight 2. Conor looked great. He dominated the round but DPs corner thought he looked good. It's fighting, there's ebb n flow. It's more about how guys are moving and reacting even if the result isn't there. Ppl need to understand that. How many fights have we seen the striker get controlled for half a round yet come back to win on the feet? Izzy vs Marvin 1, Conor vs Mendes, etc. It happens. It's a fight. We know Conor can land on DP, quite frankly I'm not sure how Dustin survived the first round of fight two. They've been there before, nobody was scared. Dustin can be hit. Connor can rock Dustin. It's a fight.

Never heard of makeup? I swear if you look at girls when they dont wear makeup you realize guys are actually the better looking gender (no homo) but its true.
Conor was demanding an interview.
@ur nan Xbox 360 vibes
He was demanding a doctor stoppage
Doesn't mean they had to let him.
@@relaxationmeditation499 it’s just the UFC wanting more headlines, content and ultimately…money
Yup. Dude was yelling so he has words to say. He has to keep his stock up.
Good break down from the coach following the marvelous breakdown from the fighter.
great unbiased interviewer
Kavanagh is the biggest yes man on the planet. Conors problem is that the entire devision had evolved so much since he fought Floyd and he’s the only guy that hasn’t. The fact that kavanagh can actually convince himself that Conor was “well on his way to getting the finish” is fucking insane. Conor was getting smashed before breaking his tibia end of story. If this fight had gone to the second round Dustin would’ve finished him no question. Conor came into the fight angry and throwing everything with 100% and it cost him.
I agree. He actually REALLY REALLY!!! pissed off Dustin with the stuff about his family. The scary thing was that Dustin was in full control of that anger and smeshed Conor to bits before the leg break.
@@TW7S95 thank you I completely agree
@@sooperd00p I agree. Conor is honestly lucky he broke his tibia cause now he has a built in excuse.
Conor is never going to evolve surrounded by yes-men and handpicked sparring partners. Dustin spars with 10 top fighters almost everyday… Conor is sparring with guys nowhere near the level of the talent pool at ATT…
Conor needs to take a year off before he will be 100 percent because of the injury the sport moves too fast, he should just pack his bags and leave his legacy with only minor scars
Are you a doctor?!
@@mitsos814 KZhead comment doctors are the best.
@@mitsos814 name a fighter that came unscathed after breaking their leg
thanks couch doc
@@hennyspiderman9974 first of all, he could be really a doc, so i asked, and second how the f he names a timeline??
Why is Conor going for Guillotine if he doesn't count those as wins? -Dustin checked him a few times -Give me a break, his whole team are complainers. Conor ASKED for the mic
18:17 That is one of the most impressive ways I've seen a interviewee try and get an answer. What a question!
False he didn't scrable to his feet , distin let him up whole yelling at the ref
Because Conor had just cheated lol
The guillotine was purely defensive. Conor was grasping for a way out. Even if the leg hadn't broken, he would've been had unless he landed a perfect shot before porrier came in close.
Did you even watch the fight? 🤦♀️
Yeah dude, a Gilly is not a defensive move 😂 I take it your not a JuJitsu practitioner. So funny when casuals try to sound knowledgeable. You can’t break down a fight when you take sides dude. It was planned just not finished. Not easy to execute on DP. He’s a beast but so is Connor.
"The guillotine was purely defensive." As Dustin was choking out and had to cage walk to get out of it. This is why injuries suck, especially after only going 1 round, no matter who you wanted to win, as fans this sucks for all of us, especially when love or hate him, Conor draws so many MMA fans together and for this to happen at an event of this magnitude just out of COVID really sucks.
Dustin actually used his toes in the cage to get out of it, new video out...the sub was in.... And yes John just said it was a drilled defensive measure designed to force Dustin to disengage on the fence where he is so good...Conor wasn't supposed to pull guard but he felt it in so did Dustin and ironically it's the same mistake Dustin made with Khabib Btw when he got up he threw everything he had on that left so he definitely had fight left in him, caught him with nasty up kicks too...Khabib did WAY more damage on ground did you see conors post surgery face zero cuts on his face or swelling had a tiny cut on ear...I admit it looked bad in real time but most didn't land.....
@@figster414 Give your opinion. Leave the term "casual" out of it. It doesn't help and makes you sound like an ass.
Always love how Coach Kavanagh breaks down the fight game 🧠💪
Love to listen to John 👏🏻 just hope it’s fully recoverable 🙏🏻 guys a legend and now watching everyone turn on him just makes me laugh. I’m sure Conor will come bk stronger than ever 💪🏻 so many turn coats in the chats 👀
he threw a dolly at a bus cheated on his wife uh also sucks homie
I disagree with John... Joe interviewing Conor wasn’t his decision, there are people talking in his ear piece to get sound bites for the rematch
Joe has to interview Conor in that situation
Connor is such a bjg star you dont need sound bites.. all you need is connor..
Conor was screaming at Joe, calling him over
In every main even you interview the winner and loser…
@@xwolfx8120 yea those iconic moments when they interviewed Silva and Weidman after their leg break...oh wait they were screaming and crying in such pain they couldn't speak and were rushed to hospital. They never interview fighters after horrific injuries.
John you have to step aside, Conor will never fire you. You always say that Conor is in top Shape when last performances have not been good.
Yeah conor is loyal he will never leave john. But john will never leave conor too because that's how he gets paid!
What’s he supposed to say? Connors training and condition is shit?
Maybe the game is just surpassing Conor cause everyone is getting better
@@CP1211 no but it looks like he doesn't say the true to Conor inside doors. For example Javier Mendez said Why Conor coaches din't tell him between rounds to check the calf kicks in the second fight? And the worst part of his corner was in the Maywheter fight when they said to Conor that he was doing a incredible job when he was obviously exhausted
@@GFY_FS Conor is a gifted fighter he just need to have partners and coaches at his level, because the game has impoved a lot in the last years
This is the problem right here. Put aside conor's ego etc, He's surrounded by yesmen in SBG and Kav. Conors footing the bill for the gym and these guys won't ever tell him the truth to his face. If he wants to reclaim his career, he needs to drop SBG and join a real gym that'll destroy his ego every day
blablabla ..where do you fight? who do you train? where is your belt?
wanabe expert🤡
I love McGregor and have a world of respect for John but @quanny has a point
You better tell us who advised Conor to do contrast baths for the shin before the fight, alternating between ice and hot water !? In this way, glass bottles can be cut without the aid of a glass cutter. First, the bottle is dipped in boiling water to the desired level, and then dipped to the same level in cold water, and it gently bursts in a straight cut. The same thing happens with the shin bone, because at the bottom the bone is practically not covered by the muscles and receives a temperature shock. No wonder Conor's leg broke. How did he walk after these procedures. The one who advised him these contrasting procedures is his enemy.
1st rd Judged 10-8 Coach K- we were on or way to another Eddie - like Masterpiece !
yeh the dumbest 10-8 score ever lol dont know how 2 judges gave it a 10-8 when Dustin literally won the 2nd half of the round after losing the 1st half 😂 but some say they went from a 10-9 to 10-8 at the very end when Conor dropped due to his broken leg, they thought it was a knockdown
@@rbaz9454 Yh no chance that was a 10-8
@@rbaz9454 was conor winning the first half when Dustin was landing combos and made conor shoot the first takedown? watch again Mcasual
Love how that's all they could reference too, a fight that happened over five years ago 😄
Obviously cause they thought it was a knockdown in the last few seconds.
Joe did nothing wrong since Conor was talking during Dustin's post fight interview. If he wants to talk let him talk
I love the confidence Kavanagh has in Conor .He is a great coach..Main thing Conor needs to do is heal and then stay active...Once he stays active he still has 5 great yrs..It actually got me excited to see Conor so upset..He couldve been like Tyson and to Lewis and said " Thanks for extra mills I dont even need"Conor was heartbroken..I wish him a speedy recovery and Im always excited to see biggest star in sport fight..From trainers coachea parents to his MacLife page Conor has smart guys around him...Laura go get em.
I really appreciate the utter honesty and passion that he was opening up about. I will always love seeing Conor compete, no matter the record, IDC. As long as Conor is doing something he loves, I'll greatly enjoy seeing him compete. I hope he heals well and then they get really creative at their approach with their fighting style. I feel like Conor has so much skill we have yet to really see him lean into. I'd like to see him compete against different opponents and he can finish this set of fights with Dustin once he gets his flow back after the healing process because leg injuries really are no joke to bounce back from. I recently had my ACL replaced and it was such a pain of a recovery. I'm still not what I used to be before the injury. Can't skateboard or run like before. I hike, walk as my only exercise with my dogs. I miss the hyperactivity before the injury but I just immensely hope Conor recovers amazingly. But maybe new opponents is exactly what Conor needs to get going again. I'll watch McGregor, O'Malley, Izzy, Wonderboy compete no matter what! IDC about records. As long as the athlete is enjoying what they're doing and learning from their mistakes I will always enjoy watching them all compete because I love their fighting styles. I'd love to see a bigger implementation of a game plan that focuses on hitting but not getting hit much by moving a lot. Bring back those tucking looping uppercuts mixed into his combos like his debut fight. Body, side, push kicks, attack the body to open the guard to the head. I'd love to see just how creative Conor and his coaches can get. The dude is insanely skilled. I feel like we've barely seen 50% of his skills. Good luck healing up! I'll always be cheering you on.
If everything was 'on point' then he needs a new team, or just retire. It's over.
I saw conor losing that fight before the break. Your right though. I think his best days are behind him. It's over.
Conor doesn"t have the drive he had before. He was primed to have a massive run after the eddie fight but he built himself to a billionaire with a big name. After he left Dustin came up, khabib, justin, olivera and now guys like dariush. Only randy and gsp can return after years and be the top guy conor can't
Be doesn't need to retire, he just needs to fight people further down the rankings. The nate diaz fight makes a lot of sense new
DELUSIONAL… Dustin was tuning his ass up… He knows Connor sucks on the ground…. Connor wouldn’t have lasted another round and a half anyway.
Conor was winning the stand up and landed shots on the ground. Stop talking bullshit
Two smart people having an insightful, entertaining conversation. Refreshing.
Dude I like this camp I do. But Conor needs to go to Firas. Train with people who aren’t yes men to be able to ride to the top again. They are just letting him do whatever he want. The fight wasn’t good. Them telling him this isn’t going to help him at all.
Firas would think twice before training Connor I am sure. Connor is currently way too toxic as a person
@@peterwestenthaler7954 100% I believe Firas was actually asked if he would train Conor and his response was as long as he shows humility and respect when entering the gym, he would train him.
This. And it needs to happen like yesterday. He ain't getting younger either.
I watched the fight and I watched a different fight from this guy. I don’t think he is doing anyone any favors by spinning Connor’s mistakes in a positive light.
He's the MMA expert, i guess is that, he sees things that we can't see
Dustin was hammering him on the fence. A little more than "decent" strikes
It's never a good time to break a bone. But when you do it at the worst possible time. It's so maddening. I've been there. I totally understand the frustration and anger displayed by Connor. And add on top of the being fired up from fighting.
Conor needs to change camps.. Kavanagh always laughing and smiling, nothing serious about him anymore. He'll say anything to flatter conor.. But improve him
they need a new approach. but he will never leave john. they both started this whole thing together from the beginning. loyalty is what matters. i can tell you have no loyalty towards ANYONE
@@TTCSniping Relax, bud. That's a big assumption. There's no bigger waste of time than misplaced loyalty.
@@mckevittmck it's not misplaced, Conor's leg didn't snap because of misplaced loyalty or a bad team. Stop talking literal shit.
100%
@@Pat315 conors team didn't pick up on the leg kicks after round 1 in thr fight in January. They just told him to keep doing what he was doing even though dusitn was attacking that calf
This is the first time I've seen Conor not be humble in defeat. It's a slippery slope at this point. He's really at the point where it's make or break now. One more loss and absolutely no one cares about mcgregor anymore
I dont even think it has to do with the winning and losing anymore, at this point he's just isolating himself from all of his fans by acting like a rich snob. His meltdown in the octagon after along with his tweet "you need people like me" puts the first bit of disrespect towards him I've ever had into play. I didn't care about all of the thug/bad shit he was doing, but acting like a rich snob who deserves it all is what will be his downfall.
It was pretty shitty how he was acting but I do think you need to think from his perspective that after months of hard training he lost due to an injury like that
Really? He bitched and whinged for literally years after losing to Khabib.
Dustin was talking shit and mocking him so he was firing back.
I think I'll give him a pass for what he said in the octagon. I reckon I'd lose my composure too if my leg had just been snapped lmao. And id just been in a fight
Conor: Kavanag give them an excuse why i Lost Kavanag: Yes Men i will
Exactly! Connor doesn't have a trainer, he has a yes man! That's the root of the problem. You can't let a fighter run the training camp!
Why not add the “h” when editing your comment?
He lost because his ankle snapped you simp
“Launch the excuse”. Earn ya Fookn paycheck”
@iONiT Chandler was beating Oliveira's ass too, then the second round came.
Did anyone notice conors lack of head movement? it's like he traded leg kicks for head movement
what are you talking lol he got hit 3 times wiht a jab and 1 good Cross Dustin landet nearly no Punches on the Feet and the Ground and Pound also misst mostly rewatch the Fight you hate Conor and your mad it didnt end in a fast Knockout in 40 Seconds People over react badly here!
@@Herogames2022 Conor was getting rocked on the feet and panic clinched.
@@satan4o Because he clinched means he got wabbled ^^ your so full of Shit Wrestling Dude what you expect you life in a dream World!
Great interview vibe, direct and friendly cool cool
kav is turning into a delusional yes man
He always was. Poor Conor. He should have dumped him after the Nate Diaz 1 fight.
Now we are reduced to searching those moments when conor was doing better than poirier to make a case that we should score the fight every 5 seconds separately so conor can win a few of those 5 second slots.
He was absolutely winning the first 5 seconds of the fight
@@Connection-Lost Yeah but then Dustin took over
