Conor landed some clean shots in the first. The difference is they are both up a weight class, dustin chin is much better at 55. Without cardio I dont think conor can beat the top 55ers. I mean damn imagine charles vs conor. Conor would get destroyed....he needs fight tony now that Tony is a shell of himself to get the glow back. Washed tony isn't an easy fight either...

I ll gladly admit i didnt think justin had it in him, so thats that, i hate conor so happy to be wrong.
Funny masvidal on instagram guessed all fights correctly incouding conor.
Gsp was never gonna cone, dude doesnt enjoy fighting he likes to seel stuff on instagram and take ice baths. Khabib has no reason to cone back, he ll grow his presence more in abu dhabi, he is making a killing there.
Masvidal vs conor would be entertaining
Or nate vs conor too.
I know conor is 32 but ha made so much money there is not much fire in him anymore.235pounds to 168 in 4 months. 35% BF to 19% and counting lower every day. it is doable as long as you put your mind and soul into it and discipline. We all are going to make it.

Conor's straight right is still devastating at 155. His power translates fine and he's not undersized whatsoever. He uses his reach great and lands his 1-2 fairly easily against most guys. He was tagging Dustin and thought he could pick him apart and there was no need to get too aggressive too early. Ironically that was a mistake in hindsight given a bit of space allowed Dustin to land those leg kicks that crippled his movement and the rest is history. His problem is obviously his lack of defense/well-roundedness.
I'm a big Dustin fan but didn't see him winning like that. Thought MAYBE he could drag Conor into a war of attrition and beat him that way but no guarantee being Conor still got Nate in their rematch in a fight like that. His chin is holding up awesome lately but still gets hit too much. Dude is so easy to root for. Give him the undisputed belt please. Fantastic game plan to attack that lead leg. He ate some punches to do so but it was absolutely the right gamble. Nobody else has done that to Conor and, in hindsight, is absolutely the most obvious way to get the upper hand in the standup. I still don't think anyone at 155 (maybe even 170) should want to stand and trade hands with Conor.
Tbd if we see the "old Conor" back or if this loss makes him question himself in the ring moving forward.

Distance control
They are hardly a "cheat code" mcgregor was just flat footed ASF tonight as was that boulder looking guy against izzy a few months back.
It's the same as any other shot you just don't stand in range of it, it's like like standing on the end of a solid jab, but some idiots will always be susceptible
MMA fighters seem to have very poor tactical awareness on the whole

Lmao Conor it's all over boyo. Was loling so hard at the Conor fanboys acting like this fight was a shoe in for Conor, despite the fact he's fought once in 4 years while Dustin has been active as ****, that lone was pissing me off that they think he can just sit on his ass then come back whenever he wants and beat one of the best. **** OFF.
