Conor beat Dustin because Dustin was too drained

[FutureBwChamp]

He definitely takes a better shot at 155 but his head is bouncing off the canvus again. Why didn't he ko Conor who looks like death at 145lbs

Dustin’s fight weight is almost 190 pounds. He’s really filled out nicely. And as you can tell by his ko records, that weight has transferred directly into power. He’s a totally different dude at 155

You're sure it's not 290 pounds?

Yes...

Dustin physically looks fantastic at 155. Dude is completely filled out when he's fighting.

I just don't believe that chin can hold up with Conor's left hand.

those images are disturbing

I don't know how those two made 145 for so long. Dustin is currently the heaviest lw on fight night I believe, unless someone weighs more than 183lbs.

Super heavyweight dustin could easily win against conor, if he got it to the ground.

Of current day lightweights yeah probably.

I guess you don't have monster cutters like Tibau at 190lbs anymore. Those ATT guys were doing monsterous weight cuts back in the day.

Like Alves at his 170lbs peak:

Compared to his early days of 170lbs.

It was also death for Conor at 45

 

[Kvothe_the_kingkiller]

He was top 5 then (no source, I read it in an article) and an underdog. Today he’s a top 5 in a different division and an underdog. Both have evolved.

Should be a good fight.

Man, that's just crazy looking at those guys. Tibau looks like a freaking Tank in that first pic...

That's my point

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

Ya I never understood why ppl claimed Dustin was drained and Conor wasn't. if anything Conor usually looked more drained. I really think any gain in durability will be offset by the increase in power from moving up in weight.

That said, I'm not expecting a similar style of finish like how Conor won the first time (hook that landed behind the ear). I still expect him to win, but Dustin should be able to show a bit more.

That's crazy. He doesn't seem that big to me. He must just be built solidly.

For sure. His durability is much better, his cardio seems better. This is the weight he is meant to be at.

This fight is gonna be bananas.

Pulling numbers out of your butt, I see. Dustin's fight weight is nowhere close to 190. He recently said that the biggest he ever got, in terms of walk around weight, was 190. And that was back when he was fighting at FW and would balloon up in between fights.

“176 was the highest I weighed at 145” ? Not sure what you’re confused about. He’s talking about featherweight. He’s a lightweight fighter, and he said he weighed 190 for khabib
