Conor was going for the fastest knockout record against Cowboy

[The Chosen]

I can’t believe people don’t realize Conor was going for an under 5 second knockout against Cowboy so he could beat Masvidal’s record while he’s sitting front row. Maybe Conor will try this against Masvidal’s teammate Dustin Poirier this weekend.

I'm glad Cowboy was trying to help his Irish buddy.

 

[Goh]

If your theory is correct, maybe that's why he also asked to fight diego.

Agreed, I said this even before the fight, and he almost did it with that first punch.

Is that why he threw that terrible punch? Off balance falling into Cowboy, who despite easily taking down Jamie Varner, somehow forgot how to grapple.

It's almost like he was there for a paycheck, and not to fight.

No shit. Thought that was obvious by him throwing a massive sloppy haymaker in the first second lol

 

[Luthien]

Conor is record hungry bless him

It’s obvious he was just there for the paycheck. Cowboy is mentally weak

Conor is looking absolutely shredded RN. Dustin is about to get wrecked.

This. He almost comically overcommitted on his first punch and was ripe for a counter or a takedown. But Cowboy shit the bed so hard in that fight it looked fixed, though I don’t believe it actually was.

Yeah for sure. Cowboy was so prepared to give 100% to losing that the fight looked fixed. Donald was the first one at Jackson's to take Bones down in practice, but now struggles taking down a guy that far off balance who has shown an extreme weakness to submissions?

God damn, Cowboy had the perfect opportunity to put Conor on his ass in the first few seconds. This fight was such a let down.

Cowboy has never been one to chain wrestle. It be what it be

if only CM followed up with the knee

I think CM was about 3 steps behind. He appears to have the reflexes of a sloth.

Conor is kind of a dick for picking these guys to be honest

Imo CM punks Punch was more accurate.

Power is not quite the same though.
