Dustin Poirier : "He hurt me with the left hand. He flashed me good, i could have been really hurt"

[Hazuki Ryo]

The quote is more like "if he had pressured more and hit me again with it, i would have been really hurt".

So, just like in the first fight, it's not as one sided as people like to think. Dustin weathered the storm, punished his leg, and came back strong in the second round.

A third fight would show a different outcome maybe, but props to Dustin for being hard to put out

maybe but wonder how conor will look after this tko loss with less confidence might make it hard for him to pull the trigger

This is what you call the bargaining phase of denial OP

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Just giving Conor some feel good points to sell a trilogy since he doesn’t want to face Chandler or Oliveira.


Conor’s left did absolutely nothing now that Dustin isn’t severely dehydrating himself to make 145.


Conor spammed his typical lefts in the first, then got knocked out. End of story.

After seeing Connor tonight he better not fight Gaethje...

 

[DarkneT]

The minute Dustin started pointing at him and talking to him the clinch I knew it was over

i still think he beats gaethje

 

[BetoG695]

i still think he beats gaethje

apparently connor didnt know about calf kicks.... Gaethje's kicks are brutal compared to dustins.....

A third fight would show a different outcome: more drunk Conor with this Proper 12 fans supporting him in that

It's really better than cutting. That makes a mess.

 

[Normot]

Dustin will say whatever he needs to say to make sure Conor does his part in donating the $500k to the kids.
This quote is far less interesting than what he said about the shoulder strikes. Are shoulder strikes legit? Is it the new tool?

Gaethje is also orthodox, Conor couldn't check Dustin's kicks because he's a southpaw

Not a chance in my mind after seeing that. He would be very very hesitant and uncomfortable against Justin after experiencing the leg kick damage.

True, Dustin became a man and realised he is elite

One or two kicks from Gaethje would drop Conor but one or two left hands drops Gaethje too. This is the fight to make next imo.

Would be a sick fight, no doubt but Justin would be the clear favourite imo.

So Dustin's lying then ?

 

[r-harper-1]

I knew Conor would lose as soon as he got in the cage .... he looked lost and had a concerned look on his face

I bet you Poirier wears more than 10 lbs heavier than he weighed the first time he fought Mac.

 

[The Half Blood Prince]

This is the first time Conor has been knocked out ever in his entire MMA career

Just goes to show how big the result is
