In hindsight, Conor may have been better off if he had fought Chandler

[Garnet_StrongerThanYou]

Dustin was the wrong choice.

Too good. Too well rounded.

Chandler is a great fighter but an aggressive glass cannon.

Conor could have caught him coming in and flatlined him with some of the shots he hit Poirier with.

We could be seeing Conor Oliveira and Dana would be counting his money even more so.

Oh wel.

Chandler would’ve took him down and pounded him out most likely...But Conor would have a good chance to land a fight alternating strike

Chandler against Conor?

I'd have to favor that like 25-1 in Conors favor.
That's one of the most easily predictable fights and honestly just a cash grab.
Were you being serious...?

 

[Argonaut]

Chandler starches glasses cannon Conor with quickness.
Chandler has been active and putting in time. Has just as much power and speed and 10x the ground game.
Conor would get dropped and finished in 2.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Chandler finishes what Mendes started.

Everyone seems to forget even Poirier said in the rematch Conor almost knocked him out in the first.

Now imo the most winnable fight for McGregor is Gaethje. They guy's head movement is non existent and his entire defense strategy is chin. As soon as he attempts a leg kick a straight left is coming right down the pipe.

True, a KO/TKO loss is better than getting your leg broken

Agree 100%

I’ll take that bet .....my $1000 vs your $25,000....I’ll pm you

 

[User4908]

Better against Gaethje who doesn’t use offensive wrestling and isn’t as tight on his punches.


Chandler would use his wrestling on Conor without hesitation.

Still a steal

 

[Unfinished]

Conor would KO him inside first round.

 

[tman888]

Conor needs to stay away from anyone that has decent power.

 

[D'z]

He would have been better off remaining at 145.

I dunno about that one. Conor's power doesn't translate the same at 155, and you gotta do a lot to get Gaethje out of there. Be dicey for Gaethje early, but good chance he weathers the storm and finishes Conor in the 3rd or 4th.

 

[Streeter]

Conor beats Chandler more times than he loses as Chsndler has a glass chin. DP crushes either

 

[HockeyBjj]

Chandler would have wrestlefucked Connor tho

he's a good gameplanner. He wouldn't try to continually dart in on someone with known power and timing, knowing that guy also has a massive grappling weakness.

Switch right hand to a double leg in under 30 seconds

 

[skylolow]

Chandler definitely has better chance of blitzing through Conor in dominant fashion than Dustin, but I believe Conor would have a better shot at landing that one KO punch on Chandler over Dustin at this point. Pick your poison I guess as I see both fighters a very tough win for Conor at this point.

The real reason he picked Dustin I believe had more to do with PPV draw. I think he feels Dustin is a bigger draw than Chandler.

 

[Draxton]

Conor needs to stay away from anyone that has decent power.

Or weighs in at more than 146

 

[Tevfik1907]

Worse, Chandler might be a better wrestler than Poirer.

 

[mmacrisis]

Conor can't beat anything except himself these days. Sorry but it is time to accept he hasn't improved at a single aspect of MMA in years and the field has.
