Conor beat Dustin because Dustin was too drained

“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
According to his own words, Dustin walked around heavier as a FW than he does now. And that was 190, which means he walks around lighter than 190 now. So you're suggesting that his in-cage weight is higher than his walk-around weight? What exactly are you confused about?

Dustin Poirier was asked, “What did you walk around at featherweight as compared to now?” To which ‘The Diamond’ replied, “Not a whole lot different honestly. I used to get heavier when I was at featherweight – 190 pounds. I would balloon up to 190 pounds, a couple of weeks after the fight.”

And since you brought up the Khabib fight, here's what Dustin's nutritionist said the week of that fight:

"I’m estimating that Dustin will most likely be stepping into the octagon at around 175 pounds come Saturday night."

There was an article showing his weights been increasing lately. He’s been bulking up each fight.

3 fights ago was around 183, 2 fights ago was 186, hooker was 189. That’s what I remember. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

I recall Hooker himself saying that Dustin was noted by officials to be ~182lbs on fight night of their fight last year. He said it this week
 
Nah. Conor beat Dustin because Dustin is absolutely horrid with southpaws. He's going to do it again too, and I'm no Conor fan.
 
I NEVER trust fighters who claim their cage weight and height numbers

So a mysterious "article" said he was 186 2 fights ago? You mean the fight against Khabib, where his nutritionist said he was 175 (in a real article that I actually provided the link for)?

When you're just making up facts to support your premise, and somebody calls your bluff, it's probably best to admit you were just BS'ing and take the L. That is, unless you can actually provide the source of this fictional information, in which case I'll happily say I was wrong.
