Conor landing a huge left hook on Poirier captured from rare angle

“He hurt Dustin with that punch. Dustin is HURT”

Nate Diaz held the camera.

Conor has really good MMA-Boxing. Why fighters go full retard and decide to stand with him is beyond me. (I'm looking at you Eddie Alvarez...)
 
But that is the punch where Dustin broke Conor's tooth.

I wonder if that is the shot that set up the KO.

It was weird how the shot that put Poirier down was a glancing blow that kind of hit him in the back of the head.

This gif makes me think he was already super stunned.

I bust McG and his fan-boyz balls quite a bit, but his run at FW was pretty cool. He was merkin mo-foz.

Just wish he could have defended.
 
Whats crazy is they both traded left hooks in that moment, both caught each other flush. Conor really is a beast and did bring an innovative style of movement, striking, and stance. His wider karate stance looked like it helped put more power on his hook and kept him balanced after taking the shot from poirier. After he got hit he also did a karate step out.

Poirier had a basic MMA/wrestle-boxer stance and got badly hurt by the hook. I wonder if this was all coincidence or if Conor really noticed all these things about the current batch of MMA fighters.

Also, Conor's chin is fucking good.
 
Funny thing is the commentators didnt even notice this punch
Not sure if trolling or retarded. The punch occurs with 3:45 on the clock in round 1. Mike Goldberg immediately says, "And another shot lands for Mcgregor."

You are fake news.

Now, you want to talk about a strike everyone missed, look at OAM vs Dunham. OAM lands a left straight to the body which hunches over dunham at 4:28, yet the commentators completely fail to notice that dunham was hurt. OAM lands a knee to the body 10 seconds later which ends the fight. The punch is never acknowledged until OAM tells rogan that he hurt dunham with the punch, and rogan ignores him.

You cant even catch it in normal speed, the guy is seriously with those hands I mean we all know its coming and it makes absolutely no difference.

He got rocked by a left hook prior to the glancing blow. I think this is the shot. He was definitely on wobbly legs... that is why Conor was talking to him and walking him down.
