Conor looked OLD in there

[Berkowitz]

Yep 100% - he is still in amazing shape to the naked eye, but he gassed hard and had no answer for the low calf kick.

 

[DivineMind]

I thought he looked great in round 1, was lighting Poirier up and fast, precise strikes. Didn't have an answer for those calf kicks, then a compromised leg + fatigue + caught up against the fence all at once and it was over.

He's always been a 145er imo, his power doesn't translate that well. And he can't take 155er power.

 

[TheGreatA]

His face looked like that of a 50 year old man.

Overall he just look very weak and fragile.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

Conor should have blitzed. It's his whole thing.

 

[Rico]

He looked slow to me if anything. The pop was still there but they weren't coming as fast as they used to.

 

[DrunkMonkMeth]

he looked good early.. but porier took his legs.. then took his soul

 

[OldFashion]

"Fighter X needs to retire"-threads should be banworthy after every Event. It's getting fucking tiring

 

[Satchm0]

Conor has always looked like he's old.

 

[7th]

Ha! Conor's just a one truck pony. Good left if the other guy is there for it. This fight was practically a replay of the first Nate fight. Pourer was hard to hit then lit him up when Conor got tired.

 

[donkeyjr]

Too much muscles, he look slow as hell compare to himself and I'm a Conor hater.

 

[Fist As A Verb]

Very happy for Dustin. Sad for Conor. But that's what you get for wasting your prime years away from the octagon snorting coke and partying.

Conor is done I think

I don't think he's anywhere near done. It is sad. Bittersweet. I'm happy for Dustin. I've always like Conor. I wish the best to them both.

 

[Huligani]

He looked fine until his leg got really beat up. His timing was still on point, punches in both hands very precise, but in round 2 he was a one legged opponent.

 

[Savagewolf]

It's a natural result. You can't put in a fight once a year or more and expect to stay fighting sharp. Your talent and camp will help to make up for a lot of the rust, but not all of it.

 

[w00t]

He doesn't have that bounce like he had back in his early days. He looked slow and old, but that's what happens when you become mega rich and fighting isn't your life anymore.

 

[cooljay1622]

looked old with that bald head.

 

[deltapapha]

Conor needed money. No eye of the tiger any more. But Dustin is now on par with prime Conor.

 

[ZOD66]

Too much alcohol

 

[HelpYouFall]

Conor should have retired after Floyd loss. Floyd almost killed him and he’s not been the same since.

This is an interesting point. Floyd smacked him around so bad for quite a long time. And people still thought he could have finished that fight ll´

 

[nmlongbow]

Still fighting 6 more times in the next 18 months?

 

[Gas121]

Conor was completely gassed after two rounds. The kicks hurt him but my god he is finished at the top.

Khabib would have absolutely smashed him to bits.

 

[downthepines]

Cleaned a good portion out of his chin, made him worse at fighting forever. I thought DP was fucked, Nope.
