Beating the 145lb champ earns you a title fight? So Conor earned his LW shot?
Going 9-1-1 in the division culminating in an Interim title win earns you a title shot.

You're talking as if Conor knocks out everyone he fights. He got outstruck by Khabib, bro. Conor's cardio can't hold up with either Max or Dustin, and they'd finish him late imo.Based on tonight I don't see how you could make this statement unless you hate Conor.
Poirier hurt Max badly multiple times, and Poirier got hurt by Max. Yet someone they'll strike with Conor and win.

You're digging yourself a bigger grave, seeing as Conor was an undefeated UFC FW and on a 14 fight win streak (including a 1st round KO over Poirier) when he got his first title shot.
You wanted likes from the Conor hating crowd, that's cool if that's your thing. But it was still retarded.

Poirier actually earned his LW title shot
Meh, I disagree but you could be right. Unless a fight happens we'll never know. True, Conor has beaten both, but they were in a different weight class a long time ago, I don't think either are that relevant to refer to in terms of what we might expect to see from them now.Khabib landed a single good punch. He didn't outstrike Conor, that's silly to say that unless you value that one punch over everything else they spent striking at distance that Conor won throughout the fight. They spent an entire round standing and Conor outlanded him 44-17.
You're also assuming either Poirier or Max even survives late to finish Conor. Max just got dropped and hurt multiple times in the first 2 rounds, Poirier was hurt in the 3rd by a pillow fisted volume puncher and already got KO'd in the first by Conor already. I'll take the guy with the better skillset over the guy you have to assume survives an ass kicking until his opponent tires themselves out from kicking their ass down to a more manageable level. That Homer Simpson strategy worked until Home actually fought someone skilled in Tatum.
Best trolling in the game
Conor bless
Agreed. Nate could have won an interim title tonight, but nope. I'm sure he'll spin it like he got screwed as the Diaz brothers always do.
Colin swooping In the steal the shot {<Mcgoat}haha no, its a TITLE SHOT next.
McG still grasping at straws for da hematch
Poirier sat out for an entire year until Khabib refused to lower his suspension or even fight while off of it, meanwhile Tony turned down fights to throw holy water at his son. And then fought a FW who has never fought at LW that he already had a win over.
