Dana White Worried About Conor's Ring Rust

[ReadWrite]

Last Fight: Oct. 6, 2018

“I heard that Conor is in phenomenal shape right now,” White told TMZ Sports. “The UFC doctor says he thinks Conor is in the best shape he has ever seen.” His thoughts seem to be in the right place. Fight rust is real - I believe in it. Let's see how it will be.”

Rogan finally asked Kavanagh if the two-year hiatus played a factor in the outcome. The coach conceded that ring rust did play a part. He added that they tried to duplicate the fight setting in the gym, but ultimately that’s impossible.

“Absolutely, of course, of course.”

Dana White must be sweating so hard, hoping Conor wins this fight because an entire 2020 financial projection is riding on his success. <45>

Hope Cowboy derails that train hard.

Trying to hype up the fight and make it look closer than it is.

Conor should smoke Cowboy if he decides to stand. Cowboy got hit with clean shots before beating the shit out of Hernandez. If that was Conor he would have not made it out of the first round.

I don't believe fitness level determines ring rust. It's a mental issue, not a physical issue, according to GSP. Also, if he's been in a celebrity gym culture, as reported, he is more likely to start mentally soft.
