Because I feel like for Conor/Dustin II I didn’t make a prediction that early, I waited until the month of the fight. This time, I feel even more confident than I did last time, and I feel like Conor’s childish Twitter antics have definitely influenced that confidence. Conor imo doesn’t have the same mentality of the guy who won the belt at 145 and 155. People change, especially when you take big breaks and lose focus like Conor has time and time again. Conor wants to have his cake and eat it too in the UFC, and that shit isn’t gonna fly anymore. I don’t want to get too ranty in this thread so I’ll try to keep it short. Conor isn’t evolving, he isn’t being tested sufficiently either in his current camp. The game has clearly passed him by too, people revelled in Conor’s shoulder strikes in the Cerrone fight, but were quick to let him off the hook for Dustin’s calf kicks. The calf kicks are just another indicator that the game has passed Conor by, something that most well-rounded fighters have incorporated for quite some time completely flummoxed this supposed “world-beater”. That’s all for this thread Sherbros, what do you guys think? Am I right or wrong? Flame away and please bump when Dustin wins again, thanks.
