If you could tell McGregor one thing to beat Poirier

[MrCoffee]

concealed weaponry is your only hope

What is your av from? Not Frisky Dingo, but maybe some other comedic gold?

 

[ID0ntTap]

Kick him in the dick!

 

[Joe_Armstrong]

Sweep the leg.

 

[YES Cartwheel]

I'd tell him "Go get your fuckin' shine-box".

 

[SooBahkDo]

"More movement" sounds good but requires better cardio to maintain. So it goes back to his cardio.

Everyone has a price. For around $10-15 million, Dustin would throw the fight.

I bet you he’d throw it for 5 million

 

[wanted226]

I wouldn’t tell that motherfucker SHIT

You sad bitter bitch!

 

[DebtCollectorMMA]

Listen to Artem.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Go balls to the wall in the first round because you're not winning a prolonged fight

 

[Iroh]

Break Dustin's shin with a well timed and placed block and... *coach Edmond voice* HEAD MOVEMENT, HEAD MOVEMENT, HEAD MOVEMENT!!!!!

 

[mjfan23]

You can throw kicks too this isn’t a boxing fight

 

[GearSolidMetal]

What would be the one piece of advice you'd give Conor to beat Dustin in the rubber match?

I know everyone is going to say to check the leg kicks but I think I would tell Conor to throw more of his own kicks whether they be to the legs or the body.

Full disclosure - I dislike McGregor and Poirier is my favorite fighter.

So rather than state my 'advice' for McGregor I'll state my advice to Poirier for what my biggest fear McGregor might do.

And this would have been my advice in the rematch as well.


Conor's style and muscle mass is perfect for fast and powerful strikes and his quick and illusive body movement and footwork. But his endurance is horrible and is significantly weakened by the second half of the first round if he's pressured.

The worst case scenario for Poirier and highest probability for Conor to win is for Conor to blitz him in the opening minute for a quick win.

it seems as if conor has stopped training with real fighters. thats what he needs, is some real competitive training.

 

[bobgeese]

Wake up, go jog 10 miles.

 

[DoNoootin]

"Karate."

 

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

Do exactly what he did his whole career: swing for the fences in R1/R2 hoping to get a KO. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

I don't think there is anything more to it and we all know that Conor generally has no hope to win past R2...

 

[gotBooched]

You sad bitter bitch!

I gave some helpful advice later in the thread

 

[JumJum]

Train with max in Thailand. That was his secret for his crazy recent performance

 

[PeacePipe]

Take him down.
