John Edmond Kavanagh: Chandler and Justin “easier” than Poirier.

[JonJonesNeedle]

Agree.

I think Chandler offers a better personality than any of them, indicating he has more intelligence.

If Chandler is smart, he will grapple Conor MacGregor for three rounds, then try to trade with him.

Dustin Poirier is a Beta Male, IMO, and will never be championship material.

Conor MacGregor is an Alpha Male (as long as Khabib Nurmagomedov isn't in the room).

Yup. Plus while Chandler has a questionable chin, he's pretty explosive and strong himself, I remember him ragdolling Benson Henderson. It would be a fun fight between Conor and Chandler, so I'm all for it. I definately don't think it would go the distance (unless Chandler implements a lay and pray gameplan which I doubt).
I dont agree about Poirier tho, I believe he has a chance but Conor will be the favorite, rightfully so

“ I think in terms of opponent difficulty levels, Dustin would be the top of that group. So if one is replacing Dustin, there’s no nice way of saying it, but it’s a slightly easier fight. Dustin is the best of those guys, in my opinion.”


Imo McDon would WAX Chandler. This new version of Justin can be a world of trouble, though.
As for Dustin, I want him to win and I believe that he can surive the early punishment to come back and defeat Conor, but I am afraid of his mental state. Conor managed to get balls DEEP into that brain and feels the first time. ( That wouldn’t happen against a guy like Justin. )

Irish Edmund keeping it real.

I think he’s right.

Patient Gaethje is more dangerous than highlight Gaethje, And chandler is a better wrestler and grinder. both can beat Mcg but to me, Chandler has the worst chin.

both are tailor made for Mcg and unless they follow a very strict game plan they won't beat Mcg easily.

One thing with Kavanagh he never gives credit to wrestling. It's always the "basic overhands, Conor is much more advanced". When Conor struggles hard getting up from the bottom.

because he thinks working out BJJ is better than TDD. Look what happen with khabib. Also, Gaethje improved a lot after getting beat up by Dustin and Alvarez. Chandler has more chance to get beat up by Mcg and he's a better grinder than Gaethje. irish edmund ALWAYS favors Mcg without working out his weakness not named cardio.

Being completely honest, although it's tempting to shit on Conor, I think he's the favourite against anyone in the top 10 right now bar Oliveira.
