Why couldn’t Conor look Khabib in the eyes?

[Homervanderjaz]

I rewatched this fight the other day and noticed again how Conor couldn’t look Khabib in the eye when they were in the cage about to go at it.

why do you think this was?

Has he ever done this in any other fight?

 

[Reydereyes]

Because his eyes were a ballewn

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

He knows he's about to catch a beating for real for all the shit he talked. To quote Paul Buentello, don't fear me, fear the consequences

Also not the first time Conor couldn't look into the eyes of his conqueror

 

[Ares Black]

Existential dread

 

[Snake Master]

He wanted to see himself on the big screen. In rematch, Khabib will have his full attention

Getting a finish in the second round > a majority decision
Try again

Trauma flashbacks to Khabib talking to him while pounding his face.

i always wondered if u dont feel pathetic on the inside to keep up this trolling

[Murder_KickHC]

He didnt want Khabib to see how drunk he was but that having to lean back walk kinda gave it away anyway.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

He knew he was due an asskicking. And it was time to pay up.

 

[supnmunm]

Because he was scared shitless. He knew it was time to pay the piper.

Lol a close MD with Nate fucking Diaz? Not exactly a win Conor or his fans should be bragging about.

 

[Moro]

@Snake Master is a fucking delusional troll.

What a difference a day makes

why do you think this was?

Has he ever done this in any other fight?

this was right after he realized "the secret" was not a magic key to success and that he was very beatable. this sucked a ton of the fun out of it for conor because during his rise he really did think he had found a secret that made him unbeatable.

he had lost that insane level of confidence and the joy and powerful feeling that went with it. he was just going through the motions at that point.
