Broke his hand during warm-ups before the fight, then still went out and out on a hell of a performance. I love his style, and the cut of his jib. Never heard of him before tonight, now I'm a fan for life.
 
He's on my radar for sure. Except for fading in the last few minutes of the 3rd, the dude was spectacular.

Confidence was great. He used his range very well. Striking and ground game look really good. That cardio might need some work, but still, amazing performance tonight.
 
Ya that guy was a freaking stud. Good to see some badass new blood

I've been saying Conor did one thing right which is making it where Zabit fights on the main card...One day this kid will be champ... this fight was a good test for him.
 
He's my favourite prospect, but the dude has to work on his cardio if he wants to hang at the top. Bochniak was starting to get the better of him towards the end of the 3rd.
 
Dude is awesome...his striking impressed me in his UFC debut and he looked pretty good tonight. Like others said...his cardio was fading and he would have been in trouble had it been a 5 round fight.

yea he definitely has potential, but he gassed in the 3rd and was getting hit with those overhands.
 
hes so fucking good. his striking is awesome hes got hands and kicks. his defense is good hes always in good position and just out of the way of his opponents shots. his wrestling is great and hes got subs. the real deal. he'll fight max in early 2019
 
He looked phenomenal. The only problem might be cardio from a seemingly huge weight cut.
 
He looked great. Seems pretty skinny. He might have to move up eventually.
 
Personally I wasn't super impressed. His defense was horrible and he was fighting a complete jabroni. Zero head movement at all.
 
If you look at him the first time, you will probably think he is a farmer with low income and one slap would KO him.

Actually, in reality he would be so dominant that he will be charged for molestation with abuse of force against a vulnerable adult.

I like him, fun guy to watch.
 
Yeah, dude is as close to perfect as a fighter as I've seen. Props to his game opponent though.
 
When he shores up the cardio issues. He'll dominate his weight class. He can even go up to 155lbs too since he's very tall for 145 and is fairly skinny for it.
 
He should cut his hair shorter.

A lot of times his hair would bounce and it'd look like he got hit when he really wasn't.

His striking in the first fight, the grappling looked unreal good in the 2nd fight. He has an amazing skill-set for MMA. If he continues to do the right things, he'll be perhaps the best fighter in the sport in a couple years time IMO.
