Connor looked pretty average. Didn't have the usual aggression from the get go.

Conor had a little bit too much proper 12 whiskey before the fight...

Conner tried being aggressive but Porier fought back and made Conner retreat quick. And those damn leg kicks ended Conner.

Great fight. I’m honestly not too surprised as Connor has loss several times recently. He’s still the biggest draw though and also props to his professionalism in defeat

Underrated leg kicks. Conor didn't even try to check them and it came back to bite him.

Props to Poirier. I hope we get a rubber match, although Poirier deserves to fight Khabib if he unretires.

Love watching him but always thought he was one of the most overrated fighter that's considered great. I believe he defended his belt only once and yet he was in the class of Jones, Khabib, etc.

Conor's heart wasn't/isn't in fighting, just trying to preserve his money.

Assuming there’s a catch weight and they meet somewhere in the middle, I think McGregor has a great shot against Jake Paul.

McGregor has always been a great striker, even in this fight, and we all know if Jake fought against Mayweather he too would have gotten destroyed (probably even in a worse manner).

Terrible results for humanity. Another blow just like the past year to date has been.

No way does Khabib come out of retirement for Poirier. Poirier vs Chandler will be next.

The only way Conor doesn't finish him early is if something weird happens.

Looks like I underrated Dustin. Way different fighter compared to the first time around.

Now he's beaten MacGregor, Holloway, Gaethje, and Anthony Pettis.

Great fighter.

Wow... Chandler was impressive as hell. Conor is still my favorite, but i've always had a spot for Dustin. He got confident and started rolling. I think we will see a part 3 if Conor doesn't decide to just retire. More money in the boxing anyways.

He's one of the most technically gifted to step in the octagon but his heart and resilience haven't exactly been impenetrable. Don't think he has ever reversed a losing momentum in a fight which is bonkers for someone that got this big. Really puts in perspective how good Jones and GSP are to never waiver when facing adversity
