Lol Dustin shitting on Conor while he’s in the corner with a broken leg.

He deserves it honestly. Conor looked so fucking meek when he went down, that guillotine attempt was desperation at it's finest.

The fact that Conor regularly shits on people who grapple as pussies just made it all the sweeter. Kinda like when he dove on Nate because he knew he was about to get ktfo

I'd be lying if I said Conor's record ending with a string of loses to the same guy repeatedly wasn't funny.

So two things I noticed with McGregor. He was doing the traditional muay thai leg kick of kicking to the thigh (think Aldo v Faber). That shit is so outdated because it is way more risky than the low calf kick, and he was throwing them with everything, as if he was fighting Diaz (who can't check because of how sideways he stands). He also did probably the worst move you can do in high level MMA, the jump guard guillotine. Ended up with him on his back getting Khabib flashbacks and smashed, which is why it's terrible.
The guy even when he's "focused" seems like a relic from 2016. Dustin shitting on him afterwards and his fans was great. That guy crossed a lot of "bro" lines with his shit talk and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving potato nigger. This guy is done. His fans are clinging to a 4th fight "because he totally would have won had he not broken his leg" but I think Dustin is done with him and his snake like bullshit.
Give Dustin that title fight, tell the prick to pack it in or fight Diaz again.

He Diaz'ed himself into not losing any cred from his fans. A lot of people who aren't cocksuckers of him know he's washed, but his diehards will cling to that leg break as an exception.

With the ankle break, at least McGregor won't be able to do that retarded ass walk in the octagon again for a while.
I don't even particularly hate the guy, but that stupid walk is infuriating to me for some reason.
Maybe he should have drank some more milk before fighting.

He missed the evolution of the lightweight division into what it is today while he was playing boxer. No matter how "focused" or "serious" Conor gets he can't recreate the environment that lead to top tier lightweights like Poirer so what we get is essentially peak 2016 Conor again.
Sure Conor is good he's fast and he punches hard, but what does he realisticly have over Poirer in a fight? Poirer floors him on most accounts with the only advantage being his round one knock outs. An advantage Poirier has dealt with twice now. If Conor wants a chance to bear Poirer what he needs is not a few months of training, he needs to fight consistently lightweight for a few years to catch up. Something he'll never do because all he wants are big money Main event fights.
Tldr: Conor doesn't have the ability to improve past 2016.

Definitely. For a man who has had such a presence in the sport and is a massive icon, he hasn't been in the ring much over the past 4-5 years. Everyone is using the low calf kick now because of how safe and effective it is, everyone good is taking pages out of Khabib's wrestling with the Dagestani handcuff and some of his trips and control techniques. Dustin himself used elements of it in his last 3 fights after losing to Khabib. Everyone at the top has had to fight some form of really shitty fight/war at least once over their LW career. Wall walking and anti wall walking wrestling is a modern meta that evolved over the past few years and so on.
He's just not been here, and after this leg break and this completely disgraceful appearance after having his leg snapped, where he behaves like a child, I would not be surprised if he quits.

Come on, bro. Remember when he beat Cowboy in 40 seconds? That was impressive, right?
...
R-right?
In all seriousness, I hope McGregor is able to come back at 100%. He's been resting on his laurels for way too long and its time for him to make the choice to either call it quits or build himself back up by fighting younger, hungrier fighters. If he isn't willing to do either, it's only a matter of time before the fight game completely leaves him in the dust.

Yeah, he's just like Rousey after the Ls to Holm and Nunes, but less suicidal. Dude talking about Dustin's wife post-match showed a lack of composure at a new level, and I think Dustin will Khabib him now for maximum butthurt. He has his money now, will be a lot more recognizable, and is the #1 challenger for the belt.
Everything McGregor has done or said has come back to haunt him, from mocking RDA's ankle break to dodging a rematch with Aldo to saying LW is stuck in the mud when the division has completely passed him by
Conor looked like shit after the first 90 seconds of shitty spin kicks. Then he decides to go to the ground and predictably get the piss beaten out of him until he failed at walking after getting up.
The look of relief on his face once the fight was stopped was priceless. He was going to get KOed if it kept going. Hopefully this is it for him so that his career will be remembered as a bunch of losses in a row and him sitting on the ground in his corner yelling like a fussy child.

The way McGregor threw leg kicks was actually the cleanest ever, but that's the only positive thing I can say about him. He did lots of questionable things, like, no faint, no jab, no combination, throwing leg kicks naked, throwing left straight face first, trying to grab low leg kicks late and jumping for the guillotine, obviously.
I expected him to throw leg kicks like Gajthe/Horiguchi does, ie mixing them with or hiding behind step in punches... but McGregor's kicks/punches were totally separated, separated martial arts really doesn't work well.
Overall he looked so impatient and rough, exciting to watch but dumb way to fight. This is not the same guy who counter KO'd Aldo/Eddie, dude eventually receded as a fighter imo. He would still make a lot of money one way or another (Tuivasa was way more spectacular imo but look at how people talk just about McGregor), but he has to make some serious adjustments if he wants to stay in high level competition. Him vs Pauls wouldn't be bad though. JUST GO BACK TO BOXING, CONOR.

Adesanya/DJ hurt their own feet kicking Jan's/Cejudo's knees, Weidman got his shin snapped in half, etc.... Calf kicks became popular because you can throw them from distance without fearing clinch/takedown/counter/etc that much, but the same risk still exists, they are not that safer.

It is interesting for someone like me who went from a more hardcore fan during that time to a more casual fan in the last few years just how much the sport has evolved during this time.
It also seems, at least to a more casual fan like me, that it is more subtle. For example, I didn't even realize that the leg kicks has transitioned from the thigh to the calf until you mentioned it, but now that I think about it, it makes sense.
It's not like in the NBA where the evolution has changed the game so dramatically in the last 10 years. In 2011, the Orlando Magic lead the league in 3 point attempts with 25.6; in 2021 the New York Knicks were dead last at 30.0 attempts. The changes in MMA have been more subtle.

It is safer though, there is no way of catching your leg on the knee like Conor did here. You aren't as likely to get Hoosted off of low calf kicks. Regardless, the way he used it here was straight out of his fight with Nate Diaz, which is questionable.
I completely forgot that he was the one to initiate the clinch against Poirier because he was getting boxed up and clipped. Outside a few early kicks, he really didn't look great at all. I am also convinced that he is bad at fighting off the back foot when he's being pressured. He's the kind of guy who does well going forward putting pressure, getting a reaction then sliding back and countering.
Also, classic Conor with his cheating tactics when he's on his back. All the stuff he did to Khabib he tried here with Poirier when he was getting smashed. Inserting fingers into the glove to use it as a gi sleeve, grabbing shorts, he probably would have thrown an illegal knee or two from bottom if he could get away with it.

Conor thinks he still has one punch knockdown power, but he doesn’t. Especially against bigger 155 fighters like Dustin. He hit Khabib with a couple clean shots and he walked through them. And that fight was almost three years ago.
He was impatient because his only shot at a win was a quick finish. He’s got about five minutes of cardio in him and would have gotten wrecked in the second round again.

Dustin mocking Conors walk while he was lying there with a broken leg was so inexplicably funny to me

This is as delicious as Masvidal getting slept by Usman and then taking "super necessary" shots after talking so much shit about how Usman "doesn't hit hard at all", even more so tbh.

The "Shut your bitch ass up" at the end was pretty awesome, too
Was pretty awesome to see Hardy get KOed by Tuivasa
O'Malley is way overrated and if Moutinho had thrown more leg kicks, he would've had a legit chance. Guy was eating everything O'Malley threw at him, but O'Malley got hit by a lot of leg kicks. No idea why he abandoned that approach. That stoppage was BS, with only 30 seconds left just let it finish. He wasn't in any more danger there than he was the previous 14:30. O'Malley has to be high if he thinks he has any chance against the top of the division. Yan would take his soul
O'Malley is utter shite but the UFC have realised that Plastic Paddy's are a huge potential revenue stream so they are desperately trying to establish a new irish/irish American fighter now that Conor is a joke
The stoppage in that fight was suss as fuck and I feel bad for Moutinho that the loss will go on his record as a TKO when he was 100% still in the fight when it was called.
