25:22 "The Logan brothers, Paul and Jake" - Firas Zahabi 2021 😂
Ah yes my favourite youtubers, Paul Logan and Jake Logan. Such an iconic duo!
same thing
He is Pierre Saint-George's coach after all :)
I don't understand what's wrong with it 😖
Im ded
Mcgregor had greater skill than dustin 5 years ago, but dustin stayed constant with his training while mcgregor was on and off. The real lesson from this fight is that consistancy of training beats high end talent that is not consistant.
i complete agree with you brother
The sport changes so fast and mcgregor could adopt to the change (cafe kick)
Conor didn't evolve. The calf kick is a new thing.
McGregor was training the whole time it's just he's inactive just like he said I said it during the fight he looks like hes been inactive
Precisely, Dustin has an elite team behind him at ATT that knows how to analyze his opponents. Dustin’s boxing and fighting IQ has also improved immensely as he’s fought people like Max and Justin over the years. I believe he’ll be the next champ at 155💎💎💎
Nah not me bro you don't know my mentality xD
When Poierier fought Gaethji he felt first hand the destructivness of that calf kick,when he fought Khabib he felt first hand the energy sapping effects of the clinches and ground game, and Poirer used both to beat Connor, clear to see Poierer learns from each fight..I hope he is crowned LWC.
💯💯
It was a different kick tho
@@Ario347 Ok. We can still reference the Jim Miller fight, which was a southpaw vs southpaw fight where Jim utilized the outside calf kick. So either way, DP has experience with them.
Did the Dagestani handcuff on Hooker too lol
@@Andreandthepenguin true!
Diamonds are built under pressure 💎
Gotta love DP's determination
McGregor one hit wonder!!!
Dustin is for ever!!!! Just like diamonds!!
WOOOOOOOOOO
I just released a breakdown of Dustin and Conor's egos and how their egos affected the outcome of the second fight if you're interested!
In dustin vs gaethje fight gaethje literally butchered Dustin's leg but dustin still went along and got the finish
Probably cause his nerve wasn’t shot
@@laneritter3605 Was Conors nerve shot?
Those were on the inside tho, it was southpaw vs. orthodox. McGregor Poirier is southpaw vs. southpaw. Outside calf kicks hurt more
@@naseeem1999 okay i thought since he threw so many kicks atleast few of them would have landed on that nerve area
@@mikegoodwin5951 Yeah, i think Kavanagh confirmed that what caused the damage was the nerve being targeted
Dustins counter right hook when Mcgregor was overextending his lefts really worked as well
Yes but did not really affect the fight.
@@kimkong86 how did it not affect the fight? a right hook counter is what put Conor's back against the cage for the final sequence... other than the calf kicks, they were the defining strike of the fight!
@@angelesoinsectos Conor was finished from the calf kicks so no matter what Dustin would have trown, he would have hit Conor.
@@angelesoinsectos No it was the calf kick that put him there, yes the right hook landed as it allowed him to pivot out whilst “scoring a shot”.
But Conor didn’t try and move out of that position because that calve kick mashed him
@@angelesoinsectos How is it a counter right hook when he is just unloading on Conor against the fence? The counter right hook landed like twice up until the finish and didn't affect him much.
"Firas is a casual" one of my friends after hearing firases prediction then watching the fight 😂😂😂 I was mildly offended lol
Who is this guy? Firas is a fucking coach of a fucking GOAT.
@@MohammadMujahidMuqtar he is a casual stoner guy who started watching mma last year lol
MMA has no experts. In the context of people who can accurately predict the outcome of most fights. Most MMA expert opinions are "I like Fighter A, so Fighter A is going to win."
Another example, Stephen A Smith told everybody that Cowboy Cerrone didn't show up versus Conor McGregor, and the entire MMA community attacked Stephen A Smith. A few weeks later, Cowboy Cerrone is on record telling everybody he didn't show up versus Conor McGregor. LOL
@@francmittelo6731 no one can accurately predict any combat sport though? Not even boxing which has been around for what..... 350 years? So please don't act like stephen a smith is comparable to someone like bjj scout or Brendan dorman or jack slack. And that's not how real anylasts make picks lol "I LikE dIS oNe sO hE gOnnA wIN" stop watching chael and Stephen smith pls.
Conor is the casual here
Leading up to UFC 246, Conor’s Coach - John Kavanagh said: “Conor knows more about fighting than the rest of us put together.”
Do you think part of Conor’s downfall is that he has taken more control of the direction of his trainings / strategy for fights? Rather than lean on his coach, that can help him with his blind spots and be more objective?
I think so for sure. After round 1, the corner were pretty positive, 'your doing good etc keep things as they are' they made no mention of the leg kicks, which were already a problem in round 1 because hse his leg was compromised, so the corner didn't adjust to what was happening and I think sometimes his corner isn't strict enough with him.
Love this question, haven’t thought of this perspective surrounding recent Conor
Leg kicks was only a part. He established double threat of either takedown or a punch, by starting sequence with same footwork. Was able to counter left hand with right hooks. Leg kicking just made all of it it easier but Dustin and his team had multiple aswers to the Connor question.
Dustin said in the post conference that the shot hurt him and if connor would have followed up he would have been in trouble. So it was not 1shot kill but...
@bernard martin he seems like pretty straight shooter with stuff like that. I don't think so. Not to take anything from Dustin, he pulled it off big time, but don't pretend.
@bernard martin rematach would be instresting and i got conor he did hurt him dustin is straight forward indeed he was hurt and conor got overzealous pretty simple
amazing channel coach Zahabi. It's amazing having one of the top coaches in the game, giving his thoughts on youtube, answering questions from around the world.
The leg kicks aren't the only reason why Conor over-extends on his rear hand punch. He does it almost all the time, especially because he tends to prefer if his opponent circles to his right, away from his power hand. His most successful punch is when he throws the left cross across the inside to catch the circling opponent.
It is bad punch mechanics, but he gets away with it because of how accurate he is; the opponent cannot take advantage of his being off balance for a moment because they get hit by it and are hurt.
Conor's talent is not so much that the left hand is some unstoppable shot, but he is great at getting the fight to a situation where his accuracy and the opponent's over-extension and off-balance causes them to be unable to take the shot. His round kicks get them moving in the direction he wants them to, and his linear/straight kicks maintains an uncomfortable distance, combined with his lead handfighting, to bait them to reach/lunge in, and then he can step/lean back and counter.
Tim tam works so well. I’ve been using it for years to help tension. Discovered on your channel.
Thanks for the video, coach. You're truly the GOAT coach.
I don’t really remember a fight where Conor was getting rocked and came back to win. He seems to lose all energy when his initial game plan doesn’t work. But props to Dustin. Big heart. Hard worker.
Diaz 2 he was in trouble
@@anonymouse7106 yeah he did rebound there. I think the biggest problem with Conor is lack of activity. Which actually in his case is not really his fault.
Vs Mendes he did comeback but it was not soo much so I see your point
Vs Mendes he was getting mauled on the floor for most of the fight and bounced up with loads of energy to finish Chad off
@@fitprotunes Mendez came in on a week notice he gassed out .
If I were Conor:
Take Iaquinta in May, Diaz in August, Hooker in December.
Then go for a title shot early 2022.
I would rack up some wins before going for the title. Because the likes of Gathje, Oliveria & Poirier are tough fights for him rn.
But we all know Conor will probably get a title shot a lot sooner because of his name.
Excellent plan. Wish Conor would do something like this instead of asking for a rematch for the title after a loss.
@@asdf1991asdf agreed. He's like the bully in school nobody would stand up to. So when he finally gets hit back, he's in shock & can't understand what's happening.
@@asdf1991asdf Conor is as good as ever. But the rest of the pack has gotten better than him. And lets remember, Connor has only one win at 155. One single win. Against Alvarez who certainly is/was past his prime.
While it certainly not game over for Conor, it’s probably the beginning of his end. New rising stars are on the horizon & I love how respectful they are
He certainly can't be as cocky as he used to be, the intimidating factor is tarnished
I think all of the top 5 would give him problems. Chandler & Islam too
Everyone else is boring, theres a reason McGregor has the top 4 highest UFC PPV fights, UFC is going downhill when Conor leaves
@@PresidentEvil no its not. Masvidal, Izzy, Jon Jones etc are all draws. Conor is an anomaly, there's no one on his level charisma wise in the ufc.
But there's an abundance of talent. UFC would still kick on without Conor
@@michael43567 none of those guys are even close to having record high PPV buys or gate....
I can listen to this all day. I miss training.
Great video as always !
TELL US WHAT HAPPENED TO OTTMAN “Mission Impossible” AZAITAR
He didn’t talk about it!?!?
Facts that’s the only reason why I’m here Rn firas speak up!
@@nato4155 why? Is he Firas' fighter?
@@michael43567 it’s said ottmans team cut off their wristbands and gave it to someone outside the bubble. Firas was on ottmans team
@@nato4155 damn. I'm sure Firas wasn't involved in that, I hope so at least
Great episode
Conor doesn't need motivation, he needs discipline and I feel like his coach is too much of a yes man to do that. It's as if Conor is his own coach and his team is just there to play cheer leader
Conor should hire Khabib as coach.
I don‘t understand how you come to thag conclusion AT ALL. There is absolutely 0 evidence for it.
You tell him mate 😂
I think people bought mcgregors product a bit too much whereas Dustin just was the more experienced and tougher man 🤷♂️
@@Ario347 These people are literally throwing shit around hoping it sticks, they have absolutely no idea of what's going on in any of those fighters lives.
@@141smurphy1 ?? Nobody 'bought' anything buddy, we've seen him fight is all, if you really think 305 underdog was all about the hype you're wrong. Anyone who knows anything about MMA realises how dangerous and skillful Conor is. Turns out people didn't notice how insanely good Poirier is, that's just the MMA community for you though, I won 1k betting for Dustin because I knew what was up
Love Firas's pre fight and post fight breakdowns. I can't wait to see Teddy Atlas's breakdown of the fight also, he is probably waiting till he can have Dustin on the show to do his breakdown
Coach, why is your skin so perfect in this video?
It's in 720p
Thanks coach! I love these CZcams streams, you should do them more frequently !🤙
Brothers after you popularized the massage gun i tried the vybe but it's too loud. Is the timtam the best on market?
conor should get back to his old style,he was fighting inside too much so much force on the front leg,he didnt kick porier to the body even once,he didnt kick at all his deadly weapons,he should train with his movement coach ido portal again,im sure he will be back stronger than ever
He has not fought like that since 145 really, maybe there is a reason behind it ? Might need to be more flat footed to have enough power to rock 155ers ?Thing is he still needs to plant his front foot to punch, so Dustin could still time the low kick off Conors 1 before the 2 comes, plus his leg will be closer to Dustin due to the stance, I'm not convinced it would of helped much, checking the kicks properly would of made a better impact, in my opinion.
It wasn't Ido that taught Conor to fight in his karate style. It was John kavanagh who has a black belt in karate, look back at some of conors earlier fights before Ido. He was fighting with good balance, well centred not front heavy. He has to get back to his karate routes.
very good coach
If mcgregor took his old wide karate stand it would have been even easier for porier to land those kicks, so it doesn’t matter really.
Conor never goes for his own leg kicks, that's the problem really imo
No. When he had that stance he was very light in the front foot and retracted it when somebody tried to hit it. Most his wheight was on the back, and he was constantly jumping, not flat footed
@@Shallaan that’s what I think. Conor has better mobility with his legs than Dustin and is much more loose all round and imo more powerful so I think of Conor implements a kick game he would beat Dustin
@@MFBMQ i also feel like that stance is bad for energy conservation, which is why connor gasses in later rounds. Maybe he thought if he brought a flat footed approach he could conserve energy to later rounds if needs be.
old or new mcgregor didnt throw any feints or kicks when he had dustin hurt he just telegraphed his shots it wasnt mgregor like
Here’s my assessment:
Conor doesn’t have as much heat on his left hand due to pummeling in the clinch and most of all he’s no landing on smaller guys at 145lbs.
The 155ers are eating the left and still coming.
Conor has gone the way of Ronda rousey.
After winning all that money from fighting mayweather he lost his hunger while the division kept evolving, he hasn’t.
Fighting once a year against an inconsistent fighter like cowboy cerrone gave him a false sense of security to think he would just walk right through Dustin as he did 6 yrs ago but let’s be honest, in the first fight Conor hit Dustin on the back of the head including 2-3 more ground and pound shots on the back up the head before the ref called it.
And what people don’t know is Dustin is a southpaw but he’s right handed and Conor weaved right into that right hook that was the kill shot.
It was a great game plan by att coaches. Not too mention Thiago alves was one of Dustin’s cornermen he’s a leg kicking beast
Nobody as ever targeted Conor’s legs which makes me think if Conor fought someone like barboza or gathje they would murder him.
Now everyone will come for his legs from here on out.
So he needs to get active because the 155 division is shark water.
Great game plan again:
Early takedown made Conor work
Pummeling and clinch fighting tired out Conor’s arms and punching power
Applied calf kicks
Finished with high volume striking
Conor’s challenge on the feet is vs high volume strikers with big gas tanks.
He struggled against Nate Diaz and he got finished by poirier and would probably get finished by Holloway too.
All high volume strikers.
Conor’s days are numbered
Great analysis of the fight. 100% agree. I would also add that he doesn’t have coaches and a team as smart as Dustin’s. That also cost him I believe. Conor’s coach says he didn’t realise how brutal calf kicks could be which isn’t proper form from a head coach in my opinion.
I think the big thing is the weight class. He was undefeated at 145 and is 3-3 outside of that weight class 3-4 if you want to count the boxing loss to Floyd. If he wants to be the big fish in the small pond it needs to be at 145. Even there he might not be these days but he has a better chance than 155.
Perfect and truth 👍
Nailed it! GOAT comment
I love those first 2 points. Conor got the vast majority of his finishes in the featherweight division vs smaller men. He's 1-2 in the lightweight division, being finished twice.
And his left hand tends to fade as the fight goes on.
He did tko cerrone a welterweight, but he's past him prime & has lost 4 in a row.
Agree with your observation- conor saw the exit and ran to it. What do u think about Conor using this boxing inspired approach vs. the bouncy-wide based stance he used to use?
I personally think it's because of cardio issues
Hey at 1:00 in the first round Conor tagged Dustin with a Jab but then refuses to throw the left. You can see how Dustin is dazzled from that right. I think if Conor would throw that left Dustin were out. What do you think? Do you know why Conor did not throw that punch? (sorry for the bad english).
Simple. Dustin thrives in wars whereas Conor folds in wars. We saw it against Nate diaz where he landed everything but the kitchen sink and nothing seemed to stop Nate and Conor almost just gave up, he couldn’t adjust . Dustin had amazing gameplan that worked . Conor had no answer
Great 👍🏼 analysis - I had picked Poirier because he always had the offensive tools to beat Conor & I felt he would make the necessary defensive adjustments.
5:08 I'm pretty sure he meant the 1st round there (not the 2nd). That clean one-two Conor landed sometime in the second half of the round 1
Anyone see Conor's comments on the leg kicks? It seemed really odd, as if he never expected those to hurt.
I’m happy to see how the arrogant shuts.
It was me who picked Poirier in the pre fight analysis
You want some validation?
Coach, what about the Nasrat Haqparast ❓
Is he okay and why he didn't perform
I'm not sure why Conor switched his whole style up into standard boxing. I feel like it threw his timing and rhythm off pretty noticeably, as well as took a bit of power away from his strikes.
Something you won't hear the casuals talking about.
Casual talking points right now are "Man those leg kicks" and "Man Conor's head isn't in the game anymore".. "Man it's coz of that boxing stance"
As Conor whooped José
Dustin whooped Conor.
It’s the game we love.
And he didn't give Aldo a rematch, just like Khabib isn't giving Conor a rematch. Full circle lol
It's almost like what happened to Shawn omalley against chito. When they're leg went they kinda broke
Logan brothers 🤣🤣.. Coach you are a gem 💎😂
Also consider showing the fight on screen, slow, reverse,pause as LUKE THOMAS just uliilized with his breakdown of Conor/Dustin....really effective for us viewers
I just released a psychological breakdown if you want to see exactly why Conor looked so different against Dustin
coach what do you think of max holloway??
Would you train Conor if he gave you full control as head coach? Also do you think you could improve him enough up to his next fight to warrant us to believe he could make a run for a title shot. Thanks coach
Conor should have went for his own leg kicks going in - his leg kicks against Diaz II were fantastic
Yes but it's hard to kick with a leg that is dead... 🤔
@@jonasbertilbellander he said, going in
@@jonasbertilbellander and actually it is much easier to kick with a dead legg than to stand on it.
sounds Good
Hey coach. How would you advise and coach Connor to get back
18:15 almost exactly a Bruce Lee position! 60% on the front foot a bladed stance but not completely sideways
It’s that sparring with MASVIDAL man I’m telling you!!!! It helped Dustin
al zahabi = gold/golden
Do you say last weekend because Sunday is the beginning of the week? I usually just say yesterday
Monday is the beginning of the week
65 minutes of a master speaking and this is your question
Haha not sure why that cracked me up so much
20;50 "Ultimately the leg kicks took McGregor out" ! That's right.
I don’t think mcgregor gave up on the fight I just think his leg was compromised so he couldn’t circle out and back away like he wanted to. Also his corner told him to keep his left hand uo when exiting and he didn’t get his hand up to block that right hook that dropped him. It was more of him being outclassed in the skill department and getting calf kicked of course
Never clicked so fast.
It seems like it’s a simple fix for mcregor to check those leg kicks. What if he had just done that, different outcome of the fight ?
What if he just comes into the next fight prepared to handle the leg kicks.
Why didn't they ice Connor's leg between rounds?
That might help with inflammation and swelling but not the dead nerve part. Ice really helps with kicks on the thigh because its much thicker and the nerves are more protected. Calf muscles are smaller and the nerves more easily damaged. He probably couldn’t feel his lower leg after the 3rd calf kick. The main solution would have been to check the kicks or change stances and pull the leg. Conor did neither. He leaned into the front leg even more than in previous fights, good read/game plan from Dustin.
It would show Poirers corner that they're getting to McGregor
icing makes ur leg even slower and you will eat more strikes just leave it and fight until the fight is over
@@stevenw2933 those outside low kicks must be tough to check properly as the flat front part of the shin bone is angled in, it’s not flat across the front of the leg. To catch the foot or shin directly on the front of your shin would almost require you to turn your leg out like 135 degrees. I guess this is how the muy thai stance developed.
Conor when he fought kahbib it was a display of heart also
Coach Firas will appear live (IncahAllah) on Subboors channel , make sure to tune-in !

It was amazing to watch Poirier, it looked like he had jitters until the last 20 seconds of the fight, also Conor's shots rattled him good, but then something clicked in him, like you can visually even see it change as he starts circling after a couple of good shots from Conor, like a realization that it's just a fight or something, he tuned in like in all his other fights, unleashed a flurry as you said here and bamm. Finished.
Everyone talks about a motivated McGregor I would be so intrigued to see a combinations throwing McGregor. Whose not just a sniper but can mix it up and pressure opponents with volume.
His cardio is crap, I can't see him being a volume puncher.
He was like canelo vs smith but on this is mma...WHERES UR KICKS CONOR ..I REMEMBER CONOR SAYING HE WANTED HIS KICKS TO BE LIKE HIS JABS .
You're the best Firas! My favorite mind in MMA
The Logan brothers😂😂😂 never change coach
I have not studied the following points carefully yet but Gaethje kicked Khabib's calf several times. That was when Khabib got on with business took him down and choked him out before he lost his leg.
I know everyone is talking Southpaw is problematic for Conors front leg but I think some good orthodox fighters could use their lead left leg to calf kick the outside of Conors right lead leg.
The Diamond is Real
I'm so glad these podcasts are back, when you were sick and they weren't coming out I was heartbroken. I'm glad you're doing well and recovering coach.
I wish Conor (and actually more fighters) involved coach Firas in their training camps. The Game would benefit so much
Also from a kicking style perspective, mcgregor kicking striking base has always been both Karate and Tae kwon do kicks. Im sure mcgregor has cross trained in Muay thia to some extent, but unfortunaty muay thai isnt his primary kicking style. Which would explain alot as to why mcgregor didnt block poriers calf kicks as well as he should have.
Not really that doesn't explain anything actually
I should have bet this one! I felt like Dustin's striking defense had improved just enough to avoid getting hit clean, and lo and behold! Then again, I also thought Dan was gonna win, so.. maybe not 😂
Thanks for the great breakdown as always!
Firas, legend of the game. Always enjoy this content.
Firas with the Shure SM7B mic the closer you put your mouth to it, the boomier the bass will be...
Coach youve been way behind in the comment section for the last two episodes please can you check that i hope you read this 🙏
Hey Coach, tell me if you agree:
Conor has brought more eyes to the sport than anyone, so he deserves the 3rd fight with Dustin for the Interim belt (which would be huge for the UFC).
Since Dustin is looking to help his community through his foundation, he should go for the big $ fights. His biggest payday by far is the Conor trilogy, his next biggest payday would be Nate Diaz (who is asking for the match), after that a rematch with Khabib (if he hasn't retired) would be a huge payday, or Dustin could fight his teammate Masvidol at a catch weight for a mega fight.
GSP should fight against Khabib for the 155 belt at a catch weight, which would make it one of the biggest fights in UFC history. It would solidify Khabib as the possible GOAT if he wins, or GSP as the ultimate GOAT by winning a belt in a third division.
Would be good to see Mcgregor work with you at Tristar for a change up.
I agree with that comment about Conor having poor punching mechanics. When on the front foot, he often leans over his front knee to reach his target, instead of getting his feet into position to then deliver the offense. He doesn't keep his feet under him, which reduces his power and leaves him defensively vulnerable.
So i was giving him a tad over 40 percent chance...thease guys in the top 5 of welterweight an light weight our relly close in skill at the top..what other divisions our this close
And that 1 guy is me actually, I commented DP, dont be sleeping on DP at the end, and i actually commented DP DP multiple time 🤣🤣
Who takes the Biggest Heart Belt, Dustin Poirier, Tony Ferg, or Anthony Smith??
Tony
@@NakkiArchives to not tap to that arm bar recently bro, hard to argue. That man is a monster human being fr
Heart has nothing to do with how this fight ended. You should check out the technical breakdowns of what happened by the boxing community. It's very interesting with frame-by-frame breakdowns. This comes off as just podcast rambling.
Where i can find those technical breakdowns?
Conor, the UFC cash-cow no longer has the GRIT/WILL To Win! When the going gets tuff, he gives up/taps outs, makes off with the "loot" back to the 300ft yacht. Dustin has PAID IN FULL!
Firas is a great coach but hos analysis is B class.
Jack slack and dan hardy are the best analysts imo
31:45 Firas...TF... NOOOOOOOOOO
The takedown and extended clinch by Dustin sapped Conor's one shot KO power. After that Dustin was relatively immune to Conor's one shot KO and felt more confident engaging in the pocket.
In my opinion, Connor was fighting on one leg for the last minute to 30 seconds of that fight. That's why he got knockout. I thought he won the first round but his timing was also off. He wasn't setting up his strikes, which allow Dustin to read Connor. I agree with Connor's analysis of his own fight...He was rusty. The question is can he get sharp again or did we witness the decline of Connor.
Poirer said (i think in the post-fight press con) he was hurt by that left shot and if Connor followed up, he (Poirer) may have been in trouble
Dustin was willing to give the first round to lay the groundworks for a dominant win.
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. Classic example
I’m sure Conor worked plenty hard.
Maybe he did in last couple of months or so. But overall since 2014 Dustin worked hard 10x more than Connor. Hence he was the better man without exceptional talent
@@lupus4687 lol then how do you explain why Dustin had 2 hard fought fights with Eddie Alvarez but McGregor made Eddie look like rookie. Or how conor fought a better fight against Khabib than Dustin was able to do. Because dustin worked 10x harder since 2014 ? Lol
Plain and simple poirier had the better strategy and executed
@@edjgarcia2 Honestly it all ended for Connor after the fight with Floyd. Change of sparring team, drugs whiskey and 100 million in the back took away his focus. He was never the same after that fight. Even in the last fight he was flatfooted . Nothing like the old connor. And what dustin has become since 2014, he definitely worked harder than connor.
I don't understand how you can downplay Dustin's performance like that.
Even before the fight Bas Rutten talked about how that calf kick is very hard to check with that karate stance. Every technique has its counter, that's the beauty of the sport
although he's by no means an mma expert, Shannon Sharpe was right when he said Conor is a one-trick pony. If the big left doesn't work, Conor doesn't seem to have an alternative way to win. His gas tank is below average, he doesn't really go for takedowns, he doesn't really go for submissions.
Gathje & Chandler have great wrestling & power in both hands, Oliveria has good striking and high level bjj, Tony has great bjj & dynamic striking. Conor only really has the left hand. It was enough vs the featherweights, but in the lightweight & welterweight divisions combined, he's 3-3. One of the wins was a close SD vs Nate, another was against a declining Cerrone who was coming off 2 tko losses.
At the moment, I don't think Conor beats any of the top 5 or Chandler. They're more well-rounded & are sharper atm. Then again Conor is capable to knocking out anyone in the divison, so you can never count him out.
Very well said.
I agree. the top 5 are just more well rounded fighters if they come in with a decent gameplan they can win or at least give him a tough fight
I just released a breakdown of Dustin and Conor's egos and how their egos affected the outcome of the second fight if you're interested!
Mcgregor did not know how to block them legkicks. Poirier adressed this in an interview, Mcgregor blocked the kicks, but Poirier realized his tecnique was off, so he just kicked through the block.
Motivated mgregor
I’M NOT A HARER BUT CONOR MADE SOME REALLY BASIC MISTAKES IN THERE AND IT SEEMED LIKE HE HAD NO AGGRESSION AND MISSED A LOT OF STRIKES.
I THINK HE SHOULD RETIRE SO HE DOESNT MESS WITH HIS LEGACY AND ACHIEVEMENTS
I DO LIKE CONOR IM JUST BRING REALISTIC
Chandler versus Gahtje or Olivera then a title fight with Dustin.
Sitting requires more energy then standing cuz of bloodflow!!!
nah bro 2 minutes rest can help alot
FIGHTS THAT SHOULD HAPPEN :
KHABIB VS KAMARU or OLIVERA
CONOR VS JORGE MAS or TONY
DUSTIN VS NATE
CHANDLER VS GATHJE
Wow, you actually came up with an Usman fight I would be excited about. Usman vs Khabib would be 🔥🔥🔥
Dustin vs NATE? WTF!!??
Usman v Khabib would be good
Conor v Tony
Poirer v Oliver (for the title)
Chandler v Gaethje (winner gets next crack at the title)
@@Flash4freedom fair and square
It’s not even fun entertaining Usman khabib since they’re friends but khabib vs Oliver’s is definitely intriguing
beside Khabib(he is just on another level) is this the first time he didn't drove his oponent crazy before the fight &consequently lost?
Nope. He talked a ton of shit before the first diaz fight and Nate didn't give a fuck and then strangled him.
@@aricwormsbecher2138 exactly 😘
Best fight analysis in the business. Thanks, coach.
I'm here for a good time - New Conor
I HOPE COACH READS THIS
Coach I had some comments about your last podcast about the philosophy portion, I hope you will take the time to read this.
Coach Descartes was right when he said ''I think therefore I am''. He is trying to prove the essence of a human being, and the essence of a human being is not his hands, legs, etc, rather the knowledge of his own existence. When Nietsche tried to rebuke by thinking that the I is a presuppositon, its not. The knowledge of self cant be a presupposition, because you would already need to exist to suppose it. Therefore, the knowledge of your being throughout space and time is the essence of being a human being.
As for thinking of everything as vapour, i think of everything as ether. Nothingness. However nothingness is also confined in space, and nothing needs to exist NOW for there to be a reality. Hence even though its all nothing, it exists within a confined space, and within a particular period of time. Therefore, you have space and time. Now for this space and time to expand into matter, and thus form the universe, you need an emergence. The nothing emerges into matter (something). Scientists like to think of this emergence as the big bang, but then they also say that the big bang was random and chaotic and nothing became something just by pure chaos..BUT THIS IS WRONG !!! Nothing CANNOT become something though entropy (chaos) because if there is no organizational force propelling the expansion of nothing, you have further chaos. Then you just have more nothing, which are in perpetual chaos. Therefore, the entropy eventually needs a ''hidden hand'' which ORDERS the entropic nothingness to expand into space, in a duration of time, to become matter (something.) The hidden hand is GOD, and GOD is the only conclusion. GOD is the only entity which is PERFECT (not a composition, rather cannot be added to or removed from), and cannot be doubted.
Pythagoras's conclusion that everything is numbers is also faulty because it doesnt stop there. Atoms broken down to the nth degree are ether (nothing), but this ether has maethmatical confinements. Mathematical confinements are dictated by numbers. But what are Numbers? Numbers are order. Numbers are a determined machination. So whats behind an order machination? We already proved entropy cannot become tropy by further entropy, So for something to be ordered, there is a force behind it ordering its order, and GOD is the answer.
If you ask me, I believe the whole universe is a confinement (Even though ever expanding: golden ratio/fibonacci sequence), and the parameters of this confinement have been programmed by GOD.
